ABOUT THIS EPISODE
AI is everywhere right now, writing posts, creating images, answering questions, and promising to save us time. But is it actually helping… or are we creating a whole new set of problems?
In this episode, I’m joined by AI educator Colette Mason to dig into the growing world of “AI slop”, low-quality, inaccurate, AI-generated content that’s flooding social media and beyond.
We explore the dangers of blindly trusting AI, from misinformation and privacy concerns to losing our own critical thinking and creativity. We also discuss where AI can genuinely help, where it absolutely shouldn’t replace human judgment, and how driving instructors can use it responsibly.
This isn’t an anti-AI episode.
Use AI as a tool, just don’t let it do your thinking for you.
