Welcome to Joint Logic — where humans still matter… for now.
In this episode, Jason and Leah dig into the big question: Is artificial intelligence making our lives better, or slowly taking them over?

We explore the fear factor of AI, the good and bad of its impact on daily life, what it means for creative industries like music and art, how CEO narratives shape the AI boom, and how technology is quietly changing the way we relate to one another.

We also talk about AI-generated music, job displacement vs. job creation, ethical risks for young people, and even let AI write its own poem about itself (things get very meta).

If you’re curious, concerned, optimistic, or confused about the role of AI in our world — this episode is for you.

📌 Key Topics:
• How scared should we be of AI? (Fear Factor Scale)
• The best & worst uses of AI today
• AI in creative work — especially music
• CEOs & the “AI will create millions of jobs” narrative
• How AI subtly affects friendships & personal relationships
• The emotional risks of mistaking AI for human connection
• An AI-generated poem… and a hot take review of it
• What AI is teaching us about asking better questions

🎧 Next Episode: Money & Work — an existential but practical look at how people today relate to meaning, purpose, and making a living.
