Are you being sold a version of AI that doesn't match your reality? Is the promise of hyper-productivity and instant results starting to feel more like hype than truth?
Kathryn pulls back the curtain on her three-plus years of building and experimenting with AI tools, sharing the raw, unfiltered observations that the industry conveniently leaves out. From spending five hours in a brainstorming rabbit hole with Claude and ChatGPT only to walk away with nothing usable, to discovering that creative vision and strategic thinking still can't be outsourced to a large language model, she unpacks the real gap between what's being sold and what's actually happening.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:
● Why the industry's hyper-productivity messaging around AI doesn't reflect the lived experience of most builders — and how Kathryn lost five hours going back and forth with Claude and ChatGPT while trying to create a single 60-second demo video that never materialized into anything usable.
● How ChatGPT and Claude behave in fundamentally different ways that may or may not match your own cognitive style — with ChatGPT spiraling into long-winded justifications without ever producing output, and Claude at least delivering results, even when those results fall frustratingly flat from a creative and design standpoint.
● Why your own creative vision, taste, and ability to push back on AI-generated ideas are the most critical skills you can develop right now because without a strong point of view, you risk adopting generic, strategically hollow output that pulls your brand in the wrong direction.
● How the growing impatience people feel toward AI tools is spilling over into unrealistic expectations of freelancers and contractors — creating a cultural pressure rooted in the false belief that everything should now be faster, easier, and nearly effortless.
