🚀Choice Hotels: Rocking AI Like Tony Stark, But Giving GenAI a Time-Out! 🙅‍♂️

💥BOOM!💥 Our pals at Choice Hotels have been duking it out with AI like Tony Stark and Jarvis for years! 😎🤖 But, when it comes to the fresh-faced GenAI, they're lounging on the bench, popcorn at the ready, waiting for the initial creases to be ironed out smoother than a Superman cape. 🍿🎢

🔥Chatty McChatface Sets the Tech World Ablaze! 🔥

OpenAI's ChatGPT (or as we love to call it, 'Chatty McChatface') has been stirring up more buzz than a Queen Bee's royal rave, but our hospitality heroes aren't quite ready to throw their hat into the GenAI ring. 🐝💤

🏆Choice Hotels: The Tony Stark of the Hospitality Industry! 🏆

Choice Hotels, the folks boasting more brands than Batman's utility belt, aren't newbies when it comes to tech tomfoolery. They've been dabbling with AI and machine learning long enough to make even Doc Brown yell, "Great Scott!" 🕰️⚡

They've chalked up more firsts than a Mario Kart race 🍄🏎️ - from launching the first hotel website with real-time data (whoa, right?!) to developing a hotel app for iOS before it was the hip thing to do. These pioneers have been smashing through tech barriers like the Kool-Aid Man through a brick wall. 😱💥

🎢GenAI: Not Ready for a Joyride Just Yet 🎢

But, whoa there, tech cowboys and cowgirls! 🤠💻 Even though they've woven AI through their operations like a golden thread in Wonder Woman's lasso, they're pumping the brakes when it comes to welcoming GenAI into their tech family. 🕸️

Choice Hotels' resident tech genius, Brian Kirkland, sees GenAI as a lighting rod ⚡🧲 with the potential to flip the script on guest decision-making. However, like a cautious Jedi sensing a tremor in the Force, he suggests we're still in the training wheels phase of this tech and it's got some growing pains to overcome. 🟢👽

Despite GenAI's hiccupy beginnings (hallucinations? inaccuracies? IP issues? Yikes! 😬), Kirkland believes that when GenAI hits puberty, it's gonna be a game-changer - a 'leapfrog' moment for the industry quicker than Sonic the Hedgehog after a power-up. 🐸⚡

👀Choice Hotels: Watching GenAI Like a Hawk (or a Bat) 👀

GenAI might be a fledgling just yet, but the folks at Choice Hotels are monitoring it like Batman over Gotham City. 🦇🌃 They're confident that when GenAI comes of age, it's gonna be a game-changing tool that could give Thor's Mjölnir a run for its money! 👀💪🔨 Now, if that's not a superheroic endorsement, I don't know what is!
