Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?

Deloitte used AI to help produce a government report — and it backfired badly. From fake quotes to non-existent references, this “trusted” report cost them a partial refund and a reputational hit. But this episode isn’t about politics. It’s about what happens when we stop asking, “Does this make sense?”
📌 In this episode, Charly breaks down:
✅ Why AI confidently delivers incorrect info (aka “hallucinations”)
✅ How trust erodes when no one verifies AI-generated content
✅ The efficiency trap: speed vs. accuracy in business tools
✅ A clear mindset: AI helps you think faster — not for you
🛡️ Final takeaway? AI is your assistant, not your decision-maker. Review everything.
