Let's get into all our feels about AI. 🌀 In this episode, I share some of the messages I've gotten from people who are using AI but feeling bad about it. And I talk through three reasons I think many of us (especially listeners of this show) feel so much tension about these technologies. Tune in for a lot of empathy and even more clarity.
