ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this solo episode, I explore the rapidly shifting AI landscape. I share why opt‑out (vs. opt-in) AI concerns me, potential environmental and creative harms, and how unchecked reliance on AI can weaken our critical thinking. I also offer an honest look at the ways I do use AI, along with simple practices to help you stay grounded, thoughtful, and human in an AI‑driven world.
In this episode:
- The current AI landscape and why “opt‑out” matters
- Environmental impacts of large‑scale AI use
- How AI affects critical thinking
- Harms to writers, musicians, and other creatives
- What I personally use AI for
- Four questions to ask before using AI
