Is AI unique enough to have its own forum?

[Alex Snyder]

Asking the community if you’d like an AI-specific forum or not? Is it so embedded in everything that it would be like having a forum specifically for mobile phones?

P.S. on this same somewhat-related topic, should we kill the EV forum?

Dealers are already using AI for lead follow-ups, inventory descriptions, pricing, ad copy, call summaries, and translation. Having a place to share what works and what’s a waste of money would be good.

On the EV forum I wouldn’t remove it. Battery cost, charging infrastructure, resale value, and range are still evolving fast. If companies push costs down or range up, EV demand could spike quickly and dealers will want that information.

Forums are cheap. Missing the next big shift is expensive.

An AI specific forum would be great!

ya. So much change is happening here, so fast, it'll make your eyes bleed.

Examples: Vendors can be vaporized overnight. And Vendors create new products that are simply "AI in a shiny wrapper"

Over the decades, DR's forum has seen it all... a few of the big ones are FB, DR, Carvana, and more.

Nothing has penetrated the structure of the Franchised Car Dealer Universe.

Until Now... Right Here, Right Now.​

This is the 4th Industrial Revolution. AI is going to blow **everything** up.
