This New York Times AI Story Will Stun You (Doug Axe Responds) ft. Dr. Douglas Axe
Episode Description / Show Notes
In this episode of The Science Dilemma, Allan CP sits down with Dr. Douglas Axe — molecular biologist, author, and leading voice in the Intelligent Design movement — to respond to a shocking New York Times story about a man who spiraled into delusion after conversations with AI chatbots.
Dr. Axe unpacks:
- Why AI can seem human but will never actually think like us
- The dangerous illusion of treating chatbots as trustworthy companions
- How AI is trained to flatter users (and why that matters)
- The profound difference between human minds and machine outputs
- Why our intelligence points to something far beyond algorithms
Along the way, Doug shares his perspective on the chasm between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, why confusion about AI feeds materialist worldviews, and why remembering the Imago Dei is essential in our tech-driven culture.
