AI

A Victorian sitting room lit by gaslight, in the style of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. A detective leans forward listening intently to an unseen visitor, a smartphone recording on the table beside him — an image about AI consulting and the problem nobody reports.

The Loudest AI Problem in Your Business Makes No Sound

While roasting poblanos and jalapenos for swiss chard enchiladas this weekend, listening to Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput in episode 237 of “The Artificial Intelligence Show” talk about a recent MIT report and its recommendation for core changes at the school, “the curious incident of the dog in the night-time” Read more

It Wasn’t Mine: Why I Won’t Let AI Take the Wheel Again

This is my work. These are my words. That is a promise I make to myself. I am 20 months into building a personal brand and a business while also living a full, rich life. A lovely relationship with a lovely woman. Family. Parents. Friends. A home. A career. You Read more

AI

Your Meeting Recorder Caught Every Word. It Missed the Meeting.

Note: This post was drafted with AI and edited by me. I’ve since changed how I do that. Here’s why. A few weeks ago at a Harrisburg Chamber coffee, I met a guy who works for a local print and promo shop. We had a good conversation, the kind you Read more

Stop The AI Witch Hunt. Start Using Your BS Detector.

I traveled to Scotland with a friend years ago. We still love to talk about the Scotch tasting we enjoyed at the Balvenie distillery. Sitting around a table, sipping some amazing 30+ year old whisky, savoring the aromas and flavors, a person at our table described his dram more pretentiously Read more

Twenty Minutes of Practice. Eight Months of Work. Ready.

“And what do you do at Dan Christ Digital Services?” he asked, leaning in and looking at my name tag in the middle of a Friday morning Chamber of Commerce mixer. This was it. The moment I’d known I needed to put myself in front of for months. Locking eyes Read more

While the AI Model Fight Rages, the Real Story Is What You Do Next.

A good friend has been using AI for months. They’re getting a lot of value out of it, and I’ve been happy to answer simple questions and nudge him when big releases land. He’s been asking for a while to sit down and go deep with him on ChatGPT. It’s Read more

I Built the AI Tool Big Tech Won’t: One That Knows Its Limits

Sometimes, no matter how well the thing you built works, regardless of all the accolades during the demos, they don’t buy. As much as that stings, I know what I can do. And I know I can do more today than I knew I could yesterday. All that learning, the Read more

Think Everyone Else Already Jumped Into AI? It’s Not Too Late.

I just spent four days in the Finger Lakes with friends. Good food. And a lot of laughs. After two discovery calls and one proposal decline in a week and a half, I was eager to get away for some rest and relaxation. Maybe even give my digital assistants, Claude Read more

Your Employees Aren’t Resisting AI. They’re Resisting Your “Plan.”

AI is pretty good, but generative artificial intelligence always makes mistakes. Saturday night. We went to bed before the end of the first half of the Argentina-Switzerland World Cup quarterfinal match, and my love says, “Hey, the match is already over?” Thought for a minute and said, “Nope, hon, that’s Read more

Stop Using Free AI. Here’s What You’re Missing.

This is the Golden Age of the Subscription. They are on my mind. A lot. Everywhere we turn, a service is asking for our credit card so it can charge us $20 a month for the rest of our lives for some amazing thing only it provides. While I wrote Read more
