In this episode, Camellia and Celia dive headfirst into the weird, wild, and surprisingly emotional world of artificial intelligence in our personal lives. From chatbots becoming “digital soulmates” to AI-powered parenting hacks, they explore how loneliness, tech addiction, and post-COVID disconnection are reshaping relationships and family dynamics.
The duo tackles emotional cheating (yes, even with robots), the mental load AI can ease for moms, and why delaying smartphones might be the healthiest move for our kids. They keep it real with personal stories, cultural commentary, and the ultimate question: Are we connecting more or less with the people who matter most?
