Is your AI therapist about to get banned? We uncovered complaints filed with the FTC that suggest companies like OpenAI and Character AI are offering illegal, unlicensed therapy. But the story gets even weirder. We dive into AI Barbie, AI learning to speak in secret languages, and the most dystopian new job in the world: the "AI Sin Eater." Could you go to jail for an AI's mistake? We debate if AI should have legal rights, why Meta's Llama can recite Harry Potter, and whether talking to ChatGPT is actually therapy. **Subscribe for more on the AI revolution:** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy9DopLlG7IbOqV-WD25jcw?sub_confirmation=1 --- **CONNECT WITH US**: * 📱 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/they-might-be-self-aware/id1730993297 * 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EcvzkWDRFwnmIXoh7S4Mb?si=3d0f8920382649cc 🐦 Hunter on X/Twitter: https://x.com/thehunter * All Links (Linktree): https://linktr.ee/tmbsa
