Tech News Weekly 324: Seeking Love With AI


Listen Later

What's it like seeking love within AI? How web crawlers are suddenly controversial with the rise of AI. Are Meta's Ray-Ban Smart Glasses better than the Apple Vision Pro for what face computers are capable of now? And Amazon has created the largest text-to-speech model that they claim to exhibit "emergent" qualities to speak sentences more naturally.

  • Emily Dreibelbis of PCMag joins the show to talk with Mikah about the AI "dating scene" AI through ChatGPT Plus and AI boyfriends and her somewhat lackluster experience.
  • Mikah talks about the "robots.txt" file that exists within many if not all, websites and how AI is impacting the use of this file.
  • Victoria Song of The Verge stops by to talk about Meta's and Apple's VR offerings and the differences between the two devices.
  • Finally, Amazon researchers have trained a text-to-speech model that they claim exhibits "emergent" qualities that improve its ability to speak sentences more naturally than other text-to-speech models.
  • Host: Mikah Sargent

    Guests: Emily Dreibelbis and Victoria Song
