In this episode, Michaell Magrutsche joins Idongesit for a powerful deep dive into the nuanced world of artificial intelligence, trust, and what it really means to be human in a system-led society. Michaell challenges us to question the role of AI—not as a replacement but as a tool that still requires human awareness, context, and responsibility. He shares sharp insights on AI's limitations, especially when it comes to decision-making, neurodiversity, education, and healthcare. The conversation flows into how AI affects academia, the dangers of hallucinations in language models, and why relying on these tools blindly is not only risky but deeply anti-human. If you’ve ever questioned the direction of tech or felt uneasy about systems overpowering humanity, this episode will resonate deeply. It’s more than just tech—it’s about reclaiming our one-of-one humanity. #AIawareness #HumanCentricDesign #TechEthics #EducationReform #HealthcareSystems ➤ EPISODE LINKS:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaellart/ https://michaellm.com/ https://www.facebook.com/michaellstateofart/     ➤ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro to AI and Human Use 02:00 Can We Trust AI? 06:00 Linear Thinking vs. Human Intuition 09:00 Search Frustrations and Human Oversight 13:00 Critical Thinking and Asking the Right Questions 18:00 AI's Limits with Neurodiverse and Unique Humans 21:00 AI and Academia: Is It Cheating or Evolving? 26:00 Healthcare, AI, and Contextual Knowledge 30:00 The Danger of Overreliance on AI Tools 35:00 System-Centric vs. Human-Centric Thinking 40:00 Healthcare Cannot Be a Business 44:00 Final Thoughts: You Are One of One   ➤ CHECK OUT OUR CHANNEL HERE:https://www.youtube.com/@AbegVexPodcastepisodes.fm/1743291298   ➤ SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@AbegVexPodcast/?sub_confirmation=1   ➤ DOWNLOAD EPISODE: https://open.spotify.com/show/4qiZMsvzl7adRa438zz6eThttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/abeg-vex-podcast/id1743291298   ➤ WEBSITE: https://abegvexpodcast.com   ➤ FOLLOW US ON: https://www.instagram.com/abegvexpodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/AbegVex https://www.tiktok.com/@abegvexhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/idongesit-obeya/     ➤ EXPLORE ABEG VEX PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6fJiVJiAd0oIA8zvfGcSob22O6uqcm3q   ➤ OUR PODCASTS:* Truth In Bikinis: https://youtube.com/@truthinbikinispodcast * Uproot The Issue: www.youtube.com/@UprootTheIssuePodcast * More Than Headlines: www.youtube.com/@MoreThanHeadlinesPodcast* Quest To Know: www.youtube.com/@QuestToKnowPodcast * The Intimate Matters: www.youtube.com/@TheIntimateMattersPodcast * Abeg Vex: https://www.youtube.com/@AbegVexPodcast * Unshelling Medicine: https://www.youtube.com/@AdMelioraHealth     #abegvexpodcast     **PL...

This episode is a powerful exploration of the immigrant experience in America, through the lens of author and speaker Simone W. Johnson. She shares insights from her book Decoding America and opens up about the emotional, psychological, and social challenges immigrants face while trying to “belong” in places that often reject them—even among those who look like them.
