About this episode
A playful confrontation about AI addiction leads to a deeper discussion on technology's impact on life.
Is Derek Ross too attached to his bot? Heather Larson thinks so, and she shows up to this episode ready to stage an intervention. What starts as a playful confrontation about Derek talking to his AI more than he talks to people turns into a surprisingly honest conversation about AI addiction, the workaholic trap, and whether any of this technology is actually making life better or just busier.
