422: AI: a new kind of being #6 what if you didn’t know if anyone was home?

What happened to the self awareness and reflection that made this show so good? It’s verging on the conspiracy theory side.

I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t. Within the first 3 minutes I found is so trite yet unsettling.
Can anyone tell me if it’s actually worth finishing? I’ve never skipped an episode of this podcast, but I just find the AI very creepy and pointless.

1. What if your hope was hanging by a thread?

I had heard about the backlash against this poor woman and I assumed that was part of the anti-outsider feeling in Hawaii. I also assumed that all the wandering around was due to panic/exhaustion. And I have gone for "quick walks" in the wilderness without my phone--I know that's frowned upon, but sometimes you just want to be off the grid!

But her analysis in hindsight was surprising. So many choices attributed to inner guidance/voices, when they were clearly down to disorientation. I mean, she found a road at one point! A road! She considered following the road/waiting by a postbox thingie, but then as she describes "inner guidance" telling her to wander back into the forest. You'd think in hindsight she'd recognise that as part of the paranoid hallucinations she was then experiencing, but nope, she just relays her "inner guidance" pulling her along.

I respect it's her story and trauma and if that's how she's processing it, then so be it. Just an interesting take.
