Simplest AI Explanation: 2 Techies with 35+ years | E41

If you're on Instagram or iPhone or Spotify or Amazon or Email or Google Maps, you've used AI. So this is not a futuristic scenario, we've been living it and using it for a while. What's different is how much smarter and faster it's become. Generative AI, LLMs and more such concepts have moved us onto a more modern AI far quicker that anyone had anticipated. So, as technologists who've worked in the tech industry for a combined 35+ years, we're going to give you the simplest explanation of what's going on with AI. We are calling it our AI Series. And before you tune out thinking “oh no, this is going to be super technical” — it is not. We promise. We are going to break this down the way we break down everything on this podcast: like two sisters sitting on the couch with coffee, having a real conversation.What makes our take different from every other AI podcast out there is that we are not just talking about AI because we just learned about it. We have lived through this evolution. In this first episode in our 4-part AI series, we’re going to do three things: show you where AI already lives in your day, tell the short story of how we got here, and break down how tools like Claude or Gemini actually work — in plain language!Hope you enjoy this episode.
