#11: AI Skepticism, Prompting, and the Reality of Getting It Right
January 6, 2025
In this episode of AI For Your Business with Modern Logic, hosts Dustin Bruzenak and Andy Rahn kick off the new year by tackling one of the most common challenges businesses face with AI: skepticism. They unpack why teams often lose trust in AI after a single bad result, how ambiguous prompting leads to hallucinations, and why AI should be treated as a tool in a larger workflow rather than a standalone solution.
The conversation also explores OpenAI’s latest 5.2 model update, improvements in multi-step and agentic tasks, and why better rule-following doesn’t eliminate the need for validation. Dustin and Andy draw parallels between AI adoption and past technology shifts, discussing self-driving cars, automation, and the psychological barriers that slow adoption inside organizations.
If you’re trying to understand when AI is “good enough,” how to balance excitement with skepticism, and how prompting, validation, and human oversight fit together, this episode offers a grounded and practical perspective for business leaders and teams alike.
