The AI Riff (Ep 55) - The AI Playbook Is Changing...Again

What if AI’s biggest breakthrough isn’t making models smarter—but making them disappear into everything you do? This episode dives into OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 release and asks the question most people are missing: have we reached the point where AI is “good enough,” and is the next battle really about speed, cost, integrations, and user experience?The conversation explores the future of AI platforms, the race between OpenAI, Claude, and open-source models, why prompt engineering is becoming a competitive advantage, and how custom GPTs can dramatically improve productivity and ROI. The team also debates whether software developers—or the people with the best ideas and AI workflows—will shape the next generation of business. If you're a founder, IT leader, or AI practitioner trying to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI landscape, this is a discussion you won't want to miss.
