Episode summary: Everyone's talking about how powerful AI is. But here's what the hype machine skips over: most AI projects never make it into real use. In this episode, we look at why, and what it means for you as a beginner trying to figure out which tools are actually worth your time.

In this episode:

Why over 80% of enterprise AI projects never make it past the demo stage

The difference between AI that impresses and AI that actually works

What "built for a demo" looks like vs. built for real life

The one question that makes you a smarter AI user immediately

Why being a careful, intentional beginner is a genuine advantage right now

Key takeaway: More AI doesn't mean better AI. The tools that change people's lives are specific, tested, and built to solve one real problem really well, not to look good in a meeting.

Your homework this week: Think of one tool or app you already use. Ask yourself: does it work reliably every time, or just most of the time? That question is the beginning of thinking like a smart AI user.

Next episode: Is AI quietly making us worse at our jobs? We look at a surprising study — and what it means for how you use these tools day to day.
