The secret to smarter AI? Make it disagree with you

** Book in for Inventium’s GenAI Productivity Upgrade here: https://inventium.com.au/genai-cohort/ **

Most people use AI like a polite assistant: “do this, write that, draft this.” The problem? It rarely pushes back or challenges your thinking - leaving your blind spots intact.

In this episode, Inventium’s AI expert Neo Aplin joins me to share how to flip the script and use AI as a creative collaborator. You’ll learn:

• Why AI naturally behaves like a sycophantic assistant - and how to change that
• How to use prompts to make AI act as a devil’s advocate
• Ways to test how your ideas or presentations will land with different audiences
• How to use AI for “jobs to be done” brainstorming and innovation
• Why using AI for perspective-shifting is better than not testing your ideas at all

If you want AI to make you smarter (not just faster) this episode will show you how.
