Intentional AI 5: Dragons in Execution

If you haven’t checked out my new AI podcast with Chris Bailey, you should.

On this episode of Intentional AI, Chris and I map the dragons waiting at the edge of the AI map: false confidence, scope creep, becoming the donkey, and surrender. Chris tells the story of cooking with ChatGPT after a few drinks and ending up with something his wife spat out, and I talk through what it looks like when a robot starts driving you instead of the other way around.

We also cover Siri AI’s first genuinely reliable beta in iOS 27, get real hands-on time with Fable, and check in on Chris’s DIY values test and my cautious first steps into AI-assisted journaling. Sailors used to write “there be dragons” at the edge of unmapped territory. This episode is our field guide to the ones we’ve found so far.
