AI: Adapt or Fail

What seemed to be a new AI chatbot released in 2022 has now taken the world by storm, leaving some lost and others excited with opportunity. In this episode, I'm breaking down what it's actually doing to us: the cultural theft nobody's naming, killing critical thinking, and why every chatbot is suddenly being called a revolution.

Adapt or fail. Let's talk about it.
