Season 3: The Teaser

VIRGIL 0:08
Have you ever seen the movie Forrest Gump? One of the most famous sayings out of there is stupid is as stupid does. I'm Virgil Carroll and your host and here at Discussing Stupid. Honestly, we see a lot of stupid in the world of digital and it really depends on where you come from. But there's a lot of things that happen. Whether we see people that don't know their processes or really the processes are just too clunky, or they've got stuff scattered everywhere through your websites, your digital intranets and other digital places and that, and they really don't know where it is and how to handle it. And what I love most is we have these collaboration tools, tools to work together and everybody has a million of them and they work in different ones for different things and they never really work together.

COLE 0:58
Yeah. So if you're someone who works in digital experiences, whether that be internal collaboration systems like portals or intranets, or public facing environments like websites, there's a good chance that we've already kind of got you even pissed off. But I'm Cole Schlotthauer, I'm your cohost, here on Discussing Stupid we are here to call out these bad practices and give you practical advice in order to get in the right track with them. So our goal is to make the digital world a bit less stupid one episode at a time. This season our focus is going to be more deep dives into a lot of the same topics from last season. But this season we're going to be kicking things off with AI.

VIRGIL 1:42
Oh, AI. And so one of the things we're going to really look at is not just how AI is a trend, is an exciting thing in shiny baubles, but, uh, how we can implement it intentionally as part of our processes and actually make those processes better. So we're going to really deep dive into looking at the good, the bad and the ugly of AI and kind of how it fits into the entire content life cycle. And so to kick it off in our first episode, we're going to be talking about that at a very basic level. And then we're going to be diving deeper into a series where we're going to talk about each stage of the content lifecycle and, and how it might be able to help there. But don't worry, we're not only going to talk about AI throughout the season, we're going to have a lot of other exciting topics, around all of our areas like search and UX and digital workplace and all those kind of things and really kind of, provide you really practical advice and things that you can implement right in your organization.
