I keep hearing the same story: a team won't touch AI, and everyone assumes it's fear or laziness.

My co-host Erin Wiggers has a different read, and it's a commercial one, not a soft one.

"A person is not going to use AI no matter how much you beg and plead them like it's not going to happen if they don't trust it because nobody wants to put their name on something out in the world that feels like a robot wrote it and is disingenuous."

If adoption has stalled near you, that's probably the real reason — not the one anybody's naming out loud.
