About this listen

Are we getting smarter—or just outsourcing thought? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I examine how AI tools that promise efficiency may be quietly eroding our ability to think deeply. From students submitting hallucinated citations to workers letting bots handle their emails, cognitive outsourcing is becoming the new normal.


Drawing on neuroscience, education research, and Philippine realities, this episode explores the trade-offs of living in the AI age: what we lose when we stop thinking for ourselves, and what we might still gain if we learn to collaborate, not surrender, to our machines.
