AI Isn't The Enemy. Making It Work For You
Description
Laura and Becky dive into the real-world, everyday impact of AI. From business tools to travel planning, to brainstorming and offloading, Becky shares how she’s been using AI as a practical, supportive extension of her brain.
Together they explore:- Why avoiding AI is no longer realistic- The dangers and misconceptions around AI use- How AI can help you work smarter, not harder- The exact ways Becky uses AI for research, creativity, idea-expansion and even emotional processing- When NOT to use AI - How to maintain your voice and authenticity when using AI tools
This is an honest conversation about how AI is already part of daily life, and how to make it work with you, not replace you.
Key Takeaways:
You’re already using AI - from virtual assistants to robot hoovers. So instead of ignoring it, learn to use it in ways that actually support you.
AI isn’t inherently dangerous - vulnerable humans can be manipulated anywhere (chatrooms, forums, the internet). The tool isn’t the root issue.
Use AI to do the legwork - research competitors, spark ideas, discover new angles, or explore what you could be known for.
AI can help you zoom out - offering fresh perspectives on your business identity, niche, or direction.
Stay in control - AI should never replace your voice. It should sound like you and talk to your audience.
AI is brilliant for life admin - creating outfits from your wardrobe, suggesting meals from your fridge contents, planning holidays, finding restaurants and more!
Don’t be lazy with it - using AI badly will make you sound robotic and alienate your audience.
“You’re already using AI every day, so why not use it for things that actually help you?”
“AI will give you back what you’re feeding it. The real question is why someone is asking certain things in the first place.”
“Sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes… and AI can give you that without the price tag of a marketing consultant.”
