72. The Robots Are Here and They Did Not Fold the Laundry

🎙️ Hot Flash Chronicles – Episode: The Robots Are Here and They Did Not Fold the Laundry 🤖🧺☕ From fantasy AI maids to real world tech anxiety, we are talking about how artificial intelligence is showing up in our lives and what we actually want it to do

In this episode, Angie and Shelly dive into the topic of AI in the most Hot Flash Chronicles way possible. It starts with cookie baking, food talk (obviously), and quickly turns into a very real conversation about how artificial intelligence is already part of our daily lives. From AI phone assistants and social media trends to fears about jobs, body image, creativity, and authenticity, this episode balances humor with thoughtful insight.

They talk about what they would love an AI clone to handle, what they never want it touching, and why intention matters more than the technology itself.
