I've been using Chet GPT since the beginning. I'm a real change GPT if we can I use it every day. In this video, I'll share my lessons learned from overusing GPT. I'll give you the good, the bad and the ugly. Who am I? I'm Murielle Machiels, passionate about guiding leaders and teams through a rapidly evolving digital world with a touch of mindfulness and balance. At the heart of my work as the founder of key leader and academic director at Solvay Brussels school, I blend cutting edge neuroscience with practical leadership training, striving to make a positive, lasting impact on organisational cultures and of course bring individual growth. When I discovered chat GPT I started to use it for almost everything. LinkedIn posts to help me with my strategy with my course creation. To help me find wheel stories to illustrate a concept for my course, to script a video to find research backing up my principles. When I make a podcast, I'll send my transcript to Chad GPT to write the show notes, a blog article, find inspiring titles, write to LinkedIn posts, and help me with the SEO and keywords. And boom, I've managed to reduce one day of work to only one hour. I use it to expand my thinking and help me with existential questions about intelligence versus consciousness. For instance, I've created my own chat GPT assistants that I share with the team. I've trained them to help me with specific tasks in my business. One is my personal marketing and sales manager to help us improve our marketing and sales funnel so that we can reach our revenue, profit and purpose goals. The other one is my own course creator. I've added my concepts, personas, transformation paths, in charge GPT. To help me build or improve my course, I've trained it to use my tone of voice. So it isn't perfect yet and makes mistakes. But it helps me increase my productivity at lightning speed. So for instance, I created 40 lessons for my course, in just one day, instead of two weeks previously, I can personalise each lesson in function of the personality type of participants, or whether they lead a team or not. It helps me save a lot of time, or deliver way more with the same amount of time. So after using chat GPT for one year, what have I learned? Well, for a while I had the feeling it was the Holy Grail of productivity for my business, because it increased our outputs exponentially. But then at some point, I noticed that I was using it too much. Yes, I was increasing my productivity at lightning speeds. But at the same time, I was losing depths, I was losing my personal touch, what I was producing was interesting, there were some great insights, but it wasn't as impactful. I wasn't touching the soul of people like I used to do. And when you start using Chet GPT a lot, you start recognising other people's work as coming from AI. And so what blew your mind at first has become an average output that lacks flavour. And I went very far in my desire to produce a lot of content. So I watched a video on YouTube teaching me how to create 100 wheels in 15 minutes. Using AI. Imagine that in 15 minutes, you create content that you use to make in weeks. And I was almost tempted to apply that strategy to my social media. But that's when I stopped and realised that it wasn't aligned with my values. And with the change I wanted to bring to the world. Let me break down why. Yes, you produce 100 videos and receive numerous likes. However, this only contributes to increasing someone's addiction to the social media platform where your content is shared. Such content doesn't enhance the viewers well being rather it leads them further into a state of numbness. They waste time being numbed by a screen instead of engaging in activity. teas that truly brings them joy and happiness or impact. Yes, I might gain views and followers, and even earn some money with that strategy. However, the real beneficiary is the social media platform. And instead of growing my audience impact and well being, I've only further numb them all in pursuit of a couple of followers. People often ask the question, will AI ever be conscious? And I think we should rather ask ourselves the question, how conscious are we as human beings, and lets me talk about what I call the zombification risk. I believe that the further numbing of human beings is a significant risk associated with AI. In addition to its other potential dangers, of course, interactions become increasingly superficial. The texts we eat, the videos we watch, the chatbots we interact with, and the screen addiction many of us have is leading to a greater disconnection from both ourselves and each other. Just look at the numbers of loneliness in the world. When in my great enthusiasts, and I use chat GPT a lot, I slowly realised that AI is like eating fast foods. It's quick, convenient, standardised and cost efficient, but lacks the nutritional depth and personal touch of home cooked meal. It can cause addiction and skill degradation can degrade health lacks quality. And of course, there are environmental concerns. And that's exactly what I started to feel when over utilising AI for everything I did. My output exploded. But I lacked quality. My skills of inspiring and touching people's soul, were slowly degrading, I became more addicted to Chet GPT, because it's easier and quicker to prompt chat GPT than to use mental energy for complex tasks. I work more hours than before, because of my lack of presence because of the lack of quality of outputs, and the dopamine rush I got from using it. So am I going to stop using AI? Definitely not. These downsides made me realise that I need to find a balance. So the question I asked myself is the following. How can I use AI to align with my humanity values while boosting my impact in business. And that's how I came back to the concept of slowing down to speed up. I teach it in my leadership programmes to increase impact in fast and busy times. When I slow down to the speed of presence, when I slow down to a point where I'm aware of my thoughts, emotions, sensations, that's when wisdom emerges. That's when I tap into another level of intelligence that I call the consciousness quotient. That's when I get creative and innovative. That's when I'm capable of creating a shift in people by inspiring them when I reach this level of presence, and when I have new ideas, that's when I can use Chet GPT as my assistant to speed up again, and help me implement those ideas faster. So I combined wisdom, presence and slowness, with the rapid, efficient, convenient use of AI. And that's when magic arises. And I'll keep combining AI and other technologies with presence, consciousness and wisdom. Because I want to become a Buddha AI instead of zombie AI. Whether you aspire to be a better leader, live a more fulfilling life or utilise technology sustainably for yourself and others and the planets. I've come to realise that it invariably boils down to your consciousness level. Consciousness here we first do your self awareness, the clarity with which you perceive your thoughts, emotions, and the impact of your actions on the broader world. So should you implement GPT or other AI in your organisation? Absolutely. But if it's impact that you want, and not simply output don't forget to up scale your people as well help them raise their consciousness quotient, along with their IQ and EQ, so that they can leverage the technology. Don't let them become robots barely coping with technology. Now ask yourself the question. Do you want to master technology or become a slave of technology? Do you want AI to become conscious while you become a robot? And are you becoming a Buddha AI or a zombie AI?
