About this listen
On this episode of The Damaged Ones, Mike Garcia and Sarah Altland dive headfirst into two modern plagues: generative AI hysteria… and people weaponizing incompetence.
Mike is fired up over the lazy take that “AI is the future” and it’s going to replace Hollywood actors, artists, and filmmakers. He breaks down why that narrative is not only exaggerated, but wildly ignorant of what’s actually happening in the creative landscape — especially when it comes to AI slop versus real craft, real performance, and real storytelling.
Meanwhile, Sarah tackles something way closer to home: people playing dumb on purpose. From “I just don’t know how to do it” energy in relationships to selective helplessness becoming normalized, she unpacks why weaponized incompetence is quietly eroding accountability — and why more people are fed up with it.
It’s heated. It’s uncomfortable. It’s honest.
