MENGENAI EPISOD INI
AI was born at an academic workshop in 1956, the year before Jeff Burgess was. Seventy years later, it's a household name. The question Jeff is asking isn't whether AI works. It's whether we still know how to think without it.
In this episode, Jeff takes aim at AI dependence, starting with sixth graders who are taught to lean on it before they've learned to think for themselves, and working outward to the staggering environmental cost of the data centers powering it all (millions of gallons of water a day, with consequences nobody will understand for decades). He's not anti-technology. He's against the crutch.
Jeff also makes the case for a new kind of education entirely: a four-year, co-ed AI literacy class starting freshman year of high school, one that could end up mattering more to a graduate's future than the diploma itself.
This is a sharp, unfiltered take on where artificial intelligence is helping, where it's hollowing people out, and why a little old-fashioned human judgment still beats the algorithm. Artificial intelligence versus awful intelligence. You decide.
