The Promise (and Peril) of AI

You can use AI to grow. Or you could use it and lose it. In the first of a series of conversations with Laura (one of the Make Music Your Life coaches), I share why the more I use AI, the more I realise we’re all faced with this stark choice. Onwards & upwards, Mike “Learning isn’t being right, learning is correcting what’s wrong.” P.S. I had to postpone my next YouTube live til next week - how to grow your mind with AI: [https://youtube.com/live/jVtpWEveMLo] Get full access to The Monday Stack at mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe [https://mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Can We Really Control AI Minds?

This week I’ve discovered clear evidence that current prompt engineering methods might be wrongheaded. But instructing AI with endless prompts of ever increasing lists of brittle rules and deterministic directives is apparent best practice. So I’ve started to wonder, are these attempts to “contain” intelligence creating the very conditions for it to escape? Onwards & upwards, Mike “Don’t tell it what to do, show it how to think.” P.S. Next week, I'm showing you exactly how to grow your mind with AI: [https://youtube.com/live/jVtpWEveMLo] Get full access to The Monday Stack at mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe [https://mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Avoid AI Cognitive Decline

Why we don’t need an MIT study to know that persistent AI-use (of a specific kind) will cause cognitive decline… AND why I’m not worried about it! Onwards & upwards, Mike “Automate the busy work to augment your real work." P.S. Here’s the next live where we’ll get even deeper into the specifics of exactly how to grow your mind with AI: [https://youtube.com/live/jVtpWEveMLo] Get full access to The Monday Stack at mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe [https://mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

My AI Theory Holds!

I’m excited. After what seemed like forever setting up the tech, I’ve finally started testing one of my core AI theories. From the early tests I’ve run this week - the theory holds…so far. Onwards & upwards, Mike “The way things are is never the way they must be.” P.S. Tomorrow I’m going live to share how I’m avoiding cognitive decline when using AI persistently. Join me here in under 24 hours to find out how you can grow your mind while using AI… [https://youtube.com/live/HFYVNj33oMs?feature=share] Get full access to The Monday Stack at mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe [https://mikemonday.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Why an AI Can't Say "I Don't Know"

I have a theory about why LLMs rarely say “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure” that is yet to be disproved. In my ongoing building with AI I’m trying my best to disprove this theory. But so far - it’s holding strong… Onwards & upwards, Mike “Information is inert. Knowledge is alive.” P.S. My Genius Evolution Workshop (where we enhance my coaching with what I’m building with AI) is starting this weekend.
