Is AI making your ADHD worse? Mine was — and the scary part is, I was the one making it worse with how I used it.

I'm an ADHD creator who actually likes AI — but I've been noticing a pattern: I asked AI for a plan, it gives me back 20,000 steps. I find myself accepting plans I don’t actually agree with. I feel worse than when I started. Plus, I keep outsourcing the critical thinking part.

In this episode of AuDHentic Agents, I unpack cognitive debt, cognitive surrender, and the middle ground between all in and quitting cold turkey. Plus the tiny, four-word reflection I'm trying instead of building another system around the problem.
