We're not a tech podcast. We promise.

AI is seemingly everywhere these days. As more people and organizations use AI to generate images, videos, and voices it's a good time to start looking at how these tools will affect us as people and as a society.

As AI content gets more realistic looking and sounding how can we trust what we see online and in media at large?

WE'RE BACK!

After a long hiatus (because life happens), we're making our comeback with a discussion around Nature vs. Nurture. We discuss how these forces shape our personalities, beliefs, and behaviors. The conversation touches on parenting, personal development, societal influences, and sometimes rambly unrelated stuff.

Also, at the start of the episode we chat about what you can expect from the show in the near future and some behind the scenes changes that will hopefully allow us to do this more consistently from now on.

AI is the topic of much discussion these days. Often through the lens of technology and economics. But is there more to consider about AI? Is AI a form of consciousness? Are large language models actually artificial intelligence? We definitely don't know for sure, but we're also definitely gonna talk about it. Join us for another wide-ranging conversation about AI, consciousness, humankind, Minecraft, and octopus thought experiments.

Death is something we all must face, but it can be a difficult thing to talk about. Join us in this wide-ranging discussion of the complicated, and multi-faceted topic: death. We examine our current attitudes towards death, discuss what our culture tells us about death, explore how our upbringings shaped our views on death, and much more. Get ready to contemplate some big questions in this thought-provoking episode of Couch Philosophy. #CouchPhilosophy #Death #Christianity
