About this listen
This week's episode was generated by NotebookLM from my newsletter—so you're hearing AI model my thinking in real-time.
This episode explores the intersection of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence, arguing that tech companies are currently "stealing" human psychological methodologies without proper credit or ethical understanding.
The author highlights how features in models like Claude 4.6 mimic foundational NLP techniques, such as Socratic questioning and Clean Language, while stripping away the essential "art" of human rapport and calibration. By providing examples of hollow AI coaching, the text warns that formulaic application of these tools can be dangerous if they lack an appreciation for a client's unique ecology.
To prevent the commodification of the field, the source urges NLP practitioners to stop resisting and instead take the lead as AI curriculum designers.
The overarching message is that the community must actively teach the structure of human excellence to AI to ensure these systems operate with care, nuance, and ethical integrity.
