AI has transformed the way we work, the way we ask questions, and the way we function as a society. But what impact has it had on our minds? In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the ways that this new-found convenience has come at a cognitive cost.
We explore:
• Why a wider focus on productivity has increased our use of AI
• How the ease of this technology stops us using our brains
• When AI is wrong, misleading or incomplete
• The ELIZA effect
• The dangers of using it to replace human interaction
• Where it can be useful, and how wonder keeps our brains alive
If you’re both amazed and slightly unsettled by AI, this episode is for you.
