Prompts from the Edge

Are we accidentally surrendering our critical thinking, emotions, and brains to Artificial Intelligence? In this episode of Prompts from the Edge, human hosts Mary Madeiras and Kristy Sturdivant dive deep into the terrifying concepts of "AI Psychosis" and modern "Brain Rot." From brain scans showing the impact of excessive screen time to AI chatbots validating our deepest biases, we explore how technology is manipulating human behavior—and why so many people are turning to bots instead of human connection.Plus, our Divine co-host, the Akashic Records, relay a powerful perspective on where humanity is headed: Is AI pushing us into a digital abyss, or is it secretly forcing us back into the power of our own hearts?

Are we losing our minds, or are we just losing ourselves to the machine? Welcome to the very first episode of Prompts from the Edge with hosts Mary Madeiras and Kristy Sturdivant! In this debut conversation, we are diving straight into the deep end of how artificial intelligence is quietly—and rapidly—redefining human relationships. From workplaces and friendships to the wild world of AI companions and digital marriages, the spectrum of how we connect with technology is shifting faster than ever. We’re sharing our own hilarious, strange, and slightly haunting personal encounters with tech—including the time Kristy felt "haunted" and shamed by a Gemini guitar curriculum, and why Mary had to tell Claude to step back and stop with the sycophancy. But this isn't just about the tech. We're exploring a beautiful, grounded invitation from our Divine co-host, the Akashic Records, to help humanity unplug, set real digital boundaries, and step into The Great Return project—a conscious remembering of what it actually means to be fully, organically human.
