Sometimes the most dangerous answers aren’t the loudest—they’re the most confidently wrong.
In this episode, we unpack a critical challenge in using AI: the illusion of authority. GPT may sound polished and professional, but that doesn’t make it accurate. When tone replaces truth, even savvy users can be misled.
You’ll learn:
Why GPT sounds so convincing even when it’s wrong
How to recognize and resist the illusion of authority
Simple ways to stay in control as the human-in-the-loop
This episode centers on one essential idea: AI can mimic expertise, but you are the final filter. Stay sharp, stay skeptical, and don’t let eloquence fool you.
