1 in 4 Americans would rather talk to AI than a therapist. Here's why.
In this episode, we dive into emotional intelligence from a machine that doesn’t actually feel. Why are people pouring their hearts out to language models—and why do these AIs sound more empathetic than your average human?

🔍 Based on research from Tebra’s study on AI in healthcare, we're seeing a real shift in how people perceive artificial intelligence—not just as a tool, but as a listener.

But here’s the twist: AI doesn’t care. It just predicts.
We break down the mechanics of token prediction, next-word sampling, and how large language models simulate emotional depth—without actually having feelings.

🧠 Learn how AI breaks down sentences like "I feel overwhelmed" into weighted fragments to generate seemingly compassionate replies.
