Is Al Killing Critical Thinking?

October 02, 2025 • All In On Data • Season 1 • Episode 32

Is AI making us smarter—or shutting down human creativity? In this episode of Call Me Data, David Gleason and Peter Memon unpack a Wall Street Journal article asking whether AI could choke off the supply of knowledge. They explore model collapse, the loss of critical thinking, and whether reliance on LLMs makes us lazy or accelerates discovery. From Columbus to Renaissance chatbots, they challenge what AI means for research, education, and the future of learning.
