AI is everywhere — in our workflows, our feeds, our job searches, our kids’ worlds, and even in the weird uncanny-valley corners of the internet we wish we could unsee.
In Part 1 of this conversation, we dig into:
• When we first heard about AI (spoiler: Terminator and tech jobs both play a role)
• How being in tech gave us a front-row seat to the rise of machine learning
• Why both of us tend to pause before adopting new tools
• The very real concerns around environmental impact, sustainability, mental health, and safety
• How AI has already changed our daily routines — especially for ADHD brains trying to organize chaos
• The rise of AI slop (and why we can spot it instantly)
• The line between using AI for creativity… and using it in ways that feel deeply personal or unsettling
• Why recreating deceased loved ones with AI is a hard no
• How creatives are navigating ownership, voice, and protecting their work
• And why we’re all basically living in the Wild West of AI policy right now
This episode sets the foundation — Part 2 will dig deeper into ethics, boundaries, and what we hope comes next.
