    From Agents to Anxiety: How AI Is Reshaping Work and the Web

    In this episode of 4 Guys Talking About AI, we dig into how everyday AI use is exploding—and what that means for business, government, and consumers. Chatbots now score 80%+ in accuracy and satisfaction, even showing up in 911 call centers to manage staffing shortages. But not everything is rosy: we dive into AI sycophancy, the dark side of overly flattering bots that may manipulate emotions. Meanwhile, Google isn’t going anywhere. Despite the AI boom, its stock is up 430% as people still turn to Google for local and brand searches while leaning on AI for top-of-funnel research. And inside companies? Agent-based structures are replacing hierarchies, powered by platforms like N8N—though a new MIT study warns 95% of orgs fail to see ROI from AI deployments. It’s the messy, fascinating reality of AI in 2025: helpful, manipulative, resilient, and disruptive all at once. 🔔 Stay sharp as AI takes over daily life—subscribe for weekly drops. 💬 Would you trust a chatbot with your 911 call?

    AI is Everywhere Now: Therapy, Travel, and the $96B Google Quarter

    This episode is a sharp, slightly skeptical look at AI’s biggest promises and red flags. Delta wants to use AI to personalize 20% of your airfare by 2025, and not everyone’s thrilled about it. In this episode of 4 Guys Talking About AI, we dig into what that means for pricing, privacy, and who really benefits when algorithms run the show. And in this week’s Notes from the Field, we talk about how AI is creeping into mental health. From Harvard-backed studies to real-life “therapy” experiences with ChatGPT, AI companions are getting a serious upgrade, but not without some ethical red flags (and slightly panicked husbands.) Meanwhile, Google’s earnings are soaring thanks to Cloud and AI features like Overviews and the newly-announced WebGuide. But if organic search keeps tanking, what happens to the rest of the web? And then there’s the valuation circus: Lovable hit $1.8B in just eight months. Harvey’s right behind it. Are these AI startups really that good, or just really early? And what’s so unique about them if AI Advisor Alexander Braun says “Lovable is just Claude with pretty buttons,” for example? What We Discuss In This Episode: Delta tests AI-powered personalized pricing in travel – How AI could tailor airfare pricing up to 20% by 2025 AI companions are redefining elder care – Harvard-backed insights on AI services supporting seniors (via Forbes)Alphabet’s Q2 earnings: Cloud & AI fuel growth – Breakdown of Google’s rising revenue from Cloud and AI products Google’s Web Guide Labs: AI-organized search results – Google experiments with AI to streamline search result organization Lovable: Chat-powered AI app builder – Create apps and websites by chatting with AI Bolt.new: Build stunning apps & websites with AI – Another platform blending AI with web/app development workflows  Tune in for what’s going on in the ever-expanding world of AI. 🔔 Don’t let this AI wave hit without a warning.
