Summary
In this episode, Jeff Keltner and Annie Delgado walk through ChatGPT’s boldest claims: the end of the model arms race, the rise of AI “middle managers,” a quiet shift away from explainability toward outcome-based fairness, and a future where AI becomes boring — and therefore truly successful. Along the way, Jeff calls BS on one prediction, Annie argues for a major policy shift the industry isn’t ready for, and together they separate what feels inevitable from what still sounds like wishful thinking. This isn’t about hype or benchmarks — it’s about what will actually hold up inside real workflows, teams, and organizations.
