Are You Fighting AI, or Are You Falling Behind?

You are more capable than you give yourself credit for. Seriously.

The fact that you're here, reading this, tells me something about you. You're the kind of person who leans in when others lean out. And right now, that matters more than ever.

Something wild happened recently. Someone took millions of pages of the Epstein files, DOJ documents, court records, flight logs, and dumped them into Google's NotebookLM. The result? A 120+ episode AI-generated podcast that breaks down the facts without opinion, without political spin, without any human agenda.

And people lost their minds.

Not because the content was wrong. Not because the AI made something up. They were furious simply because it was AI.

One-star reviews flooded in. "These are not real hosts." "AI slop." "Do you expect accurate information about rich and powerful men from technology supported by rich and powerful men?" The irony is thick. The podcast description literally tells you it's AI-generated. It never hid that. But people still felt the need to punish it for existing.

Here's what I found fascinating. I actually preferred it.

"This is eye-opening because I trust this more than I trust a person for this material. A person is going to put their own filter, their own lens on how they see this because it's heavy. You're talking about children. You're talking about rich people. You're talking about politicians. People feel a certain way about this."

That's what I said on the latest episode of King Moves, and I meant every word. When you're dealing with material this sensitive, this politically charged, I don't want someone's opinion coloring the facts. I want the data. Let me form my own conclusions.

And that's the real power of AI right now. It removes the filter.

Think about it like this. Traditional journalism cannot process 3 million pages of documents. It's physically impossible for a team of humans to digest that volume with consistency and objectivity. AI can. And it did. In a format that's actually engaging, two hosts with banter, personality, and a conversational flow that, at times, makes you forget they're not real people.

"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.", Albert Einstein

That quote hits different in 2026. Because the people leaving those one-star reviews aren't evaluating the product. They're reacting out of fear.

I get it. AI is showing up in places people didn't expect. It's in manufacturing. It's in transportation, I'm starting to trust Waymo more than an Uber driver, if I'm being honest. It's in content creation. And for some people, that feels like an invasion.

But here's the thing. Fear doesn't stop progress. It just determines whether you're leading it or getting left behind by it.

I've talked about this before, the concept of AI resentment. People who have a gut reaction against anything AI-generated, regardless of quality. Regardless of accuracy. Regardless of value. It's a bias, and it's costing people opportunities.

Now, does that mean AI is perfect? No. Does it mean we should blindly trust everything it produces? Absolutely not. But if you're dismissing an entire tool because of what it is instead of evaluating what it delivers, you're making decisions based on emotion, not logic.

And look, I'm not sitting here on some high horse. I've written books about AI. I teach this stuff. And some days, I still feel like I'm catching up. The technology moves fast. But here's what I've learned: you don't have to master it overnight. You just have to start using it.

If you feel like AI is bullying you, bully the bully.

Go learn it. Play with it. Don't let fear paralyze you into inaction while the world moves forward.

The people who thrive in the next decade won't be the ones who fought against AI. They'll be the ones who figured out how to work alongside it. Who used it to process information faster, make better decisions, and free up their time for the things that actually require a human touch, relationships, creativity, empathy, leadership.

AI isn't going away. It's going to become like oxygen. Like the internet. Like water. We'll just assume it's there, and it won't be a big deal anymore. The question is whether you'll be comfortable with it by then, or still writing one-star reviews from the sidelines.

Your move.
