Jeff argues AI will enhance rather than replace people by acting as a thought partner for business owners. Using AI interactively surfaces better ideas and lets you produce higher-quality work much faster, changing which skills matter most.
A couple tips you might have for our audience that watches. Let's start with one or two things out of the box. What can you do? Obviously not seen been to one of our events, or potentially you have, but didn't see this session with Jeff. What's a couple things that a business owner can do right away?
So the first thing that I would say is AI will enhance you. It will not replace you, because your job is nothing more than the skills that you apply and the processes that you follow. And I will change what those skills are and what those processes are. But as a result, you should actually be able to do way higher quality work in a fraction of the time.
So it's kind of like having an employee but thinking like you. You can't just drop somebody in and expect them to be amazing.
Well, think of it this way. We talked about this on stage. Your job is to be the thought leader, and AI's job is to be your thought partner. It's not an assistant, it's a thought partner. And kind of like if you've ever stood at a whiteboard with a thought partner, you shared an idea and they went, yeah, and what about this? And all of a sudden, one plus one was equal. That's what happens with AI, and that's what happened in the room when people learned how to use it as a thought partner.
