Who am I to argue?
A senior director just handed her go-to-market strategy to a chatbot. Didn't push back once. When Karl asked why, she said seven words that should worry every leader using AI right now: "Who am I to argue with it?" That's the real crisis. Not hallucinations. Not job loss. Deference. Smart, experienced people outsourcing their judgment because the model sounds more confident than they feel. This episode makes the case that deference is the single biggest threat to value creation in enterprise AI — and it's already inside your org. You'll walk away with: - Why confident-sounding output is a feature of how these models are trained, not evidence they're correct - The "argument rule" — a one-line process change that measurably improves AI output quality without slowing anyone down - The inversion drill: how to get the model to critique its own work before you ship anything that matters Your judgment is the asset. The model is the variable. Don't let that flip. New episodes weekly. Subscribe wherever you listen.
