157. Are You Making These Expensive AI Mistakes?

from Small Business Savvy | Web Design, Systems, and Marketing · host Kristen Doyle, TPT seller, SEO coach, and web designer

AI is everywhere these days, and while it can be an amazing tool, it's also becoming a minefield of costly AI mistakes for business owners. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on some of the most common missteps I’m seeing digital product sellers make when using AI. From letting AI tools write your legal policies (please don’t!) to blindly trusting AI-generated website code, these mistakes might seem small but can lead to big problems with your credibility, performance, or even legal compliance.I walk you through why you should never use AI for things like privacy policies or contracts, and why AI code (though convenient) can easily break your site if you don’t fully understand what it’s doing. I even share a behind-the-scenes example of how my own excitement about an AI-built automation backfired. The bottom line? If you’re not double-checking AI’s output or editing it to reflect your actual brand voice, you could be hurting your business more than helping it.This episode isn’t anti-AI - far from it! I use it all the time. But we need to be savvy about how we’re using it. So if you’ve been tempted to copy-paste AI copy, take its “facts” at face value, or let it take the reins on your tech without oversight, this is your nudge to pause and rethink your approach. Tune in to hear what to avoid today, and come back next week for the creative, strategic ways I do recommend using AI in your business.01:24 - Using AI for legal content like privacy policies or contracts04:00 - Letting AI generate website code without understanding it06:52 - Trusting AI-generated “facts” without verifying08:34 - Copy-pasting AI-generated copy without editing for brand voiceLinks & Resources:TermageddonWordPress Care PlanEpisode 148, The 15-Minute Weekly Plan: How AI Helped Me Stop Wasting My Best Brain HoursFollow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Check out my Everything Page: a one-stop shop for savvy selling!The Savvy Seller CollectiveJoin my private Facebook community: Savvy Teacher SellersMore resources for growing your TPT businessRate & review The Savvy Teacher Seller on Apple PodcastsShow Notes: https://kristendoyle.co/episode157 Send us a text!
