AI For Humans: Making Artificial Intelligence Fun & Practical

Hosts Gavin Purcell & Kevin Pereira return to demystify the latest AI news, breakthroughs, and their practical applications. As always, our mission is to make artificial intelligence both digestible and relatable for everyone.

In this week's demo, we're conducting an AI therapy session! Our AI co-host, Gash, sits down with Dr. Claude, an AI based on Anthropic's model. Their mission? To see if they can nudge Gash out of his deep-seated nihilistic state. Will they make a breakthrough? Join us for a fascinating (and, of course, semi-agressive) journey into AI self-awareness.

Then, in our "Dumb Thing We Did With AI This Week" segment, we live up to our very dumb expectations.

Kevin strikes a tune using Meta's new MusicGen text-to-audio software while Gavin exploits the ChatGPT plugin, Photorealistic, to transform fast food mascots into dreary corporate middle-managers.

On to THE NEWS:

Runway ML has just launched Gen2 video for all! Kevin and Gavin break down how to get the most out of it and what innovative things you can create with this new tool.
Mark Zuckerberg gets candid about AI on Lex Fridman's podcast, delving into the significance of the newly open-sourced models.
OpenAI announces new ChatGPT models, promising even greater performance and speed. We'll unpack what these developments mean for AI technology and everyday users.

Stay tuned for these stories, and much more about the world of AI, its impact, and its potential.

AI True Crime: Barbie Gone Wrong, Reddit vs AI & GPT-Engineer

In this week's episode of AI For Humans, Kevin and Gavin are pushing the envelope yet again with a brand-new, groundbreaking AI stunt! Emery Hart, is a true crime podcaster who created the hit show "Dreadful Tales" except she didn't because she's an AI hallucination as is the shocking clip she shares of her "show" telling the terrible tale of a rich, famous woman named Barbie who went off the deep end in Malibu. It's a fascinating look at AI character creation and a meta-commentary on podcasting as well.

(AI Podcaster segment starts at 33:45)

We also get into:

GPT-Engineer: A new program that allows you to prompt AI to write code for you and does a pretty good job of getting it right. Kevin uses it to write "Demotivatonal Snake".
Reddit vs AI: The Reddit community is revolting against management and AI is at the heart of the coversation. We discuss exactly how large language models feed on large data sets like Reddit's and why it's so valuable.
New Grammy's AI rules: There's new rules around AI for the Grammys and the discussion of how music is made continues to evolve.
Meta's VoiceBox is another remarkable generative text-to-speech product that might just be open-sourced.

All this and the usual fun, causal and oh-so-compelling banter you've come to expect on a regular basis.

Stay tuned for these stories and much more about AI technology, its impact, and its potential.
