The AI Why with Liam Lawson

I've said this before, and I'll say it again:AI isn't smart, it's fast. It can't "take" your job, especially if you're staying on top of things. Yes, there's a steep learning curve to using generative AI. But if we're honest, that curve is less about the technology and more about the fact that humans are just naturally obstinate creatures. To help drive this point home, we're on with Ray Hayden, S...

Generative AI is everywhere, it's the new thing we all can't stop talking about, no matter how much the reasonable people around me ask me to. But despite how dominant it is, it's not the end all, be all. Generative AI probably isn't taking your job, and it's almost certainly not going to take over the world. At worst, it's going to give you something new to have to learn, and at best, it'll be a...
