Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying: The AI Wake-Up Call!

Artificial intelligence is turning the world of IPO prospectuses upside down, with Goldman Sachs' CEO David Solomon revealing that AI can now whip up 95% of these complex documents in mere minutes! Can you believe it? Just a year ago, it took a whole squad of six Ivy League grads two weeks to get it done. But here's the kicker: Solomon warns that the last 5% of the process is what really counts now, making everything else feel like a commodity. Yikes! This got me thinking about our place in this fast-evolving landscape. As we dive deeper into this episode, we'll explore what it means for us—yes, you and me—as we face this AI revolution. So grab your headphones and let’s chat about how we can adapt, because as Stephen King said, “Get busy living or get busy dying!” What do you think?
