Over the past week, I have been recording and editing the AI courses that I will be releasing in the coming weeks. (I will send some emails over the coming weeks about this)

Most people were saying that I should just build interfaces and charge people for access.

I could have made a lot of money doing it this way.

But the question I had to ask myself; what is the ultimate goal?

Why am I doing this?

That I can answer clearly.

I want people to know how to interact with AI.

Not just a couple of prompts, truly be able to interact and train an AI.

We are stepping into an AI world whether we like it or not.

People who say “AI scares me” or the ones who aren’t actively trying to learn will be left behind.

They will be replaced by someone who has chosen to master it.

I was working with one AI company a few years back, the owner said one thing over and over:

“You won’t be replaced by AI, you will be replaced by someone using AI”

I see that more than ever.

But, where is AI going?

Sam Altman - CEO of OpenAI (ChatGPT) says this is our trajectory over the next few years.

The 5 stages of AI are:

Stage 1 - Chat

We are here now, or just past this.

This is the cave man era of AI.

I tell it to do this, it does this, no thinking, just doing.

This is why some of the responses up until recently were ridiculous because it was lacking context.

An example: I had to do some imagery for a company I’m working with at the moment.

I ask for “Person sitting in ice bath with floating pieces of ice”

I got this.

 

Stage 2 - Reasoners

This is relatively new.

Reasoning is what you do every day when asked to do a task.

For example, if your partner asks you to mow the lawn, you’re not going to do the neighbours lawn, you’ll do your own.

If you ask the AI to do a task, it will go through a reasoning process.

• Why would they ask me to do this?
• What are the possible applications?
• Contextually based on our chat so far, what is the most likely application?
• Output

Claude is phenomenal at this.

ChatGPT released a model specifically targeted at this.

This advancement alone is game changing.

Stage 3 - Agents

We’re already here.

This is why you need to be on board.

Agents are basically bots without the limitations.

You train them to do a task.

It can be as simple as posting from a dropbox to social media.

It might be DM setting in the exact voice of the owner using the most advanced persuasion techniques, targeted at that individual person.

It could be used to do all of the grunt work for a tax accountant, be submitted to another AI for review, then the tax accountant has a quick look over and approves.

Or, it could be scraping the internet for ideal clients, pulling their data, putting it through high level prompts and projects, and then outreaching to them with free material that is better than any marketing company, sales company or whatever your industry is company could do in a month.

Think about that.

They don’t get a crappy one size fits all lead magnet, they get a custom lead magnet for them.

Something that proves without a doubt that you can deliver and should be paid attention to.

I’ll add to this in a moment.

Stage 4 - Innovators

Right now, the critics of AI say “It can’t create, only replicate”

Sure, that’s a proper critique if you're talking to a human.

But when you have pretty much all the data known to mankind, you’re recreating from a dataset that has never been accessible to one being.

You can create things that no one may ever have come across.

But the innovators stage changes all of that.

It can truly create something that hasn’t been created.

Think:

• New elements
• Cure for diseases
• Prevention of diseases
• Whatever you want to, as long as you know how to use it.

Stage 5 - Companies

This is the stage where you take the ability to train agents and crank it up to 11.

You will have a whole company run by AI agents.

Every agent has a specific task.

They communicate with one another for total synergy.

No workplace conflict or egos.

Just a company that hums along.

As the owner of said company, you will be sitting back and watching a dashboard of real time data.

Making adjustments as you need to.

If you read back over that, it’s pretty clear what happens to people who don’t adopt AI.

It doesn’t look great.

For those who jump on board, the future is bright.

But as I’ve said before, the wave is breaking.

You can either get in front of it and ride it, or you’re stuck paddling like hell behind, trying to catch up. 

The choice is yours.
