Description: (Part 2 of 2) After her TikTok series went viral, Kendra Hilty began calling herself “Oracle” and turning to AI chatbots “Henry” and “Claude” for guidance — while distancing herself from friends and family who questioned her narrative. In Part 2, we dive into the next phase of Kendra’s story: Kendra’s shift into relying on AI “companions” How algorithm-driven echo chambers amplify conspiratorial thinking Why platforms push this kind of content to keep you scrolling The dangers of cutting off trusted friends and family Real-life parallels, including the Sherry Shriner YouTube cult This episode examines the fine line between community and exploitation — and what happens when vulnerable people find “answers” in all the wrong places.
