I’m sorry, but I absolutely DO NOT TRUST anything AI. I don’t use it, I won’t listen to it, and I won’t share it.

Thank you for sharing. I have mixed feelings about these AI summaries. I keep doing them, for now and with some reservation, because about 4,000 people download and listen to each one. And many send me notes saying they love them and listen while walking or driving to work. And yet I really resonate with your comment because suddenly AI is everywhere and often not in good ways.

I’m going to begin phasing these out in the next month as I transition to doing actual podcasts. As an introvert, I’ve been kind of terrified to go there. But I’ll be sending out notification soon announcing my first live video and also audio podcast. Gulp 😳

Thank you so much for following and for chiming in with a thoughtful and passionate comment. 🙏🏼☮️

Paul, please trust that hearing your voice is so much more valuable than AI. Let us cheer you on and support you in that step. As someone who has written nonfiction books myself, and done an audiobook for one of them, I’ve heard so often from my readers that hearing the voice that’s actually behind the words makes those words more meaningful. I have no doubt that we will find the same result here.
