Episode Synopsis

Many envision AI as a cheerful housekeeper like Rosie the Robot from *The Jetsons*, but today's AI is quite different. It's information-driven and, when misused, leads to more noise and notifications, creating process debt. In this episode, Chris and Toby discuss the true utility of AI, highlighting how shiny new tools can overshadow their actual value. They emphasize the importance of integration, automation, and craftsmanship in technology. Covering topics from factory floors to family farms, the conversation explores what AI should achieve for us and the enduring significance of craftsmanship. This episode offers a reflective look at the gap between our imagined future and the reality we're building, along with tips on using AI effectively without losing our judgment.
