• AI After 50 - Episode #4 - AI is a Behavioral Shift, Not a Technological Shift - ChatGPT Advanced Voice

  EPISODE #4: AI is a Behavioral Shift, Not a Technological ShiftIs AI a technological revolution, or is it really about behavior? In this episode, we break down why adapting to AI is less about mastering the technology and more about shifting your mindset—especially for professionals over 50. I’m joined by Sol, a ChatGPT Advanced Voice,, to discuss how AI isn’t just a tool you use when you need it, but a coworker and thinking partner that should always be in your workflow. We also explore how moving beyond the traditional “Google search mindset” can help you integrate AI into both your personal and professional life.Plus, I share a real-life story about how AI saved me over $500 on a dryer repair, and we dive into practical strategies to help you build the habit of using AI daily.
