AI: Will It Replace Us Or Help Us Be More Human? | Emily Paulsen & Jordache Johnson

Is AI here to take over, or help us take back our time, energy, and creativity?In this episode of Curious Life of a Childfree Woman, Emily Paulsen sat down with AI strategist Jordache Johnson, founder of Never Tech Behind to talk about what this technology is really doing to our minds, our culture, and our day-to-day choices. They talked about everything from the actual history of AI to how it's shifting our expectations of convenience, productivity, and what it means to do “good work.”This isn’t a fear-based take, it’s a grounded, human conversation about critical thinking, boundaries, and the personal responsibility we all have to use these tools with intention. —Key Takeaways:AI has been here longer than we think. The roots of artificial intelligence go back to 1949, but its current rise is reshaping society at an unprecedented pace.We’re in a cultural shift, not just a tech shift. As consumers, our expectations around speed, convenience, and personalization are changing everything.The biggest risk isn’t AI, it’s outsourcing our thinking. Jordache shares how he uses AI as a thought partner, not a decision-maker, and why critical thinking is more essential than ever.It’s not about resisting AI, it’s about being intentional. You don’t need to be a tech expert to use these tools wisely. Start with curiosity, clear boundaries, and self-awareness.Efficiency doesn’t mean less human. AI can give us back time, help us think more creatively, and support our values—if we’re willing to stay in the driver’s seat.—Host Emily Paulsen is an accomplished entrepreneur and happily childfree woman shining a light on the often overshadowed childfree-by-choice perspective.
