#14: AI, Mastery, and Taste

In this episode of Modern Logic for Your Business, hosts Dustin Bruzenak and Andy Rahn dig into one of the most important questions facing modern businesses: what matters when AI can do almost everything faster?

Sparked by recent research from Anthropic, the conversation explores how AI affects learning in the workplace, especially for junior employees. Dustin and Andy discuss why blindly delegating work to AI can slow skill development, how human curiosity and questioning lead to better outcomes, and why expertise still plays a critical role in supervising AI-generated work.

They also reflect on decades of technology shifts, from early programming and spreadsheets to modern creative tools like Lightroom, and draw parallels to today’s AI-powered workflows. Throughout the episode, a central theme emerges. AI is a powerful tool, but it lacks taste. Judgment, craftsmanship, and the ability to recognize quality remain human responsibilities.

If you’re trying to balance speed, automation, and long-term excellence in your business, this episode offers a grounded perspective on why mastery still matters in the age of AI.
