What if the future of AI wasn't about making machines more human, but about helping humans better understand themselves? In a world increasingly shaped by frictionless communication and emotionally polished chatbots, we’re beginning to trade the messy, imperfect, deeply human textures of interaction for something eerily seamless. This podcast explores how generative AI is not just changing how we talk—it’s quietly reshaping what we value in emotional labor, empathy, and connection. From the Eliza Effect to Her and Interstellar, we dig into the cultural and ethical stakes of designing AI that doesn't just imitate us—but influences how we define ourselves.
