In this episode of 4 Guys Talking About AI, we dig into how everyday AI use is exploding—and what that means for business, government, and consumers.
Chatbots now score 80%+ in accuracy and satisfaction, even showing up in 911 call centers to manage staffing shortages. But not everything is rosy: we dive into AI sycophancy, the dark side of overly flattering bots that may manipulate emotions.
Meanwhile, Google isn’t going anywhere. Despite the AI boom, its stock is up 430% as people still turn to Google for local and brand searches while leaning on AI for top-of-funnel research. And inside companies? Agent-based structures are replacing hierarchies, powered by platforms like N8N—though a new MIT study warns 95% of orgs fail to see ROI from AI deployments.
It’s the messy, fascinating reality of AI in 2025: helpful, manipulative, resilient, and disruptive all at once.
