We Need to Talk About How You're Using ChatGPT | To the Power of X, Ep. 3

Everyone's using AI. A lot of people are using it to replace thinking instead of speed it up, and they can't always tell the difference.

In this episode, Chuck, Kayleigh, and Jenna get into what it actually looks like when AI stops being a tool and starts being a stand-in for judgment. That includes what AI hallucinations really are (and why the confident tone is the dangerous part), how a language model actually processes a question before answering it, why AI-generated content is getting easier for both people and Google to spot, and where AI is genuinely useful versus where it's quietly making you worse at your job.

If you touch ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini at work in any capacity, this one's for you.
