Erik Hermansen, the Director of Engineering at Bayer, joins us on the podcast today. Erik is a self-taught software engineer who is passionate about bleeding edge techs, like Generative AI and LLMs. He has a lot of sympathy for folks who feel overwhelmed and overloaded by all the hype around GenAI. His advice is to slow way down and focus on what can be done with the tech today. Throughout today's episode, Erik and Zach discuss the practical implications of GenAI right now. They'll give advice to engineers and businesspeople alike on how to take advantage of Generative AI and LLMs with bite-sized tasks that can be completed now, not at some unknown date in the future. Listen in as we cut through the hype and excitement and get down to the meat and potatoes.   Like, Subscribe, and Follow: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAIUNkXmnAPgLWnqUDpUGAQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/keyhole-software Twitter: @KeyholeSoftware Find even more Keyhole content on our website (https://keyholesoftware.com/).
