AI for the 99%

What happens when an entrepreneur ignores traditional expert advice—and follows ChatGPT instead?

In this episode of "AI for the 99%", Dietmar shares a real, high-stakes decision: rebranding a startup with limited resources, conflicting legal advice, and no room for “perfect safety.” Instead of blindly following a conservative legal opinion, he turned to ChatGPT’s deep research capabilities to explore risks, alternatives, and strategic trade-offs.

This episode isn’t about AI replacing lawyers. It’s about how entrepreneurs actually make decisions - under uncertainty, pressure, and budget constraints - and how AI can support that process when used correctly.

💡 Key highlights
- Why “low-risk” advice can be the most expensive option for founders
- How ChatGPT can function as a thinking partner, not a decision-maker
- Using deep research and reasoning models instead of surface-level AI answers
- Why entrepreneurs—not consultants or AI—must live with consequences
- How to challenge AI outputs, validate assumptions, and trust your intuition
