Are You Using Actual Intelligence

I'm feeling a little spicy today, so let me ask you something: Is AI making you smarter or is it distracting you from what actually matters? Here's what I'm seeing with my clients right now. Business owners are losing money because they're outsourcing their decision-making to AI. People are trying to solve life problems at 3am by chatting with algorithms trained on data from people they'd never take advice from in real life. AI is an incredibly powerful tool, but we're at a critical moment where we need to pay attention to our attention. Today, we're talking about using what I call actual intelligence: yours. Featured Story Yesterday was chilly here in Daytona Beach, so my wife and I stayed inside with the fireplace on. We decided to wait until evening to watch the Landman finale, like it was 1978 and we were waiting for it to actually air on TV. But throughout the day, I'm scrolling Facebook and seeing all this wild stuff about the episode. Massive violence, shocking wedding scenes, cast members freaking out. I couldn't wait to see this massacre. We finally watch it, and it was nothing like that. Pretty good show, but completely different from what the online buzz promised. That's when it hit me: this wasn't manipulative people writing clickbait. It was AI making stuff up in real time, getting clicks and scrolls. We're living in a moment where you can't trust anything anymore. Important Points Whatever gets your attention gets your focus, and whatever you focus on is exactly what you get in your life. AI gives you the answers you want to hear based on what you've told it before, not necessarily what you need. Business owners are struggling to get leads because people don't trust anything in this AI-saturated world. Memorable Quotes "AI is like having 10 million PhDs working for you for the cost of a couple of bucks at Starbucks coffee." "The people you'd never take advice from in real life are making you dumber at 3am through AI chat sessions." "We're way beyond information overload now. You need adequate information and your own actual intelligence." Scott's Three-Step Approach Pay attention to where your attention is going and recognize when AI is taking you off track from your goals. Use AI as a tool for specific tasks and resources, not as the ultimate decision-maker for your business or life. Trust yourself first, gather adequate information like the Stoics taught, and stay focused on what drives you.
