Yes, that was my response. Given that her job may hinge upon her actually using the tool, why not help her?

I can’t do anything about the other issues she mentioned, but if she doesn’t want to get undercut by somebody who is willing to use AI as her CEO wants, well, we’re here to help.

It’s just who I am. When I found out how bad franchising was for franchisees, I just didn’t just [complain about it on a seldom-viewed internet board](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/franchisers-the-lowest-of-the-low-long/959839), I wrote a book, started a podcast, appeared on radio and TV spots, opened a consulting business, gave webinars, created a YouTube channel, started a [Skool.com](http://Skool.com) classroom, more, all to get the message out and help people avoid the franchise trap. I’ve saved people millions of dollars and well over a hundred years of stress (combined).

Some people do things, others do not. If she may want help, my inclination… _always_… is to ask her if she wants help.
