In a LinkedIn post, Thomas J. Powell, Chief Advocate of The Founders Office™, reflects on the surge of AI‑generated answers and the resulting dilemma for founders: deciding which answer should guide critical decisions. He argues that experience, judgment, strategy, and governance are the essential filters that give meaning to AI’s output. Powell cites Kamya Marwah’s Inc. Magazine story, noting that as AI makes information creation easier, the value of lived experience, perspective, and trust rises. He also highlights insights from AI educator Nate Herk, who observes that AI is reshaping the economics of content creation, making polished work widely accessible while elevating credibility as a differentiator. Herk introduces the concept of being “AI‑native,” urging creators to consider AI as the first step in any task rather than a peripheral tool. Powell frames these ideas as part of his role as The Founder’s Advocate™, focusing on asking better questions, challenging AI answers, and helping founders make superior decisions.
