AI vs parental advice in a changing world raises an important question: would teenagers trust artificial intelligence more than their own parents?
In this episode of the Making a Man Podcast, Kevin and Axel explore how AI is changing the way young people learn, seek advice, and make decisions. From using artificial intelligence for schoolwork to questioning whether AI could eventually replace teachers, the father-son duo shares two different generational perspectives on growing up in a rapidly changing world.
But technology isn't the only thing on their minds.
Kevin and Axel also get into an honest, often funny conversation about parenting with high expectations, academic pressure, responsibility, and teenage independence. From an unexpected school sunflower seed incident to losing skateboard privileges over grades, they explore the balance between discipline and freedom.
