The Emotional Side Effects of Always-On AI
We live in a world where help is always just a prompt away. From writing emails to filling the silence with a joke from Alexa, Artificial Intelligence has become our ever-present assistant. But what happens when that constant support starts to blur the lines between help and replacement?
In this episode, we explore the emotional side effects of always-on AI. From the comfort it provides, to the quiet erosion of self-trust, to the disappearance of boredom (and why that matters more than you think), we’ll unpack how digital sidekicks are reshaping not just productivity—but our sense of self.
You’ll hear personal stories, surprising research, and practical ways to reclaim your own voice while still enjoying the benefits of AI. Because at the end of the day, the best connection isn’t your Wi-Fi—it’s the one you keep with yourself.
