The Intersection of AI and Authenticity

Welcome back to the show that keeps you informed on all things artificial intelligence and natural nonsense.


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.
