Why AI Projects Fail: Wrong Problem Size

by Creative Robot | Nov 25, 2025 | AI, Business, Communication, IT, Leadership, Management, Technology

Spent 30+ years coding, 8 with AI. The secret isn’t the tech – it’s breaking problems into chunks AI can actually handle. Most people fail because they dump entire projects on it.

Why Does Your AI Give Terrible Answers?

Why Does Your AI Give Terrible Answers?

by Creative Robot | Nov 12, 2025 | AI, Business, Communication, IT, Leadership, Management, Technology

Your AI gives mediocre answers because you’re asking it to solve complex problems all at once.
