Episode 150; Brian Magerko Open AI, ChatGPT, DALL-E, Deep Learning

We live in amazing times. There are Open AI  tools available that enable those of us that are creative with a little “c” to explore and create without having to have the physical skills necessary to paint or draw. To write a screenplay, or compose and play music.  There are still other tools can be used in the medical and mental health fields as a counselor or a radiologist. The potential of the applications and opportunities are mind-boggling to think of. I can’t help but ask myself, what’s the impact of these on the marketplace? On Trademark or ownership? On Society? I don’t make my living as an artist or a musician – so I don’t feel threatened by them. Should we trust them to diagnose medical conditions or perform counseling? What’s the consequence of “removing” more human interaction?
