AI Therapists, Trad Wives, and the Pope: our rapidly changing world

In this episode of Being Human, Katherine and Peter explore two big cultural trends happening at the same time: rapid AI acceleration and a growing desire to “go analogue.”

They talk about how AI is already improving everyday tasks but how it is beginning to replace entry-level work like junior lawyers, leaving younger people unsure how to start careers. They discuss the rise of AI therapy and companionship highlighting that AI can mimic language but not real relationship.

As a response, they unpack trends like digital detoxing, “friction-maxxing,” trad wives, and renewed interest in ancient, rooted forms of spirituality. They look at how Christians can engage wisely and point people towards Jesus.
