AI Disclosure.

Every MASHMAN property follows the standard Mashman Consulting Group sets: artificial intelligence is the near equivalent of a spotter or personal trainer in the gym. It exists to empower, guide, and help, but not to do the heavy lifting of intellectual property creation, speaking cadence, or what would otherwise be human engagements. In personal branding especially, AI opens avenues for misrepresentation and disproportionate perception, which MASHMAN is wholly against. The firm’s full position is in the MCG AI Disclosure (opens in a new tab).

Transcripts and Quotes

The podcast transcripts on this site are made with speech recognition software run on the episode audio, then reviewed and edited to read cleanly. Interviews with guests are published only after Eric approves them. The quotes on the site are taken from those transcripts, from Eric’s articles, and from his foreword to Personal Branding: A Manifesto on Fame and Influence. Speech recognition can mishear a word; if you find an error, tell us and it will be corrected.

Eric’s Voice

AI does not speak for Eric Chow or stand in for him. The site has no chatbot or AI feature that answers in his name, and Chow’s Choice is his own writing.

Forms

Messages, appearance inquiries, and newsletter sign-ups are read by people.
