Artificial Intelligence has become one of the hottest topics in aesthetics, but not all AI is created equal. In this new podcast episode of The Aesthetic Blueprint presented by Symplast, special guest Chris Balbi joins the conversation to help practice owners and providers separate hype from reality.

Together, we explore what “AI slop” really means, how to identify tools and content that add no value, and why rushing into the wrong technology can cost practices time, money, and patient trust. Chris offers practical strategies for evaluating AI solutions, integrating them responsibly, and making sure automation enhances the patient journey rather than undermining it.

Whether you are just beginning to explore AI or already testing new tools, this episode will give you a clear framework for choosing technology that elevates your practice and safeguards the patient experience.
