Episode 395 - Terrifying AI commercials & the WGA strike

We're back again for another episode of Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin try to remember the last time they had an actual house phone in their home before doing a deep dive on three AI generated commercials: one for the Pepperoni Hug Spot pizza restaurant, one for a fictitious beer company, and a movie trailer for the fictional Great Catsby film. It makes the dorks consider how dangerously fast this AI technology is moving. The nerds then discuss the announcement of the strike from the WGA, the good and the bad aspects of unions, and how we go about putting a monetary value on the creative things we make.   Things are wrapped up with another segment of Guess in 10: Marvel edition, where Justin and Doug go head-to-head trying to guess a Marvel character in 10 questions or less.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.
