from The AI Argument · host Frank Prendergast and Justin Collery

Wired Magazine says OpenAI’s “research” is starting to sound like propaganda. Frank says that’s what happens when IPO pressure creeps in — the bad news gets buried unless regulation forces transparency. Justin says Frank’s chasing the wrong villain: regulation won’t save you if politicians still don’t have a plan for the job shock.Plus: Nick Huber trying to ban AI-written emails. ChatGPT rescuing a missing recording with a bit of command line wizardry. Gemini Flash vs Pro, and whether Gemini 3 Pro is the best “brains per euro”. A nasty “backdoor” idea where harmless training data can hide weird triggers. And Microsoft Copilot getting absolutely mugged by its own Christmas ad.00:44 Is Nick Huber right to ban AI emails?03:32 Did ChatGPT just save the podcast?08:22 Is ChatGPT Images as good as Nanobanana Pro?10:12 Is Gemini Flash almost as good as Pro?12:29 Is Gemini 3 Pro the best value for intelligence?15:34 Could safe training data still hide AI backdoors?26:31 Is OpenAI research turning into propaganda? 35:11 Does Microsoft Copilot live up to its ads?► SUBSCRIBEDon't forget to subscribe to our channel for more arguments► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED The new ChatGPT Images is hereGemini 3 Flash: frontier intelligence built for speedWeird Generalization and Inductive Backdoors: New Ways to Corrupt LLMsCompany’s Economic Research Is Drifting Into AI AdvocacyMicrosoft’s holiday Copilot ad is wrapped in empty promises► CONNECT WITH USFor more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.Justin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justincollery/Frank: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankprendergast/
