S2E15: Using AI to Upgrade Yourself with Don Schmincke

Leadership Voyage

Text Jason @ Leadership Voyage

Don Schmincke has been accused by a NY press agency of providing “the most provocative and sensational view of business than any other speaker today.”

What else would you expect from an MIT and Johns Hopkins researcher who was nearly arrested as a capitalist spy in the Soviet Bloc, got shot off an aircraft carrier, survived in the Kurdish capital as the Ayatollah held hostages in Tehran, and developed missile inertial guidance systems while his frat brothers took Vegas (later portrayed in the movie “21”)?

Don Schmincke’s irreverent humor and unconventional methods provide audiences such a refreshing change to other status-quo topics that he’s been called the world’s “management renegade.” His patent-pending offerings transcend typical programs via refreshing alternatives to trendy theories, unproven methods, and phony “experts.” The industry agrees.
Don's latest book "Unleash Your Potential" is available on Amazon here.

==========
Artificial Intelligence

• why hadn’t we asked “artificial intelligence how to humanize us?”
• latest book was a humorous experiment
• ChatGPT came up with title and defined the chapters
• it took ChatGPT 30-40 minutes to write the book
• ChatGPT is “still an infant” but could see us and tell us how to improve ourselves
  

AI's view on improving ourselves

• the answers were primarily a representation of what's been written, such as understand yourself, build goals, and build habits
• but it added two interesting ideas: improve your mental health and build strong relationships

How to use AI

• use it as a tool for speed
• it’s not too different from when the calculator was invented
• gather information efficiently as a research source
• but it’s not infallible and makes mistakes

Don't abdicate your thinking

• it doesn’t provide insights
• it’s an efficient algorithm
• humans provide insight on what they see or how they ask
• the danger comes when we allow AI to be autonomous with other machines

Have fun with it!

• experiment
• people use it for things like constructing workout programs
• don’t be afraid of it
• it’s still learning as well
