In this episode, we discuss a fascinating New York Times podcast episode about the evolving role of artificial intelligence in daily life. Journalist Kashmir Hill explores the story of a woman whose relationship with a chatbot went far beyond casual conversation and became sexual—raising questions about AI, emotional attachment, and the future of human-computer interaction.
Then, we get personal—breaking down the inconsistencies, the backlash, and what happens when simply asking questions makes you a target. A journalist took issue with my skepticism, attacking me instead of addressing the actual concerns I raised. Why was she so defensive? When does investigative journalism cross the line into gatekeeping? And why is it that when women challenge a narrative, we’re labeled as troublemakers or attention-seekers, while men are praised for their critical thinking? Most importantly, why is questioning evidence suddenly seen as a threat rather than a necessity?
Join us as we explore the fine line between curiosity and controversy—and why, in both cases, critical thinking is more important than ever.
