AI Epically Failed, But I Won! | Just a Point of View with Denise Reed

I gave AI 90 minutes to automate my monthly subbilling reports. It failed spectacularly. Numbers were wrong, data was missing, and it kept hallucinating information that didn't exist.

But here's the thing—that failure taught me more than success ever could.

In this episode, I'm sharing:
✅ My 5-step AI testing framework (so you don't waste time like I did)
✅ Learn the 4 lessons nobody talks about when AI fails
✅ When to give up on automation (and feel good about it)
✅ The ironic win: How AI failure became some of my best content

If you've ever wondered whether AI can actually help your business—or if you've tested it and felt frustrated—this episode is for you.

🎯 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Scanned PDFs are AI kryptonite
• Accuracy matters more than speed (especially for billing!)
• Not every task should be automated
• Failure is data, too—document everything
• Sometimes the smartest move is knowing when to let the bots sit this one out

This is real business, real challenges, and real solutions. No fluff. No hype. Just 30 years of business wisdom meets AI-powered curiosity.
