  • Ep. 58 - Joachim Lepine - Stop Asking ChatGPT. Ask Yourself First.
    Mar 11 2026

    What if the most powerful AI you have access to… is your own brain?In this episode of Found in Interpretation, we sit down for a third time with Joachim Lepine — interpreter trainer, author, and founder of Lion Academy — to talk about his upcoming book YouGPT Before ChatGPT, releasing in late March.Joachim makes a compelling case for something we've all stopped doing: thinking for ourselves before turning to a machine. In a world where ChatGPT has become the default first stop for ideas, writing, decisions and even business strategy, he argues that we've got the order completely backwards.We dig into:- Why going to ChatGPT first leads to cognitive atrophy- How Joachim wrote his book using AI without letting AI write it. - The difference between what machines do well and what only humans can do.- Why French speakers get a worse deal from AI (and why that won't change soon)- The environmental cost of AI that nobody talks about- Confidentiality risks you're probably not aware of
