Can AI Really Analyze the $390B+ Auto Aftermarket? I Put It to the Test.

The automotive aftermarket is a beast – complex, resilient, and constantly shifting. As someone who's spent years in the trenches, I got curious: could today's generative AI actually make sense of it all without specialized training?

ChatGPT's take on the aftermarket? It laid out a solid plan and delivered a comprehensive analysis. The report nailed the recent robust growth and significant industry shifts, while also looking ahead to continued expansion (though maybe at a more 'normal' pace) and the big transformations being driven by tech and changing customer expectations. It really set the benchmark in the AI comparison we did.
