How often do you actually use AI? Daily, weekly, or still figuring it out? πŸ‘‡

Prompt skills is such overused word these days. In other words it means to understand to some extent what you are prompting. And after coming up with a good prompt you suddenly realize that you solved the problem yourself, and AI only needs to do the routine

your audience is 25-40, but I'm plus 50! Non tech entrepreneur on my second career. Might be more of us out there, so check in with those assumptions 😊

You talk as if people over 40 aren't interested or active in learning and using AI. You miss an important demographic. AI has given so much power to those of us who for years had great ideas and a desire for entrepreneurship but lacked the computer or engineering skills to act on these ideas. Now we are empowered in a way never before imagined. And, we have what many people under 40 don't have: life experience, wisdom, grit, and well-honed leadership skills. I have been using AI daily for a year now and keep growing.

The number of commercials on here is nuts. So many other better podcasts without these constant interruptions.
