Most people using AI regularly have no idea they're making these mistakes, because none of them come with a warning.

In this episode, Sam and Katy break down five habits that quietly sabotage AI output: an AI that agrees too easily, copy-pasted output that doesn't sound like you, chats that run too long, bloated files, and prompts too vague to work with.

You'll learn:

  • Why AI agreeing with you almost every time isn't confirmation, it's a design choice

  • Why copying AI's first draft costs you more than it saves

  • What a chat's memory loses the longer a conversation runs

  • What a bloated file in your project folder costs you without you noticing
