Everyone's chasing AI hype. Even Wall Street is bidding up heavy machinery companies because they have "AI" in their earnings call.

That tells you something important.

If investors are throwing money at Caterpillar because of AI excitement, imagine how much money is being wasted at the business level — tools bought, subscriptions started, consultants paid — without anyone asking the basic question: does this actually solve a real problem we have?

Michael Burry made his name by seeing through the noise when everyone else was caught up in the story. You can do the same thing in your own business.

The AI tools worth buying aren't the ones getting the most press. They're the ones that remove a specific bottleneck you already know exists. Start there. One problem. One tool. Thirty days to measure it.

That's how you get your first real win — without overhauling anything that already works, without betting big on the wrong thing, and without needing anyone to explain what "machine learning" means.

Pick the task your team finds most repetitive and ask whether a tool exists that handles it. That's your starting point.

What's one repetitive task in your business you'd love to get off your team's plate?
