Short conversation between TJ Walker and another speaker about AI’s disruptive potential and differing audience readiness. Walker warns that authors, trainers, coaches and consultants may feel existentially threatened by AI ("unemployed and unemployable and bankrupt in a year"). The other speaker cautions that many people remain unfamiliar and fearful of AI, which motivated writing an introductory book and continuing to present AI gently to newcomers.
I think that's going to be just mind popping and that's going to be what's going to make every author, expert trainer, coach, consultant in the world think, oh my God, if I don't get in on this, I'm going to be unemployed and unemployable and bankrupt in a year. Yeah, that's, that's my thinking. But tell me where I'm wrong.
So here is where I over the years of having innovative and, and start things new, I have had to learn that not everyone has my curiosity and enthusiasm. And so that's where sometimes, although I want to just keep going forward with all these new things we have to pull back and say but there are people who have yet to understand what AI is and they're still afraid of it. So first which is why I wrote.
This there old fashioned paper book Gutenberg style technologies. Nothing wrong with first let me using all technologies.
Exactly. Let me start here for those who are comfortable and let's get them to get their feet wet. Now let's move into. Okay, well you know what Google is so let's try asking a question. It's almost like the way that I was explaining ChatGPT to my mom. Right. It's, there's this AI we don't have to be afraid of it. It's going to actually be more effective than the doctor who did not explain your test to you because they've got all the patients in the world, they don't mind how many questions you ask.
