I Realised I've Been Using AI Wrong - This Summit Shifted Everything!

I MUST say a huge thank you to the AI Advantage team, and to Dean and Tony for putting this together.

No programme works for everybody. For some, this was too simple; for others, too advanced. Some felt it was too “sales-like” (though personally, I’ve attended webinars that were far more sales-focused and far less informative and actionable). Yesterday, Dean outlined two groups of people based on mindset, but actually, I think there were a few more in there that weren’t mentioned.

I am unable to join the programme, but unlike many I’ve seen in the chats, I’m choosing to take responsibility for where I am and work with what I do have; which is a lot. There was real value here. Thank you especially for switching things up and adding more use cases. For many beginners, that made a huge difference. I noticed a lot of people then wanted the “HOW,” but in my experience, the “how” is not something that can be explained simply in a live setting, because once you go into execution, you’re teaching a completely different type of workshop.

I didn’t come to this completely new, but I’m certainly not an expert either. The biggest realisation that landed for me, particularly after seeing the AI Surfer example, was that I have been using AI as my consultant. I thought AI was saving me time because it could create documents, design systems, and teach me how to use them, so I wouldn’t have to hire someone.

But the penny dropped this weekend:

I wasn’t freeing up time. I was adding more work, because I had made myself:

The operator
The organiser
The system builder
The workflow executor
The one responsible for remembering how everything connects

In other words… I was doing everything. AI would give insight, and I would act!

But from this weekend forward, AI and I are switching roles:

AI = The System Operator

Me = The Conscious Director.

Before this weekend, using AI in that way wasn’t even in my mind as an option. So I want to say a huge thank you. Especially to the AI Surfer Dude, because his 90/10 concept is what solidified how to use AI to save real time and actually be the multi-talented creator I know I am, without burning out!!

I’ve already started designing a blueprint to create my own clone DNA. It may not be as fast as working with Igor, but I know what the process looks like now, and I know I can do it.

So one last MASSIVE thank you for bringing together all those guests and giving us such a wide and practical education. Most webinars show us what is possible, then we have to pay before we can see the how. You invited those who can to continue the journey and learn how and do it alongside you.

For those like me who can’t join right now, I’m grateful that the how is still accessible.

With resourcefulness and AI, we can get the how too.

I’m sharing this from a place of reflection, not argument, just in case others are processing similar things.

I’d really love to hear: How are you planning to shift the role AI plays in your life or work after this weekend? Whether you are in the programme or not. Let's inspire each other with our own use cases 😘
