Season 4 Finale: Our Most Controversial AI Takes
We wrap up Season 4 of the Behavioral Design Podcast with a different kind of conversation. Instead of looking outward at our guests’ insights, Aline and Samuel turn the mic on themselves, reflecting on the season, what we’ve learned, and the boldest, most controversial opinions we hold about AI.
From questions about whether AI can truly emulate human qualities to fears of a future where we slowly de-skill ourselves by over-relying on machines, this episode is part reflection, part confessional.
Highlights include:
A look back at the season’s most surprising and provocative guest takes on AI
Why AI optimism often lives closest to where experts work—and where skepticism still lingers
The heated debate over AI companions: comforting helpers or human connection killers?
Our personal, unfiltered takes on AI’s hidden risks, including cognitive offloading and the myth of collaboration
The strange and perhaps surprisingly useful role of AI “oracles” in our own lives
This is the perfect sendoff for Season 4: A candid, wide-ranging discussion about the future of AI, human behavior, and what it all means for how we live, think, and connect.
