Episode 56: Genuine Affection Beats Artificial Intelligence


“Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.” — C.S. Lewis, 1960 


We spend an awful lot of time trying to figure out how to best use ChatGPT and marveling at the things AI can do for us.

But one thing we can do for each other is to show our affection. Call it kindness, decency, empathy, or any other name, the point remains: we have within us something that AI can never replicate.
