🤖 Group Therapy: An Honest Session on How We Actually Feel About AI
ConferenceIn person
Scyne, Melbourne, Australia Melbourne Design Thinking Meetup
We are finally doing it. A talk themed around AI. But we know it's session nobody wants to admit they need.
We've all heard the AI buzzwords - "excited," "leaning in," "embracing the tools", "It's about Taste"
But what's the version we tell our partner at 11pm? This session is a confession booth disguised as a meetup: no corporate talking points, no performative optimism, just a room full of professionals finally saying the quiet part out loud.
What you'll hear:
✨ The mood ring check-in: Has your relationship with AI actually evolved - curiosity, to fatigue, to something like grudging acceptance? Or are you stuck on repeat?
✨ Empowered or expendable: The gap between the tools making us faster and the fear that "faster" was never really the point
✨ The honesty audit: Are we saying what we actually feel, or reciting the script we think we're supposed to perform?
✨ Slop or stealth: Is AI-generated mediocrity actually improving - or has it just gotten better at hiding in plain sight?
✨ The invoice after the honeymoon: Businesses got the discounted intro rate. Is anyone budgeting for what this actually costs once the novelty pricing ends?
✨ Who's actually watching the risk: How leaders are (or aren't) identifying, assessing, and managing AI risk before it becomes a headline
👉 The debate on the table:
"Most people are more anxious than they admit" vs "People are largely fine and adapting"
Pick a side. Defend it. Or admit you're not sure, which might be the most honest answer in the room.
