054: How to Merge Technology and Genuine Connections 34:24

10M ago34:24

34:24

The question is, can we as humans compete with technology? Especially AI. One of my clients uses Chat GPT for everything. A friend of mine talks to Siri all day long. She uses it like you, and I may have used 411 to gather phone numbers and make dinner reservations. I don't use AI to write my content. But I do use a tool that transcribes my podcast…

51:23

As someone who prefers to smoke my buzz, I am not surprised by how mainstream it's becoming.
