Hey! This is Ep# of Amplify Ai - Integrating Intelligence, Preserving Identity presented by Ronsley Vaz.Hey, AI geeks. It's Ronsley!Ever wondered why your AI outputs feel... hollow? Like they're missing something crucial?Here's the thing - we've been communicating with AI completely wrong. While everyone's obsessed with prompt libraries and hacks, they're missing the fundamental truth about how humans (and AI) actually process information.In this mind-blowing conversation with Simon Bowen (the genius behind the Models Method), we dive deep into why 83% of human understanding comes through visual channels, not words. And why this changes EVERYTHING about how we should be using AI.🔥What You'll Discover:- Why depth of thinking is the ONLY true market differentiation- The shocking truth about why customers don't actually know what they want- How to get 10x better AI outputs using visual models (not prompts)- The "AI Line" concept that predicts which jobs survive (and which don't)- Why AI will consume all human content by 2027 and what that means for your business- The two things EVERY business sells (hint: it's not what you think)This isn't just another AI conversation. Simon literally saved someone's life this week using ChatGPT in a way that will blow your mind (story at 15:17).If you're tired of generic AI outputs that sound like everyone else's, this episode will transform how you communicate with both humans AND machines.Ready to stop being a "cut and paste communicator" and start creating AI outputs that actually sound like YOU?P.S. Simon shares the exact visual model technique he uses to get ChatGPT to write emails that are indistinguishable from his own writing style.
