Self-efficacy becomes a team sport.
I → You → We.
I have to imagine the following happens with most new technologies. Here’s yet another love story for See One, Do One, Teach One…
If everyone was handed their own personal AGI today1, what would they do with it?
Depends on what they think it can do for them.
Without the right mental models, activation is absent.
But a single fabulous flywheel of It Worked! is probably all it takes to convince most of us of the magic.
It’s a shift of self-efficacy from I can do it → You (the technology) can do it → We can do it.
Self-efficacy becomes a team sport.
