AI will change your life! Are you ready? Today we dive into the evolving landscape of AI, the capabilities and limitations of current AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini, and why most users don't get the results they truly want. While AI is a very powerful but immature tool, learning how to use it effectively will help you to stay relevant in the workforce and can benefit your personal life as well. AI disruption is inevitable and potentially beneficial but it also raises serious questions about human adaptability for a rapidly changing future.

We discuss...

  • Frustrations around AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and DeepSeek, especially when users expect too much without giving clear input.
  • The importance of context and prompting in getting valuable responses from AI.
  • Most people use AI poorly, often giving it vague or vanity prompts without depth.
  • Our industrial-era mindset doesn’t prepare us to use AI effectively, and adaptation is essential.
  • AI can assist with tasks like job postings or report generation, results depend heavily on user input.
  • AI disruption will be massive, though adoption will happen gradually over time.
  • The first wave of job losses will hit those who don’t learn how to use AI tools.
  • Identity—such as being a provider, parent, or worker—could be threatened by AI taking over meaningful roles.
  • Ego and confirmation bias could limit AI’s effectiveness as a truth-telling tool.
  • While AI can process inputs and generate useful outputs, it still requires thoughtful human analysis.
  • The U.S. housing market has shown nearly 500,000 more sellers than buyers — the largest gap on record.
  • Credit conditions has deteriorated — 2.3 million borrowers have dropped into subprime credit territory
  • Student loan delinquencies have spiked sharply since collections resumed in May.
  • Nearly $100 million has been collected by Treasury and the Department of Education from defaulted borrowers.
  • Average rent prices have declined, yet overall consumer stress has risen due to financial pressure.
  • Housing prices remained elevated, but affordability has deteriorated, putting pressure on cash-strapped households.
  • Mortgage availability remains key to housing demand, as the majority of buyers rely on loans, not cash.
  • Google search trends reveal more people are asking AI and search engines basic “adulting” questions, like how to use a mop or credit card.
