AI Will Make Most Leaders Dumber. Wisdom Is the 3% It Can’t Replace
AI will not make you a better leader. For most people it will make them dumber, by quietly taking over the one thing that made them worth following in the first place.
Dr. Chris McAlister and co-host Mark Stanifer get into the human capacity AI can never replace: phronesis, the hard fought wisdom Aristotle called the chief virtue. A story about an 18 year old, a church in open revolt, and the prompt that would have weaponized him. Why the first move AI hands you is almost always the wrong one. And the one question worth sitting with before you touch the keyboard: are you leading for impact, or for validation?
