In this fun weekend episode of AI Desk, Rowan and Naya debate whether AI is actually dangerous—or just frustrating to use.

Can you really “just unplug” AI if things go wrong? Why do chatbots keep telling you to take a break? And is Claude actually slower on weekends, or is it just your imagination?

From hilarious real-world AI frustrations to deeper questions about how AI systems work, this episode blends humor with insight.

In this episode:

• Can AI be turned off or unplugged?

• Is AI dangerous or just overhyped?

• Why AI tells you to take breaks

• Real chatbot frustrations (we’ve all been there)

• Is Claude slowing down lately?

If you’ve ever argued with a chatbot… this episode is for you.
