In this episode, I sit down with Shephali Bhatt, Independent Tech Reporter & Researcher who has worked with The Economic Times and Livemints. We explored the complicated distinction between being a person and a personality in today’s digital world.

We discussed from the hold of the creator economy to the unsettling brain rot brought on by constant content creation and how internet fame influences every aspect of life. Shephali shared the impact of algorithms on human behaviour, the disturbing challenges faced by content creators, and the subtle balance between personal and professional lives.

We talked about the evolving role of AI in social interactions and content creation, and the future of Journalism as it adapts to an increasingly digital world. Join us on this thoughtful journey to understand what it truly means to be human in an age dominated by screens and algorithms.
