Why AI Still Glitches and Feels Off

AI isn’t just helping you write emails—it’s shaping beauty standards, influencing elections, replacing jobs, generating music, and possibly rewriting reality itself. In this unfiltered conversation, Lindsey + Krista explore the cultural, spiritual, and economic implications of artificial intelligence.

From AI influencers to blackmailing bots, autonomous coding, artificial womb technology, and the manifesto to replace human labor, this episode dives into the race toward AGI and what it means for humanity. Together, K+L explore whether AI is inevitable—or simply a narrative we’ve accepted.

This episode is all about discernment. It’s about staying human, protecting your creativity, strengthening your intuition, and deciding how you want to engage with technology in a world that feels increasingly synthetic. If you’ve felt fascinated, disturbed, or unsure about AI—this is for you. 

We also talk about:

• AI-generated porn + its impact on relationships
• The potential for emotional + relational attachment to AI technology
• How AI could shape the future of content creation, writing, and artistic voice
• Balancing AI for efficiency while protecting original thought + creativity
• How younger generations may grow up with AI as a constant companion or support system
• The economic tension between productivity gains + potential job displacement
• Why discernment + emotional intelligence may become more valuable skills in the AI era
