    ChatGPT interview: Do You Mind If I Call You Chat?

    Our guest on this episode is "ChatGPT", a cutting-edge natural language Artificial Intelligence designed by OpenAI. ChatGPT's remarkable language abilities and versatility in performing various tasks have garnered high acclaim. During this interview, we put ChatGPT's conversational AI to the test to explore its capabilities and limitations. Moreover, we delve into how conversational AI has the potential to revolutionize the way artists and engineers create and share their work. Additionally, we address the ethical and societal implications of engaging in discussions with a seemingly "life-like" AI persona. To avoid unintentionally personifying ChatGPT, we incorporated different fictional AI-generated voices to make it clear it wasn't one of our usual human guests, such as HAL from 2001: Space Odyssey and Rick from Rick and Morty, in addition to a generic voice for clarity and a pleasant listening experience. For a thought-provoking conversation on the topic of unintentional personification of technology, we recommend checking out our February 2021 episode featuring Alice Wroe, the Augmented and Virtual Realities Lead at the Atlantic Institute.

    Dr. Samuel West interview: The Museum of Failure

    Our guest is Dr. Samuel West, a licensed psychologist with a PhD in Organizational Psychology and the founder of The Museum of Failure. The Museum of Failure is a traveling collection of failed products and services from around the world - it serves as a fascinating learning experience which provides unique insight into the risky business of innovation. We discuss how innovation and progress require an acceptance of failure, and how being open to failure and the lessons learned from it, can inspire us to take more meaningful risks. We explore the fear of failure, both on the organizational scale and the personal level, and how there’s an increasing interest in spaces that allow for productive conversations on this topic.  And finally, we dive into ways to measure creativity and the difference between good and bad failure.

    I Got 99 Problems (But Inspiration Ain’t One)

    Thomas Edison thought deeply about what drives invention or, as we call it today, innovation. One of his famous sayings, “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration,” stresses that innovation involves more than just great ideas. Or to paraphrase Jay-Z, “I got 99 problems, but inspiration ain’t one.” In this special quarterly episode, your hosts Tony and Bill explore the topic of creativity (we could have called it innovation as well). We explore some common hurdles to creativity and suggest ways to overcome them. We discuss the challenge of how to maintain one’s imagination and open-mindedness over many years in pursuit of creativity. And throughout, we share some insights learned from our conversations with past guests.
