Using AI the right way will always make you feel worse about using it, says a groundbreaking study.
The guests of episode 326 of the Think Fast Talk Smart podcast conducted this study to figure out the best way to use AI in the workplace. Jeremy Utley is an adjunct professor at the Stanford d.school, who has been on the show before. Kian Gohar is a bestselling author, futurist, and speaker. They are here to share the perfect way to solve problems using AI.
In this episode, Kian and Jeremy talk to Matt Abrahams about:
• The “magic” mindset that you should NEVER USE when it comes to AI
• How discomfort is a sign you’re using AI right
• The F.I.X.I.T. Framework and why it’s the secret to AI collaboration
• Why you should make AI argue with itself
• Why you should not accept the first answer given to you by AI
Kian also shares surprisingly simple, practical tactics for changing how you interface with AI - starting with something as basic as switching from your browser to your phone.
Key Quotes
• "If you want to get world-class results and outperform, you can't approach it like an oracle. You need to instead approach AI like a conversation partner.” - Jeremy Utley (04:16)
• "Words are really conversations that are the seeds of innovation, and how we think about solving big problems. If you don't get the words, we won't be able to actually get to the meaning and connection of what we're trying to solve for." - Kian Gohar (21:30)
