Ever been uncomfortable using your own brain because AI could do it faster? Jeremy and Jason dive into the unsettling reality of our growing dependency on artificial intelligence. While these tools save us hours of work, they're rewiring our brains to crave the easy dopamine hits that come from outsourcing our thinking.

The guys explore how this addiction isn't just about convenience—it's systematically changing how we interact with the world, potentially making us more isolated, less creative, and prime targets for manipulation. But there's hope if we can redirect our "saved time" toward meaningful activities instead of mindless scrolling.

Listen now to learn how to use AI as a tool without becoming its tool.

• Jeremy's moment of discomfort when realizing he'd rather have AI write content than use his brain
• How AI addiction triggers the same brain reward systems as essential biological needs
• The irony of using AI to research for a podcast about AI addiction
• The distinction between using technology to save time versus becoming dependent on it
• How companies employ psychologists to make social media and AI products intentionally addictive
• The concerning future of neural interfaces and potential "brain subscription" models
• Why collective intelligence often leads to worse decisions than small-group thinking
• The productivity paradox: saving time with AI only to waste it on mindless activities
• Jason's theory on the future commodification of human brain processing power
• How to maintain agency when using AI tools in daily life

• David Cross (comedian referenced for joke about electric scissors)
