“AI is not coming for anybody's job or hobby or profession. People who can use AI are coming for people's jobs.”
— Glenn Broder
Glenn Broder of Human Judgment in the Age of AI shows small-business owners how to keep a human in charge of AI, so you get better results and fewer confident mistakes. Here is the plain-English version.
Glenn has spent four years working with large language models every day. He shares a simple tip for any chat: before you send your prompt, ask the AI to tell you what it understood. You will probably hear 80 to 90 percent of what you meant, and the gap is where the trouble hides. He also explains why he saves every iteration to a Google Drive, and how he checks one AI against another.
James and Glenn dig into what AI means for employees, why Glenn would rather cut the drudgery than cut the people, and how he uses AI to find ideal prospects on LinkedIn while a human approves every comment. They also get into schools, AI policies nobody can explain, ethics, and the economy.
If you have been treating AI like a calculator, this one will make you rethink that. Press play and learn how to be the one driving.
