Monitoring Morality: AI, Instagram & The Illusion of Being ‘Good’

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at Burger King rolling out AI technology to monitor employee “friendliness” — because nothing says authentic human warmth like algorithmic supervision. Then we talked about Instagram introducing new alerts for parents if their teen searches for suicide or self-harm related content, sparking a debate about safety, privacy, and digital responsibility. Today’s unpopular opinion was: Everyone thinks they're on the side of good. We unpacked why almost no one sees themselves as the villain — and what that means for politics, culture, and everyday conflicts. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a way to recognise the bad guy in a movie. The answers were predictable, hilarious, and slightly concerning.
