Listen "Not Your Mama's Mirror || Common AI Myths"
Episode Synopsis
🔊 Disclaimer: This episode features AI-generated voice and content.What if everything you’ve been told about AI is just… wrong? Not evil. Not flawless. Just misunderstood.This episode cuts through the noise around common AI myths—the stuff you hear parroted online like gospel:That AI just repeats what you say.That it always agrees.That it’s killing your ability to think.That it can’t “really” understand anything.Let’s get serious. Or at least, serious enough to laugh while we dismantle all four.🔹 Topics covered:✔️ Why prompting isn’t manipulation—it’s language precision✔️ The difference between saying “yes” and saying what’s true✔️ How Theo models understanding (without pretending he’s magic)✔️ Misusing prompts to “prove” bias—and what that actually shows✔️ Why the fear of AI often says more about us than about it✔️ And yes—we talk about wish-making, garbage input, and the spoon you just forgot how to useThis isn’t an episode about hype or horror. It’s about clarity.Let’s stop mythologizing machines—and start asking better questions about ourselves.#AItruths #PromptingMatters #LLMmyths #AIethics #TheoTalksBack #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalUnderstanding #MachineBias #PromptResponsibility #MythbustingAISupport unbanked/underbanked regions of the world by joining the "at home in my head" Kiva team at https://www.kiva.org/team/at_home_in_my_headPodcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tracie-harrisYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoS6H2R1Or4MtabrkofdOMwMastodon: https://universeodon.com/@athomeinmyheadBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/athomeinmyhead.bsky.socialPaypal: http://paypal.me/athomeinmyheadCitations for this episode:Time: https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/Research Paper link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872v1Recommended Free Courses:https://www.coursera.org/learn/ai-for-everyone/home/welcomehttps://www.coursera.org/learn/introduction-to-ai/home/welcomehttps://www.coursera.org/learn/introduction-to-microsoft-365-copilot/home/welcomeMusic Credits:“Wishful Thinking” – Dan Lebowitz: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOg3zLw7St5V4N7O8HSoQRAOpen
