Last July, I launched a business. It was a big decision (and risk!), so I wanted to be as prepared as I possibly could. In all the podcasts I listened to and blogs I read, there was a consistent refrain: "You need to set aside time to think big." If everyone was saying a version of this, it seemed important. But what did it mean ? No one was talking about what "thinking big" was, how to do it, or how much time they spend doing it.

Ask any AI chatbot a question, and its answers are either amusing, helpful, or just plain made up. Because AI tools like ChatGPT work by predicting strings of words that it thinks best match your query, they lack the reasoning to apply logic or consider any factual inconsistencies they're spitting out. In other words, AI will sometimes go off the rails trying to please you.
