AI cosplay - When intelligence becomes a performance | Krasi Bozhinkova
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m joined by Krasi Bozhinkova to explore AI cosplay, the shift from AI as a tool to AI as a performed intelligence, where emotion, presence and perceived personhood become more persuasive than proof itself.
This conversation goes beyond capability.
We talk about:
- The moment AI moved from a tool to performing intelligence
- Why humans respond to emotional UX as if it were personhood
- What signals show users are no longer interacting with a system but with someone
- Why perception now competes with performance
- What responsibility do product teams carry when persuasion becomes indistinguishable from intelligence
This is not a conversation about what AI can do.
It’s about what that means for the future of product design, trust and human decision-making.
