AI is a "Yes Man": Why Your Prompts May be Lying to You

Description

Is your AI assistant actually helping you, or is it just telling you what you want to hear? In this deep dive, we explore why AI is often called the "Yes Man" of technology and the hidden risks of "hyper-hallucinations." From naming AI assistants (meet "Lisa") to the rise of "Vibe Coding," we break down how Generative AI is disrupting businesses in Kenya and beyond. We discuss why a $30/month tool can replace months of manual labor, but also why you still need a human engineer to ensure your data stays secure. In this video, you’ll learn: Why AI models are programmed to agree with you (and why that’s dangerous). The reality of "Vibe Coding": Prototyping apps in 5 minutes vs. building secure software. How SMEs can use AI to automate marketing and social media. Why "Prompt Engineering" might already be a dying career.
