What AI Gets Wrong About Tomatoes

July 22, 20262 min read

My mom used to say that knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

That saying clearly supports what I know about AI... and why AI isn't enough to get you new clients or even write a great social media post.

AI is full of knowledge. In fact, it knows just about everything that has ever been written, filmed, or illustrated.

But it doesn't have wisdom.

AI might have read every book on gall bladder surgery, but you don't want it taking yours out.

AI is designed to make choices based on probability, not experience.

A well-trained AI agent can have some human experience baked in, but it still needs human eyes to give it real discernment.

That's why Gartner estimates that half of AI job cuts will be reversed in 2027.

It's also why our Steady Clients System uses AI to get you 80% of the way to finished, but leverages my 25 years of real-world experience and my eyes to get things 100% right.

If you're using AI right now to write your copy, build your website, or just give you advice, please, for the love of all that is good, get an experienced set of eyes on the output.

Here's to tomato-free fruit salad!
