A 2x2 framework sorts employees by judgment and AI use: dead weight avoid it, slop cannons use it badly and flood the internet with garbage, steady hands skip it and work reliably, turbo brains leverage it and become supercharged. Talent and judgment matter most. AI amplifies what's already there.
So on the very bottom left, you have people who do not use AI and people who do not have good judgment. These, unfortunately, this is dead weight on your company, okay? Now let's say if you have someone who has poor judgment and they use AI, that means they become slop cannons, which means they just add a bunch of gunk and garbage to the internet because they're just lazy in the way that they use it, okay? The bottom right here, you have people who have good judgment, but they don't use AI right now. So these are people, at least for right now in today's day and age, these are steady hands, okay? So these are people that are, you know, they're going to get the job done overall, but they're not enhanced by AI. But if you have someone that has good judgment and they use AI, these are turbo brains. They're supercharged and they get way more done. They're already smart people anyway. Everything comes downstream of talent. We can talk about AI all we want, but if we hire poorly, we're just going to have a bunch of slop cannons on the team.
