Ep. 31: Are We Addicted to AI?

In this episode I dig into whether we're addicted to AI by examining my own switch from ChatGPT to Claude and what usage limits reveal about dependency. I break down the business models behind OpenAI's "unlimited" usage versus Anthropic's enforced limits, explore the Uber playbook of subsidized addiction, and share why both companies' controversial partnerships (OpenAI with Trump/ICE, Anthropic with Palantir) complicate the choice of which AI to use.
