JUN 2, 202621 MIN

Description

In this conversation, Sabine and I explore the hidden traps that can come with becoming highly productive with AI.  From burnout and constant task completion to losing confidence in skills we've spent years developing, we discuss the subtle ways technology can influence how we think, create, and show up in the world. We also talk about the importance of staying connected to our humanity, protecting our ability to think critically, and ensuring that AI remains a tool that serves us—not something that takes over the parts of ourselves that matter most. If you've ever felt the pressure to do more because AI makes everything faster, or you've wondered whether you're becoming too dependent on technology, this episode is for you.  In this episode:  Why productivity can become an unexpected trap   The danger of outsourcing skills you're already good at   How AI can create an echo chamber of your own thinking   The connection between AI, burnout, and unrealistic expectations   Why confidence can erode when we stop practicing our own abilities   How to use AI intentionally without losing your creativity and critical thinking   The question we all need to ask ourselves: How much is enough?
