After the first episode of “Accessible Intelligence,” we dive deeper into how each of us uses AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Lovable, and Notion) for work and life.
We drive towards the question: Is AI overhyped? Here are the questions we answer at the end — what are your thoughts?
If you had to put a percentage on it, how overhyped is AI right now on a scale of 0-100%?
What's one AI tool you've tried that completely failed to live up to its promises?
If you had to choose between losing access to all AI tools or losing access to your smartphone for a month, which would impact your productivity more?
What's one area where you think AI is actually underhyped and deserves more attention?
