Intro

Let's get into all our feels about AI. 🌀

In this episode, I share some of the messages I've gotten from people who are using AI but feeling bad about it.

And I talk through three reasons I think many of us (especially listeners of this show) feel so much tension about these technologies.

Tune in for a lot of empathy and even more clarity. Then join our community conversation about AI in the Clubhouse!
