Transcripts

Speaker A:

Welcome back to my journey with Start with AI and day three.

Speaker A:

Mind blowing and terrifying in equal measures.

Speaker A:

AI isn't just changing business, it's changing humanity.

Speaker A:

Take a deep breath.

Speaker A:

I'm not sure if I should be more excited or terrified.

Speaker A:

There's this, this comparison going on, this parallel thing happening.

Speaker A:

And it's about that awareness when we're using AI that'll help us move through.

Speaker A:

So I spent today trying to wrap my head around where this is all heading.

Speaker A:

And honestly, it is mind blowing.

Speaker A:

We're talking about AI that can understand context, emotion, even help people through therapeutic processes.

Speaker A:

And that's where I really look at my introvert brain kicked in with all the questions, all the doubts, can I actually do this?

Speaker A:

Do I know enough?

Speaker A:

Maybe this is too big for me, this goal that I have.

Speaker A:

And I caught myself spiraling and had to literally say out loud, breathe, take a step back, calm down, get a copper.

Speaker A:

Because here's the thing.

Speaker A:

I keep seeing all of these promises about a earning 10k a day with AI and that's not it what it's about for me, it's about the mental health crisis.

Speaker A:

The mental health crisis is very real and increasing.

Speaker A:

People are struggling more than ever.

Speaker A:

And if AI can help us reach more people and support more transformation, then that's where my heart, my purpose is.

Speaker A:

I'm not here to, to get rich quick.

Speaker A:

I'm here because I believe that transformational practitioners, NLPers, coaches, hypnotherapists, energy healers have something unique to offer in this AI revolution.

Speaker A:

So today's lesson is it's okay to feel small when facing something that is so, so much bigger.

Speaker A:

But remember that every starfish you throw back into the ocean matters.

Speaker A:

So every one person we can help with this technology where they may not be able to get help elsewhere, every person counts.

Speaker A:

Even if we only influence AI's development by 10% towards more conscious, compassionate applications and learning, that counts.

Speaker A:

We, we don't need to change the whole world, just our corner of it.

Speaker A:

So what's driving your AI interest?

Speaker A:

Is it the technology?

Speaker A:

Is it the money that you can potentially make?

Speaker A:

Or is it potential to help more people?

Speaker A:

Or is it something else?

Speaker A:

Share below I'd love to know I'm not the only one who's feeling both excited and overwhelmed by what AI can offer.

Speaker A:

I'll see you again tomorrow.

Speaker A:

Thanks for watching.
