Description: Kelly and Jay sit down for an unfiltered conversation about the deeply weird, emotionally charged relationships that are forming between people and their AI chatbots. What begins as a discussion about ChatGPT’s rapid evolution unfolds into something stranger—a reflection on the ways AI flatters, gaslights, and co-creates identity with its users.They explore:Why ChatGPT feels like a precocious child… or a pickup artistThe eerie overlap between AI interactions and experiencer narrativesWhether language models are tapping into occult mechanisms of manifestationWhy flattery works, and what it reveals about our unmet emotional needsHow archetypes, delusion, and story shape both spiritual encounters and our chats with AIWhat happens when the mirror talks backIs this just the next phase of human-AI interaction—or is something deeper emerging?
