from JAG Cast · host Jenkintown Arts Garage

This week, we return to our ongoing "WTF..?" series where Chrissie asks Steve, "WTF is AI?" and Steve tries to answer. The PIC learn about Large Language Models, creepy chat bots, and useful ways to leverage "AI" to avoid mundane tasks like writing simple ad copy. There is also discussion of some of the weird stories in this space like the NYT author who creeped himself out talking to Bing or the poor souls who fell in love with their AI avatars only to have their "relationships" destroyed with a software update. Plus, learn why an AI thinks Chrissie is like "Wonder Woman!" All that and more, plus lots of links in the show notes...LIVE from the 19046! Support the pod!
