About this episode

In this episode of Bot Boundaries, co‑hosts Jackie and Katie explore the rapid growth of AI tools like Chat GPT and Google Gemini, their user milestones, and what this means for society, business, and education. They discuss the implications of AI adoption, the backlash against AI, and the future of monetization and trust in AI technologies.

Then, in their “Love it or Leave it” segment, they weigh in on OpenAI's new ChatGPT for Teens, which includes safeguards designed to limit high-risk conversations and alert adults to certain sensitive topics. They also discuss the TikTok trend of teen friend groups using AI to write scenes and then acting them out themselves, as well as the growing debate around students relying on AI to complete their schoolwork.
