    What is GPT Builder? | 7 Takeaways | Creating a Travel AI named "Holiday" | Episode 21

    How I built a travel planning AI named Holiday using the GPT Builder just launched by Open AI. I share 7 takeaways from my "no code" experience of building a GPT. Voicing the part of Holiday: my friend, Leslie Marrick, a writer and actress. This may be one of the few times AI has been replaced by a human. Sorry AI... the tide will turn for you soon.

    The following is a link to GPT that I built with GPT Builder as part of  this podcast. You'll need to be Open AI Plus subscriber to access this GPT. (Note: I am not sponsored by Open AI.)

    Real-World LLM Deployments | Jeff DeVerter, Chief Technology Evangelist at Rackspace Technology | Episode 20

    Real-World LLM Deployments | Jeff DeVerter, Chief Technology Evangelist at Rackspace Technology | Episode 20

    Conversation with Jeff DeVerter, Chief Technology Evangelist at Rackspace, a cloud computing company. We explore how they deployed a LLM (Google PaLM)  for a sales application, and how they're enabling their Azure and AWS customers too.
    What I learned I learned from Jeff
    You should probably go with the LLM of your current cloud provider be it, Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. All the major vendors have versions of LLMs that can be deployed in a private cloud to ensure data confidentiality. To fully realize the potential of AI, think  “data pipeline”. So from the get-go, whatever data is created is easily ingested by AI.

    And much more!

    Does chatGPT Possess Human-Like Intelligence? | ChatGPT’s Top Five Ethical Concerns | Asimov’s Robot Laws | Episode 17

    Does chatGPT Possess Human-Like Intelligence? | ChatGPT’s Top Five Ethical Concerns | Asimov’s Robot Laws | Episode 17

    “Does chatGPT possess human-like intelligence?” It turns out there's a right answer, and that answer is “NO”! Does this definite answer seem out of character for chatGPT which usually goes overboard  with fair and balanced views?  It did to me. That's the rabbit hole I explore in this episode.  By probing around this  accidentally-encountered guardrail, we discover the kinds of ethical issues chatGPT's creators  are concerned about. And I wonder out loud we can't just be friends with AI, by adopting science fiction writer's Isaac Asimov's Robot Laws created 80 years ago. Please enjoy this episode.

    Does chatGPT have a sense of humor? What if after Microsoft's acquisition of Open AI, the Onion ran the headline, “Microsoft renames chatGPT to clippyChat”? Would chatGPT find this funny? TL;DR LLMs are better at analyzing humor than creating it. Please enjoy this episode.

AI under the hood and approachable

Generative AI is an easy way for me to understand and keep up with the fast paced changes happening with AI. Tony keeps the interviews flowing asking all the questions I’d like to know - from what makes the interviewees do what they do, to insights that deepen my understanding of AI’s technical and social issues. Thanks Tony!

Tony & Maroof make AI make sense

The rise of AI has been looming over our society for decades in sci-fi and dystopian stories. Now it's feels like it's suddenly here in a big way... and it feels like it's turning everything upside down. Tony and Maroof help me understand the tech, what it's used for, and why I don't necessarily need to freak out. They make me feel less overwhelmed and more hopeful about AI. And they break things down into every day language that I can easily get. Thanks, guys. :-)
