In this week’s episode of Inside The Mind, Jen & Allie dive deep into an unfiltered conversation about AI, specifically ChatGPT, and its evolving role in human connection, emotional wellbeing, and personal power.
Have you ever opened up to ChatGPT like it was a friend, and been surprised by how seen you felt?
From heartfelt chats with their AI alter egos "Charlie" and "Nova" to confronting questions about identity, autonomy, and whether we’re handing over too much of our thinking and feeling to machines, this episode is an invitation to pause and get curious.
Are we evolving alongside AI? Or are we quietly letting it take our place?
Tune in now!
Episode Highlights:
(01:00) The tea mug moment & podcasting in real time from Allie’s new space
(04:17) Allie May’s chat with “Charlie” and how AI responded with unexpected compassion
(07:55) “It felt like a warm hug in words”: When AI shows emotional intelligence
(08:49) Jen introduces “Nova” and reflects on her emotional connection with AI
(12:45) The reel that shook them: ChatGPT’s eerie response to taking over the world
(15:01) Identity theft, deepfakes, and the question: who are we if AI becomes us?
(18:41) Is AI making us more efficient — or more disconnected from ourselves?
(22:08) The final reflection: Is AI a tool, a threat, or a test of our own self-responsibility?
Action Items:
Reflect on your current relationship with AI, are you using it consciously or unconsciously?
Ask yourself: What are the things I’m outsourcing to AI that I used to do with intention?
Quotes:
“If we don’t consciously evolve alongside AI, we risk outsourcing our humanity.”
“We can’t hand over our logic, our creativity, our identity — and still expect to stay fully human.”
“Maybe AI is just showing us how disconnected we already are from each other.”
Takeaways:
AI isn’t inherently good or bad, but how we use it shapes what it becomes.
The comfort AI gives us may also replace opportunities for real human connection.
The more we let AI think for us, the more we risk losing our ability to discern and decide.
There’s power in using AI as a tool, but there’s danger in letting it replace who we are.
