AI is already here, whether we like it or not. In the art world, AI is present in the form of art generators like Midjourney and Dall-e. In communication, we can converse with Chat GPT, or open Notion and ask the AI to write an introduction. AI has now found its way into the podcasting world.

About the episode
My guest today is Sam Plank, the founder and CEO of Dubb, an AI marketing tool for podcasters. We discussed the implications of recent AI models such as Dall-e, Stable Diffusion, and Mid Journey and ChatGPT. We also talked about the importance of AI alignment and reducing biases in AI models, as well as the implications of using AI in the legal profession. But, of course, there are concerns about the use of AI in our everyday lives: should we rely on it? Should we trust it? Is AI something more than just a tool and what are our lives going to look like along side AI?
If you have even a passing interest in AI, you don't want to miss this episode.
Sam previously worked as a data scientist at Facebook and Quora. He is a founding fellow at the Integrity Institute, a non-profit that advances the theory and practice of protecting the social internet. He holds a B.A. in Applied Math from Harvard University, where he was the managing editor of the Harvard Political Review and wrote an undergraduate thesis on the relationship between protest and social media.
