The Knowledge Project · Why Everyone Is Wrong About AI (Including You) | Benedict Evans · 2 Sep 2025 podcast

You know, I have a friend who works at a consultancy and they want pencil sketches of concepts and now they can just use Midjourney to make those.

That's great.

Does that sketch, like, does that person at the back have three legs?

Not anymore, no.

And if they did, it wouldn't matter.

You could Photoshop that out.

I don't do that.

I don't create images.

So I don't have a good mapping of the stuff this is good for early against the stuff that I do.

And the stuff that it maybe would be useful for is the stuff where it's actually not yet very good.

And the things where you would mitigate that by saying, well, I would fix it.

I don't do those things.

I, actually, my chat GPT use case, which is more mental model than a practical thing, is I write something and I think it's such a, what I always would ask in the past is kind of your point about pattern recognition is, I look at something and say, am I adding value here?

Am I saying something useful?

Am I saying something different?

Am I asking the key question?

Am I pushing further?

Am I pushing, am I asking the next question rather than just answering the obvious questions?

Now I can just say, is this what chat GPT would have said?

Yeah.
