Excellent piece. There are a lot of business owners who do not run technology businesses and we never needed to learn code. There are a lot of writers who have done well without AI when it comes to earning a living and connecting with readers. I like your experiment approach because you are going right to the big reason AI is not a big deal. Why does this make sense for me or my customers? Who is paying me to leave my core business and take on a massive learning effort? For what outcome?

its good writing (that every usually does) but the article is too basic .. a generic advice on starting with anything new .. nothing new you’ll learn about ai really .. also, way too much forced selling / promoting / referring every, its people, and its products ..

Your colleague, Mike Taylor, has done some really interesting research on how AI responds to emotional prompts. It would be a good read for anyone here who picked up on your point above. https://every.to/also-true-for-humans/mon-6-24?sid=56660

Do you have any recommendations for instilling AI adoption at organisations? As you said, it is hard enough to get yourself to change something, so how do you get others to change their habits?
Nice piece, very relatable!
