Writing Atrophy Hunter

July 2024

When my company gave me the greenlight to start the podcast, The Knowing Edge, I was excited but nervous. I’ve had some incredible experiences, specifically as a consultant, but nobody really knows about them other than my family.

More than that, I had been seeing the same swelling anxiety across every industry surround AI. I was teaching a problem solving class to a client, and they started circumventing the KT process by dropping screen shots of the cases into ChatGPT. I wasn’t mad, I just watched.

Interestingly, it came up with 5 incorrect root causes almost instantly.

That’s the moment I started writing this book.

These people were engineers and scientist, they were just playing around with it, they dont trust it that much yet. the interesting thing is, that day may be coming though.

Even if AI ends up doing everything for us, correctly, we will miss the chance to grow through struggle and failure, we will wither. That’s what the book, Atrophy Hunter, is all about.
