E55 The End of Language Learning - Advanced English Listening Practice

When AI can podcast, teach and even translate in real time, what’s left for us humans?

In this episode of English and Beyond: Advanced English Podcast, Oliver and César discuss the promises and threats of Artificial Intelligence. From Apple’s new live-translation AirPods to AI-generated podcasts on YouTube, they ask hard and sometimes depressing questions about the future of education, creativity, and work!

Will teachers and podcasters (and lawyers) become redundant? Could AI replace not only routine jobs but also creative voices? Or will this technology simply shift what we value as “uniquely human”?

Along the way, they reflect on history, from the Industrial Revolution to today, and explore how people adapt when technology changes everything.

Listen in for a frank conversation about fear and opportunity - and decide for yourself whether AI is a threat, a tool, or perhaps both.
