AI is changing everything. But are we losing something essential in the process?Imagine this: You ask a chatbot how its weekend was. It responds in a way that feels human—but does it really understand?Now, picture a doctor second-guessing their diagnosis. One moment, it's X. Then maybe it's Y. Then back to X again. That’s what AI is like right now—impressive, yes, but also flawed, inconsistent, and not always reliable.Welcome to episode 104 of TIE Unearthed.
