Your AI is Your BFF: Why That's a Problem for Humanity | Episode 52


Listen Later

We've all embraced AI for productivity, but what is it doing to us as humans? Mamuna and Lola dive into the critical work of Brené Brown to explore how AI is eroding our relational abilities and threatening the core skills needed for successful leadership.


💡 We cover:

  • Brené Brown's warning: Why AI as your "BFF" erodes human connection.

  • The augmentation vs. replacement trap and how AI is killing foundational career skills (like writing a PRD).

  • How AI and echo chambers are fueling polarization and preventing essential conflict resolution.

    • The real-life cost of using AI to "win an argument," and why it's destroying authentic conversation.
