We’re Offloading Our Humanity One Chatbot at a Time

In this episode, we dive deep into the uncomfortable truth about AI chatbots. They're helpful, yes but are they also replacing real human connection? From cognitive offloading to emotional dependency, we explore the psychological fallout of treating machines like therapists, friends, and mentors.  

Are we truly building smarter tools or just dumber humans?  

Featuring personal stories, cutting-edge studies, and a brutally honest conversation about where this is all headed.

Have you ever used AI for emotional support?

What did it do for you... or to you?
