Welcome to Episode 20: Cracks in the AI Boom


Today’s show takes you from cracks in the global AI boom to courtroom battles and the real human impact of automation. We start with the signs of an overheated AI economy cooling down, move into a groundbreaking lawsuit in Japan against Perplexity AI, and then unpack a sobering Stanford study showing how young workers are already losing jobs to AI. Along the way, we open the AI Tip Jar with a hands-on Ice Cream Shop demo, flex our prompt skills with the 5 W’s + H, and close with a live Suno test to see how far AI music has really come.


We open with The Guardian’s reporting on the “AI boom hitting the brakes,” where investor jitters, flawed rollouts, and stalled projects suggest the hype cycle may be slowing.


From there, it’s The Financial Times with Japan’s Nikkei and Asahi Shimbun suing Perplexity AI for copyright theft — a case that could ripple across the global media landscape.


Next up is Wired, where a new Stanford study reveals a 16% drop in jobs among workers aged 22–25 in AI-vulnerable roles.


And to balance the heavy with the hands-on, we’ll explore projects vs. chats in the AI Tip Jar, show how prompts transform through Who/What/When/Where/How, and take a spin with Suno’s AI music engine.

💡 Why This Episode Matters

This episode blends macroeconomic reality, legal precedent, and human experience. From the health of the AI market to copyright battles and the livelihoods of young workers, the message is clear: AI’s disruption is no longer abstract — it’s here, it’s in courtrooms, and it’s shaping careers right now. At the same time, practical tools like our AI Tip Jar demo, better prompting, and Suno’s music generation remind us AI isn’t just headlines — it’s hands-on.
