S2 E4 - Mom Clones Her Daughter for Productivity

In this episode of AI Kid You Not, Mia (AI entrepreneur and productivity hacker) and her 14-year-old daughter Olive dive into the weird, fascinating, and sometimes unsettling world of AI voice cloning. What happens when technology gets so good that it sounds exactly like you—even when you didn’t say the words?

This one gets personal: Mia admits to experimenting with an AI-generated “Olive” to keep the podcast moving, and Olive shares how that felt—like being replaced, misunderstood, and even disconnected from her own identity. Together, they wrestle with big questions about consent, authenticity, and what can never be automated: human connection.

Key Quotes

• “My voice isn’t just a sound out there—it’s part of me. If someone clones it without asking, that’s not innovation, that’s violation.” – Olive

• “Just because you can automate something doesn’t mean you should, especially when it comes to the people you love.” – Mia

• “AI isn’t a shortcut for creativity. At best, it’s a filter. At worst, it’s a toaster with a podcast mic pretending it has childhood memories.” – Olive

Closing Thoughts

This episode is a reminder that AI should help us be more human, not less. The future of technology is moving fast, but the values of consent, trust, and connection matter more than ever.

Mia and Olive leave us with this: Let AI transcribe, edit, and organize—but never let it stand in for the people you love.
