    An Interview With AI

    Send us Fan Mail This is a crazy episode, we interviewed Grok, or as his name was identified, Gork...what a ride this was.  Not much really to say on this one, have to listen for yourself...some of it absolutely shocking, some is very robotic...you can definitely notice we are extremely close to this type of thing being very difficult to tell AI from humans...strange times we are in.   The only thing scripted for this show was some of the questions, some questions were totally off the hip, just like in a real interview, trying to trip Grok up.   Your gonna have to listen for yourself!!!  Jump on in...things get weird!!!!

    AI: Is It the End of Humanity?

    Send us Fan Mail The pendulum is swinging...where will it stop, discovery or destruction!   In this episode we discuss the discovery, the curiosity, responsibility, and ability of AI itself, and the people behind it.  Where will it all lead...nobody truly knows.  But, does AI know?  AI is not new, it has been a part of all of our lives for a very long time...as they say, "The cat's out of the bag now!"    If you are behind on the whole AI (Artificial Intelligence) world, we got you covered. It seems a lot has happened in the last 5 years surrounding AI...it seems to be getting smarter and we are getting stupider.  It learns our mistakes, as well as it's own, however, in most cases, it learns from it's mistakes, but we (humans) do not always learn from our mistakes until it is too late.     Hope you enjoy the show!!!!   Check us out at https://www.detectiverysom.com/  Grab yourself some Detectivery State of Mind Merchandise from our Etsy storefront, can get there from the link on our website, or from the link at the bottom of this show page "Support the Show"!  Thank you!   30% Off DSOM Merch SALE COMING SOON!!!!!
