They discussed the Tennessee Titans’ apology to fans after an 0-5 start. Fans said CEO Burke Nihill’s apology email sounded like AI wrote it, and asked why owner Amy Adams Strunk had her CEO say she was sorry instead of saying it herself. Drawing on decades of existing linguistic research into apologies, Dr. Laura explained what a valid apology requires and why the messenger is part of the message. Her larger point: when AI can do so much of your writing, what distinguishes the leaders people confidently trust and follow is whether they can speak credibly and authentically for themselves. You can delegate the press release, but not the responsibility.
