Episode 134: AI and the True Self: Use the Technology, Don't Let the Technology Use You

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Rob and Gino wade into AI, specifically whether it has any role in helping driven people free their True Selves. Rob shares how he's been using it practically, freeing up time for deeper practices, and his experiment feeding all his dreams into AI to find patterns he couldn't see on his own.

Gino brings his "low/no tech" perspective, including the book he's writing, the 80% rule, and a genuinely interesting idea: talk your 10 Disciplines into your AI every day, and let it nudge you toward your soul.

But he also draws a hard line: if you're trusting AI 100%, that's dangerous. There are people making life-altering decisions based on what an algorithm tells them. You have agency and you know what to do. Stop listening to everyone else and listen to yourself.

Use it as a tool. Not a compass.
