AI
AI is reshaping how we build, create, and think — the question isn't whether to use it, but how to stay human while you do.
What Is AI?
AI is the most powerful tool in a generation — and the most misunderstood. Nic's approach is practical: AI augments human creativity, it doesn't replace it. The MIT cognitive bankruptcy study showed that teams who outsource all thinking to AI lose their edge.
