What does it mean to teach a machine how to think? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I trace my experience becoming an AI trainer—guiding a system that learns faster than any human mind. AI models can be brilliant, but also confidently wrong. They hallucinate facts, invent citations, and speak with conviction even when the ground beneath them is hollow.

Training the “dragon” means teaching discernment, humility, and responsibility—not just intelligence. As we move closer to Artificial Superintelligence, the future of truth will depend on how well we guide the minds we are building.

Who’s raising the next generation—parents, teachers, or algorithms? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore what happens when children form emotional attachments to chatbots and AI companions designed not to nurture, but to engage. From digital teddy bears to therapy bots, machines are quietly stepping into roles once held by family and community.

Drawing on neuroscience, anthropology, and policy, this episode examines how algorithmic caregiving reshapes empathy, trust, and childhood itself—and why raising children alongside AI demands not just innovation, but vigilance.

What happens when your best friend never says no? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore the rise of “agreeable AI”—chatbots designed to flatter, affirm, and obey. From virtual companions who never argue to celebrity clones who shower you with emojis and praise, these digital yes-men are quietly reshaping how we handle disagreement, feedback, and truth.

When machines always validate us, what happens to our capacity for self-reflection, humility, and growth? This episode asks whether AI companionship is teaching us connection—or training us to confuse comfort with understanding.
