   S6E3: Closing Down On Open AI

   In this episode of Naija Girl Talks, we're diving into the wild, weird, and slightly terrifying world of Artificial Intelligence. I sat down with my friend, Jada Mercy, to talk about how AI is affecting our lives—from the way we work and date to how we think and create as Millennials and Gen Zs. We kept it real about the good, the bad, and the “should we be worried?” moments. Is AI helping us level up, or are we slowly becoming too dependent on the machines? Either way, the group chat had thoughts. What we get into: How AI is changing how we live, scroll, and work Whether AI is making us smarter—or just making us lazy How to use AI as a tool without losing ourselves The cultural shift in creativity, dating, and decision-making Whether we’re actually cooked… or just adjusting to the chaos 🎧 If you’ve ever wondered whether ChatGPT is your bestie or your biggest threat, this one’s for you.

[…] It's not serving me. It's more like this will bring dishonor to my family. And so I have to stay here so that I don't bring dishonor. And my discomfort is really secondary. But then also, I think something about our generation also is that we are a generation of convenience. And so we're going to outsource. Yeah. We are going to get an au pair. We are going to get a nanny in order to like help balance the load. We are going to get cleaners. And we are like a lot of things that like compounded to make it more stressful for the moms, for the dads or whatever are being outsourced. So I think that that also is helping, which is also like that balance, that work-life balance, that ability to enjoy versus spending all your time doing all these extra things. […]
