Bot Boundaries

Welcome to Bot Boundaries, hosted by Jackie and Katie, where we explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.  The 21st century has been defined by speed. Technology has given us access and deeper reach but it also raised new questions about attention spans, whether we can trust what we’re seeing, and how we can find balance in our lives.  Now, as artificial intelligence pushes us into a new frontier of work and creativity, we find ourselves learning in real time, without a clear roadmap. What matters most isn’t just what we can build, but how we thoughtfully choose to move forward together, keeping our friends, our neighbors, our children top of mind in the race towards advancing AI autonomy. We’re bringing our combined experience across entrepreneurship, marketing, and sales to unpack the big questions: trust, innovation, balance, and what it means to build a future we actually want. Join us as we dive into hot topics across tech, business, culture and the human side of it all—serving up value in every episode.

    AI Influencers at Coachella 2026: Are Brands Trading Authenticity for Scale? S1 EP16

    In this episode of Bot Boundaries, co-hosts Jackie and Katie dive into how AI and social media content are reshaping festival culture from the vibe, to the visuals, to what we even consider “real.” They trace Coachella’s evolution from the no‑phones era to a world where AI influencers rack up DMs like headliners, and where the illusion gap between online and on‑the‑ground experiences keeps getting wider. They even get into the good stuff, like how AI is powering experiential photo booths and more. Then they jump into their Love It or Leave It segment, reviewing everything from robots with dog bodies and billionaire‑realistic faces roaming the streets, to whether Ray‑Ban Meta glasses are actually cool or just giving undercover‑creep energy, to an AI‑animated CeraVe bottle on TikTok with a cartoon mouth and eyes flipping from angry to surprised. Did it hit the mark or totally miss? They get into all of it.

Welcome to Bot Boundaries, hosted by Jackie and Katie, where we explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.  The 21st century has been defined by speed. Technology has given us access and deeper reach but it also raised new questions about attention spans, whether we can trust what we’re seeing, and how we can find balance in our lives.  Now, as artificial intelligence pushes us into a new frontier of work and creativity, we find ourselves learning in real time, without a clear roadmap. What matters most isn’t just what we can build, but how we thoughtfully choose to move forward together, keeping our friends, our neighbors, our children top of mind in the race towards advancing AI autonomy. We’re bringing our combined experience across entrepreneurship, marketing, and sales to unpack the big questions: trust, innovation, balance, and what it means to build a future we actually want.
