(#191) After the Conversation: Is AI Slowly Making Our Decisions for Us?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Kyle Talks: After the Conversation, I reflect on my recent discussion with entrepreneur Andy Ellwood.
Andy is the founder of Stretch, a platform using artificial intelligence to help families navigate rising grocery costs by finding better prices and smarter buying decisions.
But our conversation went beyond groceries.
We talked about the future of artificial intelligence, the rise of AI agents, and the growing role technology may play in everyday decision-making.
In this episode, I step back and unpack a few things that stuck with me after the conversation:
- What I learned from Andy’s perspective as a technology founder
- The potential benefits of AI tools designed to help consumers
- The tension between convenience and control in an AI-driven world
- Whether technology is empowering people… or slowly replacing human decision-making
- Why conversations like this matter as we try to understand the future we’re building
This episode isn’t about reaching final conclusions.
It’s about thinking out loud, reflecting honestly, and inviting listeners to wrestle with these questions alongside me.
Because understanding the future requires more than quick reactions — it requires curiosity, humility, and better conversations.
