The Lisa Latte Effect: Borrowed Intelligence, Inflated Confidence, and the Gap Between Sounding Right and Being Right (Full Audiobook)
This is the complete audiobook of *The Lisa Latte Effect*, narrated start to finish. Jason AI Wade named the pattern on October 16, 2026: people mistaking AI-generated intelligence for their own knowledge and competence. The book follows the fictional Lisa Marie Latte from the Treasure Coast to the search box to the feed. It looks at how borrowed fluency inflates confidence, why sounding right isn't the same as being right, and what platforms and AI answer engines are doing about it. It closes with three questions to ask before you trust what you think you know.
