But what happens when they get a little too smart, too reflective of the world around us?

Mike takes a very personal route to show us the hilarious and painfully relatable ways that our digital lives are reflecting our desires, anxieties, and vanities.

That's coming up right after a short break.

And now our TED Talk of the day.

That was Mike Albo at TED Next 2025.

Hey, TED Talks Daily listeners, I'm Elise Hu.

Today, a Sunday pick episode where we share another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, handpicked by us for you.

Yesterday was World Poetry Day, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate one of the world's most ancient art forms than to share this recent episode of Design Matters.

Host Debbie Millman revisits her conversations with renowned poets Eileen Miles, Elizabeth Alexander, Sarah Kay, and Amber Tamblyn.

In the episode, she shares excerpts from these poets and their work that reflect on language, identity, memory, and the lived experience that fuels their work.

Today, they reveal poetry as an intimate and profound practice that resonates far beyond the page.
