Can we start normalizing "I used AI"?

Quick scope-check before you come for me. This post isn't about AI as an existential crisis or whether it's good or bad for humanity. I'll leave that debate for another day.

Let’s be honest, most small businesses are using AI and pretending they're not. I want to talk about it and what to do instead.

Let's start the conversation with the last time you were on a plane. And the pilot who likely used autopilot (I originally had ghostwriting as an analogy, but Claude astutely flagged that autopilot was a stronger argument).

So, autopilot.
