Ep. 74 AI is not your friend or your enemy…it’s a computer


Listen Later

I use AI to help me with every podcast episode I make. Topic generation, writing descriptions, making titles — AI has been a big part of my podcast process for a long time. I was an early adopter, I’m not planning to quit, and no, this is not an episode telling you to cut AI out of your life. But lately… I’ve been feeling disillusioned.

In this episode, I sit in the gray area and talk through my evolving relationship with AI — what it offers, what it takes, and why something about it has started to feel unsettling. We’ll cover:

  • Using AI as a therapist, expert, artist, and even a friend
  • How confidently wrong AI can be — and why that matters
  • The way AI can undermine critical thinking and creative struggle
  • Outsourcing communication, ideas, and emotional labor
  • Feeling skeptical of everything online and questioning what’s real
  • How constant AI-generated content can flatten nuance and push us into black-and-white thinking
  • Why you don’t have to be fully for or fully against it
  • Staying open-minded, human, and intentional in a rapidly changing digital world

There’s no hot take or final answer here — just a real-time processing of how to stay thoughtful and grounded while engaging with a tool that’s not going anywhere.
