    GPT-5 Sucks! (No It Doesn't.) Here Are 4 Ways to Get Your Bestie Back Without Paying More

    If you've been wondering why ChatGPT suddenly feels like a boring robot instead of your enthusiastic business bestie, you're not alone. OpenAI overcorrected with GPT-5, dialing back the personality that so many of us relied on. The good news? You don't need to pay $200 a month to get your supportive AI assistant back. This mini episode breaks down what changed, why it happened, and most importantly, how to reclaim that chatty, encouraging tone that actually helps you get stuff done. Key Points From This Episode: • Switch back to GPT-4.0 — Use the model selector in the top menu to choose the legacy model instead of defaulting to GPT-5.0 • Customize your personality settings — Go into settings > customize ChatGPT and select from cheerful and adaptive, thoughtful and supportive, or create your own custom vibe • Clean up your memories — Review what ChatGPT remembers about you and your business, deleting outdated info to keep responses relevant • Try conversation branching — Hover over any response and click "branch into new chat" to explore different ideas without losing your original conversation thread • Use instant vs. thinking modes — Speed up responses with instant mode or get deeper analysis with thinking mode The reality is that Sam Altman himself admitted this rollout was bumpy and that they underestimated how attached people were to ChatGPT's supportive personality. While they're promising to let some users stick with GPT-4.0 for the foreseeable future, these customization tricks will help you get the best of both worlds. Don't pay extra for personality when you can get it back with a few simple settings changes. Your AI assistant should work for you, not against you.

    From Custom GPTs to Agentic AI: The Systems That Will Define the Next Wave (Replay: My Deep Dive with Emanuel Rose)

    This week I'm sharing a replay from my appearance on Emanuel Rose's "Marketing in the Age of AI" podcast - and this conversation goes places most AI discussions don't. While everyone else is still figuring out basic prompting, Emanuel and I dove deep into the practical systems that are actually moving the needle for businesses right now. Emanuel is a marketing strategist who gets something most people miss: AI isn't just about the tools, it's about building strategic systems that know your business inside and out. In this conversation, we get into the real implementation details that matter - not just theory, but the actual workflows I use daily in my agency. Here's what we covered that every woman entrepreneur building systems needs to understand: How I think of AI training like onboarding a new employee (and why this mindset shift changes everything about your results) The difference between custom GPTs as "employee handbooks" versus "knowledge bases" - and how to structure both for maximum impact My brand explorer to brand blueprint process that creates AI systems that actually sound like you Why projects and folders in ChatGPT are absolute game changers for maintaining institutional knowledge The email automation tool (Fyxer AI) that's saving me literal hours every week by learning my voice and pre-drafting responses What agentic AI really means and why we're just at the beginning of what's possible The part of this conversation that gets me most fired up is when we talk about the future of agentic AI - agents that don't just respond to prompts but actually take action on your behalf. We're talking about AI that can take your long-form content, chop it up strategically, and distribute it across platforms while maintaining your brand voice and understanding your audience's needs. This is the level of thinking that separates women who are playing with AI from women who are building AI-powered empires. Emanuel asked the right questions to pull out the strategic details that matter, and I knew this conversation belonged in the AI Queens archive. If you're ready to stop treating AI like a magic eight ball and start building systems that actually scale your business, this replay will show you exactly how the professionals are thinking about implementation right now. Connect with Emanuel Rose:Emanuel's Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@MarketingintheAgeofAI-ec6fx/videos His website and books: https://emanuelrose.com/ Emanuel brings together incredible experts who are actually implementing these tools in the real world, not just talking theory.

    The Gender Gap in AI That's Costing Women Their Competitive Edge (Replay: My Real Talk with Lisa Demmi)

    Sometimes the most important conversations happen when we're just being completely honest about where we are with AI. This week, I'm sharing a replay from when I appeared on Lisa Demmi's podcast "That's What I'm Talking About" - and this conversation hits different because Lisa asked the questions so many of you have been thinking but haven't asked yet. Lisa reached out after discovering AI Queens because she was experiencing exactly what most of you tell me: AI responses that felt generic, frustration with prompting, and that nagging feeling that everyone else was getting better results. What makes this conversation special is Lisa's refreshing honesty about her AI frustrations and her willingness to dig into the hard truths about women and technology adoption. Here's what we covered that every woman entrepreneur needs to hear: The shocking statistics about the gender gap in AI adoption (spoiler: when given equal access to AI tools, the biggest differentiator between who uses AI and who doesn't is gender - and it's not in our favor) My CROWN method for prompting that transforms generic responses into gold Why treating ChatGPT like an enthusiastic but green intern changes everything about your results The uncomfortable truth about AI replacing jobs - and why women are most at risk How custom GPTs and projects can save you from starting over with context every single time Why the "chat" part of ChatGPT is the game-changer most people completely ignore The insights from this conversation are exactly why I knew it belonged in the AI Queens archive. Lisa's questions were so spot-on, and her journey from AI skeptic to someone who's now using it to build her nonprofit shows exactly what's possible when women get curious instead of intimidated. If you've ever felt like you're behind on AI, or if you've been getting mediocre results and wondering what you're doing wrong, this replay is for you. It's time to stop sitting on the sidelines while others scale ahead. Ready to go deeper? Check out Lisa's podcast "That's What I'm Talking About" at https://imtalkingabout.podbean.com/ and connect with Lisa at https://lisademmi.com/. Lisa brings the same refreshing honesty and curiosity to every conversation, and if you're looking for a speaker who delivers real talk and practical strategies, she's exactly what your team needs.

    $6,000 in AI Failures - The Most Honest Season Finale Ever

    Most business podcasts end their season with highlight reels and success stories. But that's not how we roll at AI Queens. Instead, Erika is sharing her most expensive AI failures: over $6,000 in combined costs and countless hours that could have been spent making money instead of chasing shiny AI objects like a squirrel with a credit card. Key Failures Covered: The $500/month tool addiction - How FOMO led to subscribing to multiple AI tools that did the exact same thing, including an AI tool for organizing other AI tools The strategic storytelling bot disaster - $2,300 in billable time trying to create a "one-size-fits-all" bot that ended up sitting unfinished in ChatGPT The great proposal disaster - Trusting AI output without thorough review and having to backpedal in front of a client The image generation time sink - Two-hour rabbit holes trying to get the perfect AI-generated image, complete with six-fingered hands and floating torsos These weren't just expensive mistakes. They were the most valuable market research Erika has ever done. Each failure taught lessons about focus, customization, strategy, and setting boundaries that no success story could provide. Credibility doesn't come from a perfect track record. It comes from scars, stories, and the wisdom that only comes from being in the trenches. Now when clients ask about specific tools, Erika doesn't just know the marketing promises, she knows the real-world limitations. Want to avoid these expensive mistakes?
