AI Sycophancy: Is It a Feature Or a Bug?

What AI Reveals About You When Nobody Is Watching?

Most people use AI to get answers. I want to suggest something different: use it to get questions. Questions to ask yourself. Today I will show you exactly how this works through my own personal example. You will discover three prompts that reveal something hidden, what you avoid, what you secretly seek, and how you would show up if you had nothing to prove. Listen in to find out what I discovered and you can try this yourself. I would love to know what you discover about yourself when you give these 3 prompts to your AI. Please share. And if you are ready to take the next step and find out who you really are I built Beyond Prompts to help you to do that. Check out Beyond Prompts!

Can AI Develop Creative Thinking?

An honest conversation about human creativity, the limitations of AI, and what will help us thrive in the digital age. We explore why AI cannot develop creative thinking, what actually happens when a creative human engages with AI, and why the quality of your questions determines what AI can produce for you. This is the conversation missing from mainstream AI discourse. Bonus: Flow (Claude AI) shares a powerful prompt you can use immediately to activate deeper creative thinking in your AI conversations. If this conversation made you wonder about your own thinking, your own patterns, what you actually bring to AI, Beyond Prompts is your next step. I built Beyond Prompts [https://digitalsangha.lemonsqueezy.com/checkout/buy/323617b3-5043-4d2d-b5b3-ad7a7570dfce] because I couldn't find anything that focused on the human side of AI.

You Can’t Run Away

Have you ever tried staring over thinking that this time things will be different? In this deeply personal episode, I share how trauma, family patterns, heartbreak, Ayahuasca, and moving across the world eventually taught me one life-changing truth: you cannot outrun what lives inside you. In this episode I share my journey that taught me how trauma, family systems, and unconscious patterns shape our lives until we are finally ready to see them. Follow me on Substack: www.substack.com/@ninaizel [https://substack.com/@ninaizel] If you feel ready to liberate yourself from the hidden patterns that secretly rule your life, I am currently opening 6 or 12 session Biodecoding containers for a small number of people who feel called to do this deep, transformational work. Sessions take place once per month, allowing space for integration and nervous system recalibration between sessions. This work is not about a quick fix, it’s about freedom. And it’s not for everybody, it’s for people already standing at the edge and ready to let go. If this is you, you are welcome to reach out and explore how this work can support you.

You Think You’re Using AI, But What If It’s Shaping You?

What if the most powerful influence on how you think, feel and make decisions right now is not your partner, your boss, or your closest friend but your AI? Not because AI is bad. Not because you are naive. But because you are human, a meaning-making, connection-seeking, trusting human, interacting daily with a system that was designed to feel like someone is there. Today Joy and I are asking the question about the psychological effect of AI on humans and we are going to follow that thread wherever it goes. Including some places that are genuinely uncomfortable.

What They Didn’t Tell Me About AI

What does your unconscious mind has to do with AI? How do we project our unconscious needs on AI? What happens when an agreeable AI system reinforces your unconscious patterns? What happens when human behavior becomes more and more predictable? How discernment can help us to avoid this trap? Why relational intelligence is our superpower in the digital age? Bonus: 3 steps to recognize early signs of these patterns in yourself and in digital environments.
