everybody my name is Kyle Shannon and this is a a special live stream so I've been thinking a lot as you can imagine I spent a lot of time
1:07
talking about Ai and as AI gets more and more capable one of the things I'm experiencing is an intensification of fear and anger Fear
1:22
and Loathing Fear and Loathing of AI you know like uh like uh like this this Fear and Loathing of AI it is weird it's scary
1:40
and I've I've I think I've cracked a code I think I think I've cracked something here and so I'm really excited
1:47
about it so if you're here feel free to leave comments I can see your comments um and and I'll I I'll be free to
1:55
address them but I really just want to record this thing so um okay here we go let me jump in and um and just walk you
2:04
through what I've come up with here okay so let's start with you you as an individual here's you you
2:18
exist um and I'm gonna take relationships out of this for a moment I'm just gonna I'm just going to talk
2:25
about you as an individual and and you know kind of what makes you up what makes you tick and I'm going to dramatically
2:33
simplify it there's going to be two components of you so just go with me here the first component of you is your
2:42
self-expression like what drives you what what makes you happy what's your what's in your soul that you want to get
2:48
out in the world right the other half of you is the half of you that generates Prosperity the work things like that if
2:58
you're an incredibly lucky human those two things come together and you get to do them at the same time most people
3:05
that's not the case right you have your day job why do they call it a day job because at night you go do the things
3:11
that make you happy right um I think we all strive you know toward this right we all have dreams we want to be a singer
3:19
we want to be a dancer we want to be a pizza shop owner whatever it may be we may strive to have this all be the same
3:25
thing but the human condition is you know these are often split but but these are very very important components of
3:34
who we are right and Along Comes This Thing Called Ai and it's been around for decades but all of a sudden in the past
3:44
two or three years people are talking about it more chat GPT comes along and all of a sudden it it seems much easier
3:52
to use and over the next two years so chat GPT came out in the end of November in 2022 just passed the end of November in 2024
4:02
so it's it's been around for about two years it is getting dramatically better the the amount of progress over those
4:09
two years has been quite dramatic and the capability of these tools in the next three to six months uh is just
4:19
going to get scary good scary good and so if you're sitting on the on the sidelines with this stuff uh one of the
4:27
things that we see a lot lot or that I see a lot is this fear bang that AI as it gets better as it can do creative
4:38
work that it's going to replace your creative work and it's going to replace your creative self-expression it's going
4:44
to make you less expressive uh you know less less capable less creative because it does all the creative work that's one
4:52
of the fears one of the other fears is it's going to take my job it's going to take all of our jobs right it's this
4:57
very binary thing AI bad going to destroy me it's existential and I'm laughing not because I think it's funny
5:05
but because I think it's it's a it's a it's a very real feeling from the outside and so I want to help
5:15
reframe how to think about you and your relationship with AI so let's go back to this idea of this very simplified version of self again
5:27
not not involving relationships here this is just very selfish so your self-expression in its purest form is
5:34
what's the stuff that makes you happy what's the stuff that like get you going right a layer removed from you is the
5:42
what you actually do part what you actually produce oops that's in the wrong order oh wait hang on I messed up let's see I went the wrong
5:58
direction I've never done done this before I just came up with this just outside of of of you a step removed from
6:05
you is the thing you produce when you're being creative right if you're a painter you paint if you're a musician you make
6:13
songs if you're an entrepreneur you start a business if you love to Garden you Garden right there's the creative
6:20
product there's the there's the what you put your energy into to produce something to express yourself is not you
6:28
it's it's a step remove from you it's very very important but it's a step removed beyond that oops is creative
6:37
process right so this is uh maybe it's ideation maybe it's thinking about things maybe it's going to the Michaels
6:45
store to pick up acrylic paints and canvases right creative process is is the prepping getting ready to make the
6:53
thing right which is inspired by the who you are and what you want to self-express so the there's these layers
6:59
right beyond what we can do similarly on the prosperity side there's the business product right that's the you know I've
7:07
started a business and I'm making sales and I'm you know maybe I've created a creative product that I'm selling so I'm
7:14
I'm I'm out there doing sales of that product or I'm putting together any Ecommerce store and then outside of that
7:20
is business process right and business process is I'm sending emails I'm following up I'm going to Staples to
7:27
pick up the paper because the printers out of paper and I get home and I put the paper in the printer and I ran out
7:34
of ink and now I got to go back and right all that stuff and that's removed from you as well and so one of the things that I see
7:43
very very consistently is people that might be very very angry about AI or threatened by AI say things
7:53
like like you know I will never use it for creativity I'm like well you know do you ever use it to help write an email
7:59
oh yeah I use it for that all the time right so I think one of the things that we do as humans is we compartmentalize where the threats in
8:07
our life are right so if something's super important to us we don't want AI to threaten that but there's other areas
8:14
where you can use it and so that's that's kind of where I I come into this so so we're now in this world where where we have this AI thing
8:22
right and if you're not using it at all and if you're completely terrified and freaked out and you don't know where to start and
8:31
and all you know is you don't want it to destroy you here's the reframe start outside of even all of this stuff
8:44
start by just playing with AI just play with AI like don't use it for anything just go play go make pictures go make
8:53
songs go make words go make poems go make pizza recipes doesn't flip and matter at all and then you can choose where you start to apply what
9:05
you're learning as you sort of work closer to who you are some creative people I know they draw a hard Line This
9:13
horizontal line is a hard line they're like I'll use it for business I'll never use it for Creative I totally respect
9:20
that other people are like well I'll use it for process but you know I don't ever want to use it to produce the work other
9:27
people go in a little bit further so as you start to play with all these toolss play with them knowing that
9:34
you're not going to invade what whatever you have defined as your Sacred Space the thing where you know your value is for me
9:44
personally I look at technology as a form of self-expression and as a potential you know um Avenue for
9:52
Prosperity so in my case I'm trying to figure out how to go from play you know all the way to the inside here because I
9:59
find that tremendously exciting you may not and that's totally cool but if you just think that AI is going to replace you you lose all this
10:10
opportunity to move from play which can be really fun and exciting and inspiring to making things in your life easier
10:17
that right now are currently hard all right so that's the reframe um I see there's some people in here I'll take
10:23
some comments if anyone wants to to uh to chat but I'm curious what your thoughts are thanks I just got got
10:29
access Sora is open for signups good cool all right beautiful um I am let me throw this up there let me go to
10:44
here um so I'm gonna go home now I just wanted to get this out I wanted to get this recorded because one of the nice
10:50
things about streaming live is this gets recorded So This is now sitting on YouTube uh so so you can go play with
10:56
this um 8 o'clock tonight o'l mountain time um I'll be back here live um I'll probably go over this again I don't know
11:04
I just wanted to capture this as a standalone thing but anyway hope you enjoyed that uh I'm gonna take off and
11:12
uh and yeah we're gonna do that um okay I don't know what that one is Brandon so I'll do that tonight all right beautiful
11:20
peace out everybody I hope that helped here let me go back to this thing um where is it there you go let me get rid
11:35
of that all right I am out of here and I will see you tonight what did you miss hey uh I completely reframed how someone can
11:47
think about AI in their life but you're fine you're already ahead of everything all right peace out everybody
Description
If AI terrifies you and makes you angry and you just want it to go away, hopefully this reframing may help.
