Yes but it is training from this and as a result should get better. Ai was bad at everything until it stole the Internet and used it for training.

It's an llm though, not really ai, and it hasn't really gotten "better," than automated programs to make decisions based on metrics, which would outperform llm's as a ceo.

Mind you, stealing the internet worked because they effectively had the sum total of human knowledge as a training set. I don't think that there's nearly as much detailed data on the minutiae of running a business.

There is no model that can be trained in real time currently, and one instance isn’t going to offer anything to the model as far as new training data goes.
