270: “In trying to go faster, we bypass embodying the skill. We are slowly decaying our critical thinking.” - Chelsea Riffe

AI was supposed to make us superhumans, right? Faster, smarter, wiser than Buddha? Instead... we're all out here copy-pasting ourselves into oblivion. In this fiery solo ep, Chelsea pulls the curtain back on AI's fascinating paradox: are we actually getting smarter… or will we be potato-brained zombies in the near future?

Snippets from the episode:

• I fully get why we wanna move faster; capitalism is running through my veins too, but… are we forgetting how to think?
• Copy might sell your program, but if your skills can’t back it up, your clients will bounce.
• If you're not fact-checking your AI outputs, this is the issue that will destroy our media consumption, because we’ll believe everything on the internet is true, no matter where it came from.
• We don't need another perfectly polished sales page written by a robot. We need YOU. Messy, weird, freaky deaky you.
• The real flex in 2025? Having human reactions, a POV and something to say from your lived experience.

Chelsea reminds us that critical thinking, human connection, and genuine life experience are going to be the most valuable currencies of the next decade. Sounding smart is one thing. Embodying your experience is another. If you're outsourcing your whole brain to ChatGPT... it might be time for an internal reboot.
