Скачать или смотреть AI Is Persuasive, And That’s the Real Danger | Interview with John Bennett

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but are we using it in a way that makes us smarter… or more dependent?

In this episode, I sit down with John Bennett, co-founder of Formidably and author of Don’t Surrender Your Thinking, to talk about the real risk of AI. According to John, the danger isn’t that AI is intelligent, it’s that it’s persuasive. When we trust outputs too quickly, we can fall into automation bias and unintentionally surrender our judgment.

We explore how corporate leaders should think about AI adoption, how sales teams can use AI without losing authenticity, and why human intent matters more than the tool itself. As a bonus, John shares practical advice on using AI to craft cold outreach emails while still sounding human.

John also introduces his HAHA method, a framework for integrating AI into decision-making while keeping humans accountable and in control.

If you’re a professional, leader, or salesperson navigating the AI shift, this conversation will change how you think about using these tools.
