They just want a silver bullet. They want, oh, what's the one tool I can use, we can do everything. And I have to constantly pull back and I have to remind them all, AI is like anything else. It's going to be a combination of tools. It's going to be interdisciplinary.

So you're going to need not just an understanding of the AI tools and the skills that are required to use those tools, but you're going to need to know, you're going to need to understand strategy, how business development skills work. You're going to need to know how human resources, the team leadership, all these kind of things.

You're going to need to know all of the soft skills that are always going to be fundamental and important. And then how does these, how does a MIT of your AI toolkit help you in individual instance? And for example, right now I'm working with a human resources consulting company. We don't really know how then what you could do is that you use three, three or four different tools.

You could help the company build its own GPT. feed it with its own policies. You could build a tool for HR professionals that said, here's where all our policies are, here's where all of our templates are.

So instead of reading through 400 pages of documentation, you can use tools to then figure out, identify the policy that they may have to contravene, figure out some of the path forward, and then put together a plan that you as a professional are then bringing to review with your expertise and those interdisciplinary skills, and then present to senior leadership and say, this is what happened.

This is what I think we should do. I need to be the underlying evidence for what I want. And you'll be able to do that in a day. rather than taking two weeks. So there's, I think there's a way forward, but I am constantly surprised by how, how people with limited technology in particular experience and expertise, they, they just want a silver bullet.

They just want what's the one tool that's gonna do everything. Nothing. There's no one tool that's going to do it all. And in fact, if you think they're the case, then you need to go back and we actually need to think about what exactly are you trying to solve? It's a little bit of like maybe sort of expectation resetting.

And then let's start at the beginning with what these tools are and explain to people how they work in concert and not. to build the best thing for you. And all of that's going to have to be tailored, which as you said before, if we're always building tool for everything that's not yet a problem without understanding the symptom, then we're just adding more tools and making more distractions.

I love this idea of human intelligence, Vince, and I'm going to steal it and share it with the rest of the world. Chief Brook, I've always referencing you because I think that is incredibly important and it will always be.
