Did you check it with the model?

On Monday's show my co-host Nico Lafakis predicted: "going into Q1 next year, you're not going to hear anybody say… double check the output that you got." Then, "next summer is, 'Did you check it with the model?'"

And within five years, in his words, we go from "God, that's embarrassing and I would never even touch that thing" to "Hey, did you check with it? Because otherwise I kind of don't trust you."

Those are his dates and his forecast, not something I can promise.

If you're deciding how much to lean on AI at work, it's a prediction worth testing against your own team.
