Or How Mowgli discovered that the most dangerous beast isn’t a tiger, but a human with the title “AI Visionary”
1. Chapter: How Mowgli (still without a personal brand) Fell into the Feed
One day, Mowgli — a boy raised by wolves and vaguely defined datasets — wandered too close to the human village.
And not just there, but all the way to Boubín, where the fog rolls in like unsolicited newsletters, and even the trees whisper like motivational podcasts.
He didn’t expect to find a new kind of jungle — the jungle of social networks.
It was a land full of glowing banners, inspirational quotes, and creatures who called each other “colleague,” even though they wouldn’t shake hands in real life.
“What is this place?” Mowgli asked.
“This,” said old Baloo, who now worked as an AI Governance Consultant and hiked to Boubín to meditate on regulations,
“is LinkedIn. A jungle where everyone claims to be an expert, and no one wants to admit they aren’t.”
2. Chapter: The Wolf Pack of Experts
Mowgli soon encountered a pack of wolves who called themselves the AI Strategists Pack.
They camped among the spruces, but instead of a fire, they had an LED lamp stuck in the ground.
Each wore a badge:
- “AI Strategist”
- “AI Transformation Lead”
- “AI Innovation Architect”
- “AI Visionary”
- and one even “AI Prophet,” though he couldn’t restart a router, let alone understand why his hotspot wasn’t working.
“What do you do here?” Mowgli asked.
“We lead,” said the wolf with the longest title.
“Whom?”
“Well… each other.”
3. Chapter: Shakal Shere Khan, Lord of the Algorithm
The forest trembled before one beast: Shere Khan, the tiger who fed on attention.
On Boubín, they called him Shashkal, because he acted like a predator but had the knowledge of a stray dog.
He wasn’t an ordinary tiger.
He was an AI Evangelist, publishing a new free e‑book every day just to have someone to send follow‑ups to.
His territory was the algorithm.
His prey were those who clicked on his posts.
His voice sounded like a motivational podcast no one wanted to hear — yet everyone did.
“AI will change everything!” Shere Khan roared into the jungle and the Boubín fog.
“And whoever doesn’t understand it is a backward fool!”
The animals trembled.
Not because he was right, but because he had massive reach.
4. Chapter: Kaa the Snake — Master of Prompts
In the treetops — tropical and Boubín alike — slithered Kaa, now known as
AI Prompt Engineer Senior Master Elite Ultra+.
Kaa whispered:
“Just the right prompt and AI will do everything for you…
Come closer, Mowgli…
I’ll teach you the secret…”
Mowgli leaned in.
Kaa smiled.
“The secret word is… synergy.
And if that doesn’t work, add disruptive.
And if that still doesn’t work — sell a course.”
5. Chapter: The Monkey City of Influencers
Mowgli reached the monkey city, ruled by chaos, Canva templates, and unsolicited mastermind invitations.
The monkey king Bandar‑Log bore the title:
Chief AI Thought Leader of the Future of the Future™
The monkeys leapt from branch to branch, shouting:
“I’m an expert!”
“No, I’m a bigger expert!”
“I have 50,000 followers!”
“I had a viral post yesterday!”
None of them could do anything, but all of them had a course for 4,990 CZK.
Even the capercaillies on Boubín laughed at them.
“What do you actually do?” Mowgli asked.
The monkeys froze.
Looked at each other.
And then started shouting again — because they didn’t know the answer.
6. Chapter: Baloo and Bagheera — The Last Real Experts
Baloo (AI Governance Consultant) and Bagheera (AI Researcher, PhD — though no one reads that far) were the last two in the jungle, and on Boubín, who truly understood what they were doing.
Baloo taught Mowgli:
“Remember, boy: a real expert speaks little and works a lot.”
Bagheera added:
“And a fake expert speaks a lot and works… on their brand.”
7. Chapter: The Battle for the Algorithm
One day, Shere Khan declared:
“Whoever doesn’t have ‘AI’ in their title will not survive in this jungle!”
And the jungle split:
- influencers filmed videos,
- opportunists added “AI” to their titles,
- mystics meditated on the quantum vibrations of data,
- and real experts quietly updated documentation.
Mowgli stood before Shere Khan and said:
“But you don’t actually understand AI.”
The jungle fell silent.
Shere Khan hesitated.
Then said:
“That doesn’t matter. I understand the algorithm.”
And unfortunately, that was true.
8. Chapter: How Mowgli Left the Jungle
Mowgli eventually realised that the jungle of social networks is no place for someone seeking truth.
“Where will you go?” Baloo asked.
“To the people who work, not the ones who perform.”
“And how will you recognise them?”
Mowgli smiled:
“By the fact that they don’t have time to write about how good they are.”
The New Law of the Jungle
And so a new law of the social‑network jungle was born — valid in the tropics, on Boubín, and on LinkedIn:
“The one who shouts the loudest knows the least.
The one who speaks the least knows the most.
And the one with ‘AI Ninja’ in their title knows nothing at all.”
