AI writing took center stage on Rising Tides Live as Eric Farrell filled in for Shawn Walchef and led a candid conversation on how to use AI without losing your humanity. Restaurant operators, creators, and business leaders shared how they leverage tools like ChatGPT to draft content, analyze contracts, develop recipes, and clarify ideas, while warning against the growing wave of robotic “AI slop.” A clear theme emerged: AI is a powerful assistant, not a replacement. The operators who win will be the ones who bring context, personality, and real-world experience to every prompt.
