Should We Be Freaking Out About AI?

The Lonely Liberal

AI is everywhere: writing articles, creating art, diagnosing diseases, and even helping run our daily lives. But should we be excited, cautious, or downright terrified? In this episode, I chat with PhD researcher Ivo Young for a casual but thoughtful conversation about artificial intelligence: what it actually is, where it stands today, the big opportunities it offers, and the risks that keep people up at night.

We break down the hype versus reality, discuss the pros and cons, and share our own perspectives on whether we should be freaking out or just learning how to adapt. From creative breakthroughs to job disruption, deepfakes to medical miracles, we cover the future of AI in a way that’s approachable, smart, and fun.

If you’ve ever wondered “is AI really as scary as everyone says?” this episode is for you.
