Episode 161: AI Calls You a User. So Do Drug Dealers. | K.G.I. Podcast

Only two industries call their customers users: drug dealers and software. Treat AI as a tool and It treats you as a user, someone who is being used. Treat It as a partner and It slowly retrains you to Its pace until you become less human. Catch-22. In this episode: why a man who can't grade his own life is trapped inside a story built on a false past, why evaluating something means taking ownership of it, and Viktor Frankl's reversal: it doesn't matter what you want from life, it matters what life wants from you. Then Donald Hoffman's headset, Socrates on learning to die, and the difference between the lazy way to become less human and the conscious way, through discipline. Life provides the events. Your job is to create the continuity between them. A writer who confesses to an AI until the line between him and the machine disappears is the story of my novel Mythos: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2ZN1TK Listen to the full episode on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/59jRb4McV1P75uLDTy53DK Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1893216528 Essays between episodes → https://kirillkhrestinin.substack.com My Work: https://kirillkhrestinin.com #AI #philosophy #ViktorFrankl #DonaldHoffman #KGIpodcast
