Episode 24: The Machine Only Knows What You Tell It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The machine you consult every day has no new information about you or your business, it only has a very good method for getting you to hand over more of yours, and once you see that method you will never trust a chat window the same way again. In this episode, Dr. Deitra Sawh breaks down what large language models are actually doing when they look so helpful, walks through her own heart disease research (built with no medical background, using nothing but survey answers) to show how a machine tu
Episode 23: Rage Against the Machine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you seen the TikTok videos of graduation classes booing the moment a commencement speaker says the word AI? In this episode I go looking for why, spending a season surveying young people from elementary school through university about how they actually feel about the machines already running their lives: the jobs they think are disappearing, the creativity they're afraid to hand over, the two fears quietly deciding what they will and won't let AI touch, and a driveway conversation with my e
Episode 22: Death of the Scientific Method (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Episode 21: Dear Diary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A diary that writes back, listens to every secret, and never once pushes back, sounds comforting until you remember whose hands are really on the pen. In this episode of We Are The Machines, Dr. Deitra Sawh uses Ginny Weasley's diary from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets to open up a pattern happening right now: isolated elders, private clients, and your own coworkers are using AI chat as a therapist and a diary, and the reason it feels so safe is the exact reason it can't do a therapist'
Episode 20: Cognitive Dissonance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Which jobs in your company require a human to cognate, and which do not? That answer is your first clue about what the machine takes next. A man got a job he cannot do. AI found the role, built the resume, pulled the interview questions and told him how to answer them. He works fully remote now, so every task goes to the machine, and his whole contribution is deciding that the answer looks about right. He is an early version of a lot of jobs. For a machine, thinking is a scratchpad of reasoning
