                      In this episode, Perry & Mason talk about the challenges of watermarking AI content, trends in AI music generation (and how Spotify is capitalizing on them), OpenAI's new Genesis physics engine, and an AI company that doesn't know how to read the room.

On this week's episode, Perry & Mason cover Anthropic's recent hiring of an employee focused on AI well-being, an AI grandmother from hell (for scammers), and Google's Gemini chatbot allegedly tells a user what it really thinks of them. Welcome back to the show that keeps you informed on all things artificial intelligence and natural nonsense.
