Would you trust an intern with your most valuable clients?

Would you trust an intern with your most valuable clients?

It's pretty much what some people are doing... with AI.

I heard the comparison once and it stuck - AI is like having a whole team of interns.

I like it. I agree.

Yes they can come up with great stuff and be really helpful BUT you need to filter their work.

This is why it scares me when I see companies hand off a stack of important work to AI tools and say - "off you go!".

If I had a team of interns, it would probably make sense that I :

- Don't have the interns be on the customer service end lines
- DO have them triage calls & emails

- Don't have then interns message your clients
- DO have them write draft emails that you then edit then send

- Don't have the interns write your blog for you
- DO have them perform research and spitball ideas

Still super valuable, but, they're not in a position to royally mess up and cause a load of damage.

So yer, treat your AI like a productive but sometimes incompetent workforce and things will be smoother.
