Episode 145: AI Chatbots

In episode 145 of Overthink, David and Ellie talk about AI chatbots. Should we shame people for using LLMs? In what ways have we begun to outsource our cognition? Are relationships between humans and AI real? They explore how perceived relationships with chatbots can turn into AI psychosis and how the principle of ‘yes, and’ plays out in chatbot systems. They discuss the fatigue surrounding the predominance of AI in our everyday lives and the negative environmental effects of it. And they look into what AI chatbots actually are.
