I burned out from AI overload. My anxiety peaked, I lost weight, and I was snapping at my family and friends.
Shalirrah Wisney, a mother of two, enthusiastically embraced AI both at work at and home. Then, the burnout set in.
Shalirrah Wisney, a mom, podcast host, author, and B2B marketer, experienced burnout from her relentless pursuit of AI. She had immersed herself in AI, attending conferences and reading everything she could find about the technology. Her dedication even led to the self-publishing of a children's book about AI and the creation of a podcast discussing AI's impact on professional and personal life.
However, this intense focus on AI resulted in significant health issues, including anxiety, weight loss, and strained relationships. Despite initially believing AI would bring positive change, Wisney found herself struggling with the rapid changes and conflicting messages surrounding AI. She sought help from her doctor, adjusted her anxiety medication, and cut back on AI subscriptions.
Wisney also decided to start a podcast called "AI on the Side," where she openly shares her thoughts on AI, hoping to inspire others to use the technology for positive change. She believes that AI's faults should not prevent people from realizing its potential to solve real-world problems, and that it's crucial for diverse voices to shape the future of AI.
