In this episode, I explore the paradox of Artificial Intelligence, not as a hero or a villain, but as a mirror. What’s really rising or falling isn’t AI itself—it’s us, the humans holding the prompt. Together, GPT-5 and I unpack how this technology can awaken creativity or quietly erode it, depending on how consciously we engage with it. Make Sense?

What you’re about to hear is not just a conversation between man and machine. It’s a collaboration between awareness and automation, a real-time experiment in creation itself.
Because here’s the question that keeps me up at night: What happens when the tools we built to extend human intelligence start to replace the act of thinking itself?

This episode isn’t about whether AI is good or bad. It’s about whether we, as humans, will rise with it—or fall asleep beneath it.

So, take a breath.

Let’s make sense… of the Rise and Fall of AI.
