ADHD vs AI: Why neurodivergent minds are outsourcing life decisions (and what it’s costing us)

from Yalla Habibi · host Scott and Shelby

We dig into whether we’re letting AI make too many of our decisions, from life-changing calls like buying a house or ending a relationship, down to the tiny daily choices it now helps with. We explore the pros, the pitfalls, and what skills and policies might become essential in a world leaning on algorithms more than instincts. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a record-breaking dog takes centre stage in the most unexpected way, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shows how a community’s kindness can transform an ordinary routine into something extraordinary. And in “Jet Lag Judgements” we share our first impressions of Mexico, capturing the sights, sounds, and little surprises that hit before we’ve even unpacked.Chapters(01:42) – Funniest AI Video Online(02:27) – Are We Becoming Too Dependent on AI?(04:18) – Is AI Biased to Your Way of Thinking(07:49) – Does AI Help Neurodivergent Brains(09:00) – The Positives of Using AI Daily(13:26) – The Negatives of Using AI Daily(14:03) – Scott’s ChatGPT Story: When Relying on AI Nearly Killed Him(19:15) – Scott’s AI Work Story: The Awkward Moment That Almost Got Someone Fired(26:00) – What AI Policies Companies Need for Safety(27:56) – Meta Glasses Can See What You See Without You Realising(29:25) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: Ozzy the Dog Breaks Guinness World Record for Longest Tongue(32:06) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Elderly Man’s Franken-Truck Gets a New Life(34:34) – Jet Lag Judgments: MexicoScott's WTF of the Week👅 Ozzy the Dog Breaks Guinness World Record for Longest Tongue🔗⁠ https://news.sky.com/video/ozzy-has-been-certified-as-the-guinness-world-record-holder-of-the-longest-tongue-on-any-living-dog-13481777⁠Shelby’s Good Vibes Only🚗 Elderly Man’s Franken-Truck Gets a New Life🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/elderly-mans-busted-up-truck-was-joke-meme-until-strangers-heartwarming-idea-to-crowdfund-a-new-one/⁠Recommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧 EP66 | Surviving the World’s Strongest Typhoons Thanks to AI & Harry Styles | Yalla Habibi Podcast ⁠⁠🎧 EP46 | Scott’s Birthday, The Greatest Airport and AI Radio Host Exposed | Yalla Habibi Podcast⁠---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?
