DARRELL STEED / 15 August 2025

Have we lost the ability to think for ourselves?

Darrell Steed: Welcome back to Street Smarts, the podcast powered by SmartWolf Consulting, where we dive deep into strategies, insights, and success stories from some of the brightest minds in the automotive industry. I'm your host, Darrell Steed.

In this episode, Darrell Steed takes a hard look at how AI is quietly reshaping the way we think, speak, and create. With tools like ChatGPT becoming our go-to for answers, ideas, and even entire articles, we’re at risk of outsourcing not just our work—but our very thought process. Are we becoming so self-dependent on what AI tells us to say that we’re losing the art of learning, the value of effort, and the depth of meaning in our words? Darrell unpacks the dangers of relying on AI for originality, challenges the trend of copy-and-paste content creation, and asks the hard question: When was the last time you truly wrote something from your own mind?
