AI Is Freaking Us Out — Are We Becoming Our Parents?

from Wilko and Courts · host Wilko and Courts

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — and Courts is NOT okay about it.In this episode of the Wilko & Courts Podcast, we dive into the growing fear around AI, automation, job losses, parenting in a tech-obsessed world, and whether we’re slowly becoming the very adults we swore we wouldn’t.From AI replacing human jobs, robot plumbers, AI therapists, and kids forming emotional attachments to technology — to whether being polite to ChatGPT actually helps (or just wastes water 😬) — this episode is funny, honest, and slightly unhinged.We talk nostalgia for the 90s and early internet days, AI in film and media, Australia’s AI controversies, and the terrifying thought that creativity and personality might not even be safe anymore.Is AI helpful? Is it dangerous? Or are we just scared because we’re getting older?🎧 New episodes Sun -Thurs — like, subscribe & tell us: Are YOU scared of AI?00:00 – Welcome & end-of-year podcast vibes01:00 – Why AI scares Courts02:15 – Becoming your parents (the horror)03:30 – AI in movies & CGI vs reality05:10 – Is AI making us dumber?06:45 – Using AI for workouts & daily life08:00 – AI at work & job replacement fears09:30 – AI newsreaders in Australia10:45 – Will work become optional?12:00 – Being polite to AI… dangerous or dumb?13:40 – AI therapy & emotional dependence15:00 – Pushback against AI & history repeating16:30 – Parenting, kids & tech addiction18:00 – AI relationships & future fears19:30 – Wrapping up & final thoughts on AI#WilkoAndCourts #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #PodcastClip #TechAnxiety#AIJobs #FutureTech #MillennialTalk #AIPanic #TechFear#ParentingInTech #DigitalAge #ComedyPodcast
