Several weeks ago, Paul dissected the good and the bad of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the tech side on Spirit Gym with tech consultant/UX researcher Rachel Miles ( paulchek.com/blog/podcast-episodes/365-is-ai-the-great-equalizer-or-the-great-deceiver-with-rachel-miles ).

A huge question remained unanswered after that conversation: How do we retain our humanity amid the avalanche of AI tech?

Venture capitalist, entrepreneur and first-time author Jeff Burninhgam embraces the answer to that very question in his book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI ( amzn.to/3KD4SLF ).

Jeff explains why the presence of AI is an important reminder to embrace our humanity and how the beauty in life is not trying to achieve perfection but to relish in its messiness and imperfection this week on Spirit Gym.
