ARTIFICIAL APPETITE: Is our AI powered future being forced on us?

Preparing for AI: The AI Podcast for Everybody

Send us a text

On this episode of "Preparing for AI," hosts Jimmy Rhodes and Matt Cartwright tackle the complex relationship between AI and society, pondering whether AI is a tool we genuinely desire or something that's being imposed upon us. Can't we just sit and read a newspaper or a good book? Does anybody other than rent seeking corporations actually gain from AI generated music, film and content? From job displacement and generational differences in media consumption to the potential for an AI-Amish community and the profound questions about consciousness and free will, this episode leaves no stone unturned.
We explore the concept of hypernovelty and how we as humans have interupted the natural flow of evolution. How many of societies problems today are linked to this and how will AI accelerate the pace of change? We even go down the rabbit hole or AI, religion and human freewill.
We also take a look at the most important new model of the year so far. What if artificial intelligence could perform a year-long research project in just an hour? Now it can with the stunning capabilities of the new ChatGPT-01 preview. We'll explore how this model's revolutionary ability to refine responses within 30 seconds marks a leap forward in AI development, reigniting the excitement and concerns about the future of artificial intelligence.
And we end, as all good podcasts should, with nowt but didgeridoo.
