ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

When artificial intelligence dominates headlines, why does it still feel like something vital is being left out?

Welcome to Episode 29 of Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec — “What All AI News Reports MISS.” In this eye-opening installment, Lisec dives deep into what the mainstream media refuses to talk about in the world of AI. With over 2.2 million monthly searches for artificial intelligence by late 2024, AI is hotter than ever. But what does that surge in search volume reveal — and more importantly, what does it obscure?

Lisec, the world’s most Googled ghostwriter and master of persuasion, delivers an urgent persuasion lesson grounded in the psychology of how to persuade someone to do something—especially when they're being actively misled. In this episode of the persuasion channel, he explains how every shiny new AI feature is designed to distract from the uncomfortable truth: you, the wage worker, are being quietly replaced — and no, it won’t be covered in the news.

Lisec reflects on his own journey, recalling a cold Ohio November in 2017 when he first read an excerpt from GPT-2 in a Guardian article. That moment was his personal AI prediction: journalism, ghostwriting, and nearly every writing-related profession had just received a death sentence. Why? Because GPT-2 was more than clever — it was capable.

But the real AI revolution started earlier. In 2015, Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind showed how an AI trained to play video games evolved from clumsy beginner to superhuman master in just 24 hours. That demo became a foundational AI 2015 moment, and a key persuasion psychology takeaway: we underestimate what machines can do until they’ve already taken over.

So why isn’t this front-page AI news 2025? Because persuasive techniques work both ways — to inspire action or to suppress truth. Lisec reveals the hidden techniques of persuasion in writing used by outlets that benefit from AI hype, from breathless reports on robotaxis and stock booms to puff pieces on classroom chatbots. The goal? To keep you reading — not thinking.

What about the places where AI is actually impacting your life and career? Lisec gets real about the careers that are already functionally obsolete — data entry, data analysis, even legal research — and exposes how AI tools like ChatGPT, from GPT-1 to the latest ChatGPT update, are being used behind the scenes to outperform you. That's not just an AI argument — it’s a call to arms.

What’s the antidote? Personal branding. Human storytelling. Becoming indispensable. Lisec shares persuasion examples and examples of persuasion in advertising that point to one truth: if people don’t want you specifically, your job can — and will — be automated.

This is not just another “tech update” or futuristic musing. It’s a persuasion technique in itself — a wake-up call to build your moat before AI floods your profession.
