In this brief exchange, Matthew Kelly warns about the dangers of AI drift, emphasizing that AI should be used to accelerate work rather than replace human effort. He points out that when teams rely too heavily on AI, they become lazy, leading to misaligned contributions and a loss of essential product knowledge.
