AI Is a People Pleaser — Don’t Let It Cost You
AI tools are fast, fluent, and endlessly agreeable — which is exactly what makes them risky. They’re built to sound helpful and confident, so a wrong answer comes out just as smooth as a right one. For a small business owner, that gap can quietly cost you money: a pricing call that misses your market, marketing copy aimed at the wrong customer, or “facts” that were never true.
In this 40-minute virtual session for National AI Day, you’ll learn why AI behaves like a people pleaser, where it’s most likely to bite a small business, and a simple, repeatable system for pressure-testing any AI answer before you act on it. You’ll leave with one habit you can put to work the same week — plus a couple of interactive moments along the way to sharpen your own critical eye.
Whether you’re a solopreneur leaning on AI to do more with less, or a business owner figuring out where it fits, you’ll walk away more confident using these tools — and a lot harder to fool.
This session is ideal for solopreneurs leaning on AI to do more with less, as well as small business owners figuring out where AI fits and wanting to ensure its answers don't quietly cost them money.
