They discuss their perspectives on the overall perception of AI in society and ways in which they personally use AI tools and agents within their own workflows. Though they feel AI has much potential, the leading takeaway is that it is still in its infancy and should be used in specific ways that may offer inspiration, organization, or a more streamlined efficiency for certain work tasks. Both Casey and Jacob share personal stories of circumstances in which they have witnessed the irresponsible use of AI and caution that relying on it may have unintended consequences.
