In this episode of A Dash of Salt, Stacy and Sharon dive into the world of artificial intelligence (AI)—but just a toe dip, not a deep dive! They discuss how AI is becoming part of everyday life, sharing personal experiences of using AI tools for work, creativity, and productivity.

They highlight how AI is integrated into daily life, from brainstorming business ideas to summarizing long articles and even planning trips.

Beyond practical applications, they also discuss the challenges and misconceptions about AI. They touch on topics like ageism in AI adoption, the fear of AI replacing human creativity, and the importance of critical thinking when using AI-generated content. 

The episode wraps up with tips for beginners on how to experiment with AI tools, emphasizing that you don’t need to be a tech expert to get started. 

Sharon then takes us into Salt’s Kitchen, where she explores AI’s role in baking—can AI create a better chocolate chip cookie recipe than a human? (Spoiler: It still can’t beat the personal touch of home baking!)

Key Takeaways:

• AI is becoming a part of daily life in ways many people don’t even realize.
• You don’t need to be an expert to start using AI—just experiment with simple tasks.
• Age isn’t a barrier to AI adoption; curiosity and adaptability matter more.
• AI can be a powerful brainstorming and productivity tool, but critical thinking is essential.
• AI-generated recipes might be decent—but they still don’t match grandma’s cookies!
