Who’s Actually Doing The Thinking In Your Business?
Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff discuss a Fast Company article that asks whether “AI psychosis” is affecting business leaders and draws on a psychiatrist’s experience with a dozen hospitalized patients. They question the comparison, explore how pressure to embrace AI can affect business decisions, and explain why faster answers don’t replace your own judgment.
Show Notes:
The Fast Company article makes a big leap from 12 patients’ experiences to claims about millions of business leaders.
Before accepting a claim, ask who’s being studied, what context is missing, and how key terms are being used.
Creating something new often starts with believing in an idea before there’s proof it will work.
Pressure to appear up to date can lead companies to exaggerate how much they’re using AI.
For some people, joining the AI conversation is more about fitting in than using the technology, or a fear of missing out.
An answer from AI shouldn’t go unquestioned just because it sounds confident.
Good research means asking strategic questions, checking sources, and not stopping as soon as you receive the answer you want to hear.
AI can help you work faster, but you’re still responsible for checking what you put out into the world.
