Практика Shadowing: when AI decides the speed of the world - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

These days, I've been feeling overwhelmed by the pace of everything.

Everything's just so fast.

Do you feel that?

It's not even because I'm too busy or because my life is hard right now.

It's more that I feel like I'm moving too slowly, you know, and then that anxiety makes me think, "I need to do this,

I need to do that." My mind feels scattered all the time.

I keep adding more and more things to my to -do list, but somehow I feel just even further behind.

The world is speeding up and AI is driving a lot of that speed.

New AI models, new tools, new updates.

They are just everywhere.

As someone who is in marketing and product design, I used to tell myself,

I can't afford to miss any of this So I followed all the AI news channels on YouTube and Instagram accounts,

but eventually There were so many new models and so many new features that I stopped seeing them as information.

They started feeling like obligations, like things I was supposed to study and keep up with.

I mean, I need to study.

I need to spend my...

I need to invest my time.

Yeah, so I unfollowed all of them.

Gosh.

Stop!

I'm not kidding.

All that information was becoming a huge source of stress for me.

So, And if you've been feeling overwhelmed by all of this too, you're definitely not alone.

I get you.

Yes, and it made me wonder, what are we supposed to do in a world filled with AI?

Yeah, I know the answer and you know that answer too.

Because a lot of people say that if AI replaces your job, there's nothing you can do about it.

But the people who learn how to use AI will survive.

So we need to learn AI.

I'm sure that there's Yeah, truth in that.

But I don't think that's quite that simple.

The anxiety I feel isn't about my job.

It's not only about my job.

Maybe it is, but it's not just that.

People are using AI to organize their thoughts, decide what to eat for dinner.

They're using it to write genuine apology messages for their girlfriends.

Oh yeah, I've seen it.

Well, at some point, AI starts knowing so much about us because we share a lot but it almost feels like

Its thoughts and words are becoming ours.

It's confusing.

Is this my idea because you got it from my history and then the conversations that you had with me?

Or is this AI's idea?

I don't know.

But what if the secret to surviving this new world isn't about keeping up?

What if the answer is actually going deeper into the parts of ourselves that machines can never have?

Welcome back to another episode of Dizzeizel.

Maybe the biggest thing AI solved is speed.

Fast understanding, faster communication, faster decisions.

AI is incredibly fast now.

I can't beat that.

I'm not a machine.

But it's no longer just a tool.

It's slowly becoming part of the structure of everyday life.

It's making the world more efficient at a speed.

At least for me.

Well, I don't know everything about it because I unfollowed all the accounts.

So I'm probably missing a lot.

Yeah.

But efficiency is not always good because across many industries, people are experiencing more burnout.

For example, I saw this

article survey it was like 2024 Australian survey I don't know I found this Australian one but

there was some like office workers using AI as many people reported increased stress as those who reported reduced stress

so there's like pros and cons

but yeah I think there's constant pressure to keep learning adapting

and staying with the changes and I don't think we're feeling We are being asked to move a pace determined by machines,

not by humans.

And this issue goes much deeper than just workplace stress.

The more common AI becomes, the more people worry that we might lose our ability to think independently or genuinely connect with each other, because I do.

And honestly, I think people will...

probably become lonelier.

I tried to look at all of this as objectively as I can when I picked this topic today.

But I also want to share my thoughts and my own experience

because I've lived in a time when people didn't need to own their cell phones.

I'm so old but I mean like I mean we had phones but like when I was in schools,

I didn't have a phone and that was not that strange.

So like sitting in a subway, people look at each other instead of looking at their phones, you know, it's just like,

talking to each other that's pretty common and i've also lived long enough to see a world that

communicating without social media feels almost impossible.

Competition is already intense, and now, how much you know about AI has become another competition.

We start believing that if we want to survive, we have to run even faster.

But, What if we asked a different question?

In a world where those immediate AI answers became the standard, is choosing to move slowly a weakness.

Hey guys, I wanted to give you a quick update on my Ana Luisa pieces

because I've had them for a while now.

I've been wearing this necklace literally pretty regularly and honestly, it's held up really well.

It still looks great, it's comfortable to wear and it's become one of those pieces that I just throw on without thinking.

I've followed the care instructions and so far I haven't noticed any ternishing which I'm very happy about.

They also offer a 2 -year warranty, which is always nice to have.

If you're curious, I've left my link in the description.

Thank you so much and let's go back to the episode.

AI can generate answers instantly.

It can optimize schedules, read emails from me and analyze huge amounts of data way faster than any human can.

AI can show you the fastest route, but it can't tell you whether the destination is actually worth going to.

but it can't tell you what is truly worth doing.

And that's where I think we need a shift in perspective.

The real human advantage isn't about beating machines at speed.

It's about developing the qualities that algorithms can never truly replicate.

Not becoming faster, becoming deeper.

The first of these qualities is depth.

100

AI is incredibly good at the shallow layer of things.

101

Fast summaries, instant

102

amount of information but information isn't the same thing as how much you know

103

Because AI can't move without a prompt or questions.

104

Or maybe they will in the future. So scary.

105

Wait, focus.

106

AI doesn't have its own motivation.

107

Maybe they will in the future but okay, the point is it requires knowing why And that's something humans do,

108

understanding the why, not what.

109

We become so focused on completing tasks that we forget how to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves what actually matters.

110

like okay example I love journaling.

111

But recently, because so many things are being recorded on Remember It for me, I found myself writing less.

112

And honestly, that makes me a little sad.

113

Not just because of journaling itself because it feels symbolic.

114

It made me rethink the world we are building.

115

Human beings are creatures of slow attention and deep reflection, I think, like I did with my journaling.

116

We don't just store information, we store experiences, emotions, instincts things that exist beyond the text.

117

I've always believed that people who have loved something obsessively,

118

passionately, almost irrationally, have a higher chance of creating something meaningful in life.

119

That's more than just knowing something or storing information In a culture where everything keeps getting faster,

120

choosing to move slowly isn't laziness.

121

Those things require a deeply human sensitivity that AI simply doesn't possess.

122

The second quality is empathy.

123

Of course, I know.

124

I think we are entering the age of artificial relationships a little bit.

125

AI already started building relationships with us.

126

They understand us.

127

Maybe you named your chat GPT already?

128

People are even turning to this AI for mental health advice.

129

So to me empathy happens when your heart recognizes something in someone else's

130

when the other person experiences the same thing with what you're going through.

131

The most trustworthy empathy often comes from shared vulnerability.

132

Even if they're awkward about it, even if they handle it differently, that's still human empathy.

133

So the people who understand that, like building relationships aren't

134

the value of interactions and stuff and who are good at it will be needed more than ever even in the workplaces.

135

So don't forget working on those human skills.

136

And finally, there are two things I want to emphasize: identity and connection.

137

Think about it.

138

With enough data, AI can learn your writing style and write like you with enough voice samples, it can sound like you.

139

So, What is actually mine?

140

This is a very different question from convenience or speed.

141

If what we create can be easily copied, where is mine?

142

I'll ask AI something like, "If I practice driving, like 10 hours a week, can I get my driver license within six months?

143

And the AI will give me some answer immediately.

144

Then I'll ask, "Okay, if I listen to this English podcast every day for two years, will I become fluent in English?

145

I can even ask it about traveling the world without traveling the world.

146

But none of those things are actually my experiences.

147

And I need to know the difference between what I can do, what I've done, and what I've merely imagined doing.

148

The old version of me had no choice but to try something before knowing the answer.

149

Maybe identity in the future will not be defined by what you've created because it'll be so easy to create something.

150

Maybe it will be defined by why you chose it and the values behind that choice.

151

What matters isn't simply what you made, it's why you made it.

152

And discovering those things for yourself is a practice we should never give up.

153

I know AI can help, but we still need to practice making our own decisions.

154

The more we begin treating AI as a substitute for human relationships,

155

the less willing we'll become to do the difficult but necessary work of showing up for each other.

156

opposite direction.

157

I think it starts with very simple intentional actions.

158

First, practice small pauses.

159

Before automatically reacting to a notification, take your time.

160

Be clear about what work belongs to you and what work belongs to AI.

161

Your efficiency should be something that you create intentionally.

162

Second, spend at least 15 minutes a day having inefficient conversations with someone

163

because those conversations or time will be something that you will look back

164

least one thing in your life that you enjoy for the process rather than the outcome.

165

Your own pace matters more.

166

My point of this video isn't about we should use AI or not.

167

It's about what kind of person we want to become.

168

I don't think the future belongs to the fastest people and it should not.

169

I think it belongs to the most human ones.

170

The humans who actually think.

171

My achievement, my happy moments, my sad moments.

172

Those are mine no one can mimic.

173

And one day, I will have the chance to pass and introduce those experiences onto someone else.

174

And hopefully that helps.

175

Maybe that's what I want to do through YouTube.

176

AI can never replace that.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
