In this episode of The Fit Mess, Jeremy and Jason dive into the complicated relationship between artificial intelligence and human critical thinking.

Starting with a viral debate about how many humans it would take to defeat a gorilla, they explore deeper questions about information reliability, learning shortcuts, and maintaining intellectual autonomy in an AI-saturated world.

The conversation examines why even tech-savvy young adults are skeptical of AI tools, how these tools compare to historical learning shortcuts like Cliff Notes and textbooks, and what Neil deGrasse Tyson's prediction about AI destroying internet credibility means for our information ecosystem.

Most importantly, Jeremy and Jason discuss practical approaches to using AI productively while maintaining your critical thinking skills.

You'll learn why the question you ask matters more than the answer you get, how to evaluate AI outputs critically, and why your unique human perspective remains irreplaceable.

Key topics covered:

- The viral "gorillas vs humans" debate as an entry point to discussing AI reliability
- Comparing AI-generated summaries to traditional shortcuts like Cliff Notes
- How our brains and AI both use inference models to process information
- Why beliefs are harder to change than ideas, and how this affects our use of AI
- The Common Core math controversy as an example of resistance to new approaches
- Neil deGrasse Tyson's prediction about AI destroying internet credibility
- The importance of questioning outputs from any information source
