Domo Arigato, Mister Roboto? — Is AI the Problem, or Are We?

Living the Tao-A Spiritual Podcast

Show Notes

Is artificial intelligence the danger—or is it revealing an older human problem?

Master Mikel Steenrod and Morgan examine AI as an intelligent library, a tool shaped by social mind, and a possible necessity for solving problems beyond ordinary human capacity. The episode explores ancient Taoist mechanical-man stories, humanity’s misuse of technology, and the uncomfortable possibility that we may depend on AI even as it is used against us.
