From Flip Phones to Flying Cars | Cyber Chat Ep. 9

This week on Cyber Chat, Alyssa and Jennifer are talking about the future of AI, from Tesla’s flying car to AI tools that promise to take personal productivity to the next level. But with everyone talking about AI, is everyone actually using it? And if AI can automate more and more of our work, how do we know when to switch off? Then it’s time for Convince Me: letting AI send messages on your behalf. Would you trust an AI agent to send a text to your friends, an internal message to your colleagues, or an external email to a customer? We’re weighing up the convenience of letting AI handle the communication against the risks of something going very wrong. And finally, it’s time for Bot or Not: Nostalgic Technology Edition! We’re taking a trip down memory lane and blind ranking nostalgic technologies from 1 to 5. The catch? We have to rank each one before finding out what’s coming next. Will our rankings hold up, or will we regret our choices? This week on Cyber Chat: Tech Talk: Tesla’s flying car, AI for personal productivity, whether everyone is really using AI, and how to switch off when everything can be automated Convince Me: Should you let AI send messages on your behalf? Bot or Not: Nostalgic Technology Edition - blind ranking technologies from 1 to 5 What we cover in this episode: Alyssa and Jennifer explore the growing world of personal productivity AI and the promise of tools that can take more tasks off our hands. From the hype around Tesla’s flying car to the reality of AI adoption, we ask whether everyone is actually embracing AI or whether the conversation is moving faster than everyday use. And as AI becomes increasingly capable of handling our work, we discuss a bigger question: if we can automate almost everything, how do we know when to log off? Next, we put AI-powered communication to the test. Would you trust AI to send messages to your friends, speak to your colleagues or email a customer without checking every word first? We unpack the convenience, the potential for awkward mistakes, and where we might draw the line between helpful automation and handing over too much control. Finally, we get nostalgic with Bot or Not! Alyssa and Jennifer blind rank nostalgic technologies from 1 to 5, making split-second decisions without knowing what’s coming next. Will the classics get the top spot, or will an unexpected contender ruin the rankings? New episodes every second Monday.
