Everyone is racing to build “smarter” AI. But what if that’s no longer the point? In this episode, we break down why saving you hours matters more than sounding clever and why this shift changes everything for AI, SaaS, and your job in 2026.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why investor Gavin Baker says AI intelligence is hitting diminishing returns
  • The 3 things that actually make AI useful: memory, reliability, and long tasks
  • GPT-5.2’s biggest safety upgrades and why deception dropping to 1.6% matters
  • AI agents replacing chatbots and becoming your real digital coworker
  • What happens to SaaS companies when “context” becomes the real moat

Keywords: GPT-5.2, AI agents, Gavin Baker, useful AI, OpenAI, AI safety, SaaS disruption, AI trends 2026
