    Bots Don't Cry EP #1: IS AI SENTIENT? w/ Dr. Emily Bender and Dr. Alex Hanna

    In my first episode, I interview Dr. Emily M. Bender and Dr. Alex Hanna about the current AI hype in the industry and what everyday people should learn about LLM/Generative AI and AI agent technologies so big tech can't play them. This episode covers: 1. The technology behind Generative AI and AI agents (LLMs) 2. How LLMs are essentially probabilistic machines that predict tokens and assemble letters without understanding their meaning. 2. How AI agents are enhanced LLMs tasked with taking actions based on word predictions. 3. The fact that artificial intelligence cannot be sentient or conscious.  4. How companies blame AI agents for their actions to dodge accountability and hype up their tech to attract funding. 5. The differences between AI doomers and AI boosters, along with the ideologies (TESCREAL) influencing AI today.  PHEW, and that's it! 😮‍💨 I hope you learn a lot and ENJOY our first episode. Don't forget to subscribe and join me next TUESDAY for more AI literacy with leading critical AI experts, and let me know down in the comments: WHAT WAS YOUR MAIN TAKE-AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE?
