The State of AI for Entrepreneurs in Mid-2026 | Ethan King

Ethan King is an entrepreneur, AI advisor, and author of " Done: Let AI Do Your Work So You Can Live Your Life." In this episode, he returns to the show for a mid-2026 update on where AI actually stands for business owners. He and Dave dig into why most entrepreneurs are still stuck at the chatbot level, what it looks like when AI stops answering questions and starts completing tasks, and how Ethan published 12 blog posts in 40 seconds without a word of generic slop. They also get into the anti-AI backlash, the stark contrast with how China is approaching it, its impact on jobs, and Ethan's six levels of AI autonomy, a framework for honestly assessing where you are and what to tackle next.  Related Links: Ethan's Website: https://ethanking.com/ Ethan's Book: https://donebook.ai/
