Listen "AI is your Coach, not your Substitute"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Mike Carr stresses using AI as a coach, not a replacement—like how real coaches build skills through practice. Citing MIT economist Sinan Aral’s idea of AI as "a bicycle for the mind," Carr shares research showing that AI helped low-performing call center workers improve, with lasting effects even after AI was removed. He applies this to naming, arguing AI should guide users to observe real reactions, not just guess. Success in naming comes from response, not opinion. Used this way, AI sharpens instincts, boosts creativity, and enhances decision-making.
