Welcome to episode 165 of the AI for Career Success podcast from Curt Robbins. This educational content is designed to give working professionals who leverage AI as a tool for efficiency and productivity a competitive edge.

In this episode, hosts Daphne and Fred unpack a January 4 article from show producer Curt Robbins entitled "How Stand-up Comedy is Decoding Our AI Anxiety" that was published on LinkedIn.

Robbins explores how stand-up comedians are increasingly using their platforms to address widespread societal fears regarding artificial intelligence and digital culture. While tech humor was once a specialized niche, it has now moved into the mainstream.

Performers such as Bo Burnham and Hasan Minhaj critique the commodification of human experience and the ethics of big tech. These entertainers serve as modern translators, using social satire and absurdist performance to help audiences process the anxiety of automation and the potential for technological displacement.

By mocking corporate jargon and the limitations of generative algorithms, comics provide a vital human perspective that counters the utopian narratives often pushed by Silicon Valley leaders.

Ultimately, Robbins suggests that humor is a necessary tool for navigating a future where the lines between human creativity and machine logic continue to blur.
