How much of it is copyright, and how much of this is violated? The debates about what is copyright and what is copyleft. With AI-generated images becoming more advanced, what does it mean for artists, digital advertising, and even companies like Google? Will AI-generated content disrupt ad revenue? What happens to creators whose work is used to train these models?

In this episode, our host Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talks about OpenAI’s image generator, the shifting landscape of content ownership, and the rise of "ethical AI" as a marketing term. Are we entering an era of "AI washing," much like we saw with cloud and greenwashing? Companies are pushing responsible AI, but how much of it is genuine, and how much is just marketing?

Switching gears, we talk about Xiaomi’s latest flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, a phone that bucks the AI trend by doubling down on camera technology. The device features a Leica-powered 200MP camera and comes with a dedicated camera grip and attachments to enhance the photography experience. But in a world where AI is dominating smartphone innovation, is a top-tier camera enough? Would you buy a phone that is ordinary in every other way but has an extraordinary camera? We debate the practicality of such a device—how it fits into real-world usage, whether its hardware is as durable as traditional DSLRs, and if losing or damaging a smartphone with such an advanced camera would be more of a liability than a benefit.

We also touch on Bill Gates' recent statement that AI will replace most human jobs—except for biologists and energy researchers. Why these two fields? We break down whether AI is truly incapable of advancing in these areas without human intervention or if Gates' statement oversimplifies the situation.
