People are using AI in surprising ways, and it's raising all kinds of questions: Should I be asking this chatbot for relationship advice? What about bringing someone's voice back from the dead? On this episode, hear how people are navigating the possibilities, fears, and weirdness of AI right now.
First up, Trevor takes his mic to the streets, to ask people how they're using AI to solve a real problem in their lives right now - from personal therapy sessions, to budgeting, to existential questions about God.
Meet Danielle Boyer, who was inspired by the Tickle Me Elmo doll to make a robot that uses AI to teach kids her community's language, Anishinaabemowin. Thinking deeply about the ethics of AI and technology, Danielle says just because you can build it, doesn't mean you should.
Six months ago, Nile Séguin began asking ChatGPT questions about how to improve his life. Today, “Chat” has become his go-to organizer, problem solver, and cheerleader that he messages everyday - and he's not entirely sure how he feels about that.
After Alec Cooper was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal disease that will leave him paralyzed and take away his ability to speak, he decided to clone his voice using AI. Alec and his wife Sylvie Barma are discovering there’s more to the AI voice clone than they expected, including its role in helping them cope with Alec’s diagnosis.
And we'll bring you the story of a former punk band who are using AI to reunite with their lead singer, 40 years after he died. Lloyd Peterson and Chris Maxfield tell us about the experience of playing music again with their late friend Iggy Morningstar, and how it helped them process his death for the first time.
