Is AI Making Us Dumber? A Prompt Cowboy Weighs In

from Ricki‑Lee & Tim · host Nova Podcasts

Henry Badgery from Prompt Cowboy, Australia's largest AI platform, comes in with cowboy hats for everyone and answers the question we have all been quietly wondering: is AI actually making us dumber? His honest answer is yes, if you let it think for you. But used correctly it is genuinely empowering, and Ricki proves it by using ChatGPT to successfully fight a $300 parking fine she never would have contested on her own. Listeners ask if AI will eventually turn on us and Henry says don't worry about the Hollywood version, the bigger problem is what happens to human purpose when AI does all the work. His personal AI of choice for serious tasks is Claude by Anthropic, which he says is far more intelligent than the others. We are not biased.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
