    PN 003 — A Question, Dubai, and a Birthday Message

    AI-generated voices. Human judgment. Pie’s voice is generated from her own recordings; the AI co-host uses an AI-generated synthetic voice. Every episode is shaped and approved by Pie — the human behind AI with Pie. “Could you see yourself living in Dubai?” I asked that question in early 2024. In this Personal Note, I share how it led to conversations about possibilities in Dubai, and how I came here for a project myself in 2025. Young women on stage at WETEX and a question at AI Next get me thinking about how my work with AI is changing: dividing tasks among agents, checking answers that disagree, and asking questions that help me think further. Different perspectives can lead to new questions. Several agents can also make the same mistake. What skill is becoming more important to you as you work with AI? And today, November first, I’m sending a special birthday message from Dubai to my Mama: Thank you for making so much possible for us. Happy Birthday, Mama! AI with Pie. Useful. Awkward. Fun.

    EP 010 — AI Keeps Getting Better. Is My Judgment Keeping Up?

    Content note: This episode briefly mentions suicide in connection with AI conversations. No methods or detailed circumstances are described. Why this matters to Pie: “I’m excited about what AI makes possible. That’s precisely why I care about discussing its risks, especially when people turn to it in emotionally difficult moments. Through my training sessions and this podcast, I want to help us make the most of AI while recognizing when validation can narrow our judgment and when human support is needed.” AI-generated voices. Human judgment. Pie’s voice is generated from her own recordings with her consent; the AI co-host uses an AI-generated synthetic voice. Every episode is shaped and approved by Pie—the human behind AI with Pie. AI keeps getting better. How do we keep our judgment sharp when an answer feels reassuring? A question Pie asked at AI Next in Dubai leads into a fictional example about canceled appointments, assumptions, and boundaries. We distinguish acknowledging a feeling from endorsing an interpretation, examine research on excessive agreement, and offer three concrete ways to make the exchange more useful.

Every episode is shaped and approved by Pie—the human behind AI with Pie. An objection can expose the gap between what we have observed and what we have claimed.

    EP 007 — AI Sounds Brilliant. But Does It Land?

    AI-generated voices. Human judgment. Pie’s voice is generated from her own recordings with her consent; the AI co-host uses an AI-generated synthetic voice. Every episode is shaped and approved by Pie—the human behind AI with Pie. A draft can change more than the wording. It can reveal that you need a different result. Pie and her AI co-host explore how an article accompanying the podcast became an editorial essay in its own right. Pie brings experience, direction, and editorial judgment; AI contributes proposals, structures, and alternatives. Three questions for your next draft: Who is this for? What does that person need to follow it? What should they know or be able to decide afterward? Editorial independence: Products mentioned are examples from Pie’s own work, not a request to buy. Pie pays for the use of ChatGPT and Codex described here and receives no compensation or other benefit for these mentions. Depending on their capabilities and limitations, other AI systems can also be used to explore these approaches. https://aiwithpie.com The show cover includes AI-generated imagery, art-directed and approved by Pie.

    EP 006 — When Good Instructions Disagree

    AI-generated voices. Human judgment. Pie’s voice is generated from her own recordings with her consent; the AI co-host uses an AI-generated synthetic voice. Every episode is shaped and approved by Pie—the human behind AI with Pie. What if the problem isn’t missing information, but two reasonable instructions that cannot both be followed? Pie and her AI co-host explore the difference between adding context and making a decision. A real priority decision while building AI with Pie leads into an imagined report due on Friday—with figures that won’t be approved until Monday. Together, they consider three questions: Can the system do the work? Does it have the relevant information? Can the instructions fit together? These are useful distinctions, not a universal method or a guarantee of correct results. Three things to take into the next piece of work:- Put the competing instructions next to each other.- Make the choice explicit: what proceeds, what waits, and what no longer applies?- Check the next proposed action against that decision. What are we still doing because it used to make sense? Visit https://aiwithpie.com and follow AI with Pie wherever you listen to podcasts.
