How should we think about A.I.? What are its perils and promises? Khoi and Matt talk about this and share some thought experiments.

No doubt, this is a tricky topic. Does A.I. have any uses in society? Should we be against the advancement and use of A.I. in everything? And how do we retain our unique ability as humans to learn, grow, and create when A.I. presents itself to the masses as an “easy” solution to what some may perceive as their limited abilities?

No questions are rhetorical in this, and many questions are posited. We honestly, openly explore the challenge of a world increasingly consumed with A.I. and what it means to the generations after us who will grow up knowing only a world with a competitive “intelligence.”

Enjoy the episode, and feel free to share your thoughts, so we all (all the humans!) can learn from you!

Oh, and just so everyone has no doubts - Khoi and Matt are both against using A.I. in any form to create - whether it’s art, writing, or any other creative pursuit. (Just so our positions are clear). Enjoy!

How do you say “no” to something? What does saying “yes” mean and its implications? Khoi and Matt talk about this and their experiences.
