EPISODE 12: AI Only Discriminates Against Indians & Whites, Dead Internet Theory, & Taylor Swift Scams

In this episode, we share our experience with ChatGPT's new Advanced Voice feature. It's an incredible tool, but we were surprised to see it's currently programmed to only mimic Indian and white accents- and refuses to do others. Its reasonings? (Catch the full convo around 13 minutes in): "I can't imitate accents that can be seen as disrespectful or offensive. I strive to be respectful and sensitive to all cultures. Some accents can be more culturally sensitive and I want to avoid any that might be considered offensive." Wait- why are Indian and white accents okay, but others aren’t? We’ve got mixed opinions on this. What’s your take? Shoutout to the Surrey Jack accent though.. it had us in stitches 😂. Harmol breaks down the "Dead Internet Theory" and we chat about Egon Cholakian and his eerie AI-like content. Straight creepy. Our friend's facebook got hacked, and sold fake Taylor Swift tickets to a bunch of randoms... brutal. See you all in the next one!
