Don‘t Call Me Boomer (DCMB)

In this last episode on ChatGPT, I speak with Jakob. A teenager who is deeply interested in tech, he has a rather surprising approach to what he thinks other kids - and schools - should be doing about ChatGPT and Open AI more generally. 

Maude talks to us this week about her experience using ChatGPT in school and at home, and how she's thinking about creative uses for generative AI. Listen to this all-new guest on DCMB!

In episode 2 of the DCMB series on ChatGPT and generative AI, listen to how Raphael uses the tool and some of the ways that ChatGPT gives him the space to explore new forms of creativity. 

ChatGPT is a chatbot by OpenAI, and it was launched to the public in November 2022. Soon after, the uses and abuses of ChatGPT and AI more widely, were debated in dining rooms, classrooms, and newsrooms around the world. In this special series on ChatGPT, I talk with my kids and their friends about how they are using the tool and the expectations and fears about generative AI. In this episode, I speak with Gabriel. 

In this episode, I leave my kids at home, and I have a chat with Kyo. They talk about what it has been like to have recently come out, change their name, and take on new pronouns. 

You know those online games that kids spend hours playing every day? Did you know that those games are generating over 50 billions of dollars a year in revenue from in-game spending? Listen to what Gabriel has to say about these kinds of purchases and how they work on the Roblox platform. 

I'm never gonna tell you what this episode is about. But the clue is in the description. Give you a clue to help you up? Never gonna do it. If I did, I would just let you down. Instead, have a listen to what Raphael has to say about the biggest bait and switch meme of all time. 

Do you have any idea what those genZers are saying to you over SMS? Gabriel comes to the rescue with a few hints. 

Remember Skype? Well, your kids aren't on it. Instead, they're probably chatting with their friends on Discord. In this episode, Gabriel explains this social media app that lets him play video games and chat with his friends at the same time. 

In this episode, Raphael and I talk about Reddit and cover what it is, how it's used, and what it means for freedom of speech in the age of social media.
