- 0:04Speaker 2: Welcome, 405.
- 0:06Speaker 3: It's Thursday afternoon, August 27th, 81 degrees, with you till
- 0:11Speaker 3: 5 today. YSU football officially kicks off at 5 with
- 0:15Speaker 3: the pregame. And to Bob Hannon and crew coming your
- 0:18Speaker 3: way at 6 o'clock, NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Alec, are you there? Yep.
- 0:22Speaker 3: All right. Let me just ask you a couple of things,
- 0:28Speaker 3: and I'm going to get to AI. So do you
- 0:31Speaker 3: understand my point with this $ 18 billion settlement with Meta?
- 0:36Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense to me that they would even
- 0:40Speaker 3: make a settlement, that they wouldn't fight this, because they
- 0:43Speaker 3: are blaming Facebook and Instagram for making a product that 11-
- 0:48Speaker 3: and 12-year-old kids are addicted to, and somehow it's their
- 0:51Speaker 3: fault that they made that product.
- 0:53Speaker 2: So they want to.
- 0:56Speaker 3: So instead of blaming parents by saying, well, aren't you
- 1:00Speaker 3: supervising your kids, their phone and their Internet use and
- 1:02Speaker 3: this kind of stuff, that suddenly it's the company's fault
- 1:06Speaker 3: that they make a product that they want to spend
- 1:08Speaker 3: time on? And I just make the comparison. When I
- 1:11Speaker 3: was a little kid, we all watched cartoons from morning
- 1:14Speaker 3: till night. Well, and there was some violence in them.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Should we be saying, oh, that's the fault of the
- 1:20Speaker 3: TV company because they put cartoons on?
- 1:24Speaker 2: Well, no, or whatever.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Instead of your parents that put you in front of
- 1:27Speaker 3: it or something along those lines. Once again, my comparison
- 1:30Speaker 3: is that the fault of Doritos, because my wife buys
- 1:33Speaker 3: those Doritos, not the regular ones.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Remember the other day, you were the caller, as a
- 1:38Speaker 2: matter of fact.
- 1:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:39Speaker 3: You explained it to me, and I don't know which
- 1:42Speaker 3: ones it is. I have to ask her which one
- 1:44Speaker 3: she buys. It's not the regular, the nacho cheese ones.
- 1:49Speaker 3: I don't think it's the cool range.
- 1:51Speaker 6: Yeah, the cool range, yeah.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I don't know which one it is, but Alec hit
- 1:56Speaker 3: it on the head. Honest to God, folks, you put
- 1:59Speaker 3: this in your mouth. It is a taste sensation. You
- 2:02Speaker 3: eat that, and you immediately want another one as soon
- 2:05Speaker 3: as that's gone. So you take a handful out of
- 2:07Speaker 3: the bag, and you eat it. And you could eat
- 2:09Speaker 3: the entire bag at one sitting if you didn't have
- 2:12Speaker 3: discipline is what I'm saying.
- 2:14Speaker 7: Right.
- 2:15Speaker 6: I think that you hit the nail on the head
- 2:17Speaker 6: if you don't have discipline. It's just like Doritos, Ron.
- 2:19Speaker 6: There's a bunch of different ways to look at this
- 2:21Speaker 6: whole Facebook thing. Yes, the parents should be involved. That
- 2:24Speaker 6: goes back to my whole thing about money. If there's
- 2:27Speaker 6: not two parents there... then you use Facebook as a
- 2:30Speaker 6: babysitter for your kid, or if both parents have to
- 2:33Speaker 6: work two jobs or extra jobs or have a side hustle,
- 2:36Speaker 6: then there's nobody to watch the kids, so you put
- 2:38Speaker 6: Facebook in front of them and they're on their tablet,
- 2:40Speaker 6: they could do that. Now, like you're saying about cartoons
- 2:43Speaker 6: when you grow up, there was still the, what is it,
- 2:45Speaker 6: the FCC who does TV. You know, you can put
- 2:47Speaker 6: anything on there, so there was some regulation. But who
- 2:50Speaker 6: regulates Facebook? I think that's going all the way back
- 2:52Speaker 6: to the 2020 elections and what are they responsible for, and,
- 2:56Speaker 6: you know, the rules and regulations there. They don't have
- 2:58Speaker 6: anybody on that end. I think Facebook paid $ 18 billion
- 3:01Speaker 6: cost of doing business. They just put this behind them.
- 3:05Speaker 6: They washed their hands of it. Now, I don't know,
- 3:07Speaker 6: can they be sued for this again in the future?
- 3:09Speaker 4: Probably not.
- 3:10Speaker 6: They paid $ 18 billion to make a problem just disappear forever.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Yeah, but, I mean, it's the principle of it all.
- 3:17Speaker 3: How is it the fault of meta, Facebook or Instagram,
- 3:23Speaker 3: that if an 11- or 12-year-old kid is addicted to it,
- 3:26Speaker 3: That they've got to pay out. So are we in
- 3:29Speaker 3: agreement that's a parenting issue? They shouldn't have to pay anything.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Would we agree?
- 3:34Speaker 6: A hundred percent. And they're paying for something that happened,
- 3:36Speaker 6: you know, a decade ago. You know, kids aren't on
- 3:39Speaker 6: Facebook anymore. It's the listening audience mostly that's on Facebook nowadays.
- 3:44Speaker 6: So like I said, they're just paying to make a
- 3:47Speaker 6: problem go away. But yeah, 100%. Now it's Snapchat, Instagram.
- 3:53Speaker 6: There's probably things I don't even know about now that
- 3:56Speaker 6: they're using more of. And then is that going to
- 3:58Speaker 6: be a problem in the future? Probably. But yeah, you
- 4:00Speaker 6: should be a good parent and just raise your kids
- 4:02Speaker 6: and have them not buried in a tablet all day long.
- 4:05Speaker 6: That would be the right answer. But how do you
- 4:07Speaker 6: enforce that, too, on society?
- 4:10Speaker 3: And adults are addicted to some of this stuff, too,
- 4:14Speaker 3: because they choose to. I mean, you know there are
- 4:17Speaker 3: adults that want to post everything about what they're doing
- 4:19Speaker 3: and their life and their most intimate things on there. Well,
- 4:23Speaker 3: that's your problem. I mean, I guess you don't want
- 4:26Speaker 3: privacy and you don't care. And if you choose to
- 4:29Speaker 3: do that, is that the fault of Facebook or Meta?
- 4:31Speaker 3: That's your fault that you're doing that kind of stuff,
- 4:35Speaker 3: that you're addicted to it and you're looking at it
- 4:37Speaker 3: all the time. This idea that it's a company's fault,
- 4:41Speaker 3: that's why, like I said, I could drink three Dr.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Peppers a day or three Cokes a day, but I
- 4:48Speaker 3: don't because it's not good for you, and it's got
- 4:51Speaker 3: to be disciplined.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Where do you.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Want to take this with blaming companies because they make
- 4:56Speaker 3: a product that you can just consume a lot of
- 5:00Speaker 3: because it tastes great and it's less filling?
- 5:04Speaker 6: Well, we live in a litigious society, and these things
- 5:06Speaker 6: are going to happen, and like I said, trillion-dollar company,
- 5:09Speaker 6: $ 18 billion, make a.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Problem, go away.
- 5:11Speaker 6: I don't think they probably really fought it that much.
- 5:13Speaker 6: But again, we can argue it for days. But yes,
- 5:16Speaker 6: I completely agree with you, Ron.
- 5:18Speaker 2: All right, now I want to go to the whole
- 5:21Speaker 2: AI thing. So go ahead.
- 5:25Speaker 6: I want to touch back. There's a difference between AI,
- 5:28Speaker 6: the product, and AI, how it's being built out and
- 5:31Speaker 6: how it's spent for right now. So in 2008, when
- 5:35Speaker 6: the housing crisis, everything blew up, it was because the
- 5:37Speaker 6: banks took on these horrible loans. There were all these
- 5:40Speaker 6: loans bunched in together. They were mortgage-backed securities, and then
- 5:44Speaker 6: they were sold out. You didn't know what mortgage was
- 5:48Speaker 6: in that security. You don't know. It was just bundled
- 5:51Speaker 6: and then sold. Well, since 2008, there's been a lot
- 5:55Speaker 6: of regulations on the bank. They can't do that kind
- 5:57Speaker 6: of stuff anymore. So if you notice all of this
- 5:59Speaker 6: AI build-out, there's no JP Morgan funding Facebook. There's no
- 6:04Speaker 6: Citibank funding any of these other major corporations like this.
- 6:08Speaker 6: It's all venture capitalism because they don't have the same regulations.
- 6:12Speaker 6: So they're taking on enormous amounts of debt. Now, the
- 6:16Speaker 6: issue with that is Facebook doesn't have that on their
- 6:18Speaker 6: balance sheet. So options guy would say, well, their profits
- 6:21Speaker 6: are through the roof because everybody's buying the future profits
- 6:25Speaker 6: of Facebook, hoping that the AI boom pans out. Is
- 6:28Speaker 6: it five years, 10 years, 30 years from now? It's
- 6:30Speaker 6: great for their company on the balance sheet, just like
- 6:34Speaker 6: anything else. If you don't have debt, everything looks good.
- 6:37Speaker 6: But the venture capitalists shove all that debt, and you
- 6:41Speaker 6: don't really know what's in it either. You don't know,
- 6:43Speaker 6: is this data center good? Are the CPUs in this
- 6:46Speaker 6: data center going to last two years or four years?
- 6:48Speaker 6: Were these built in Shenzhen, China, or in Tokyo, Japan?
- 6:53Speaker 6: You don't know. So you don't know what the debt
- 6:55Speaker 6: is really going to be and how bad it's going
- 6:57Speaker 6: to be. And he said one time the other day,
- 6:59Speaker 6: he doesn't really follow the bond market. Well, if you
- 7:02Speaker 6: don't follow the bond market, you don't understand stocks. And
- 7:05Speaker 6: if you don't follow the bond market and know what
- 7:07Speaker 6: interest rates are going to be when all these debts
- 7:09Speaker 6: come due, this could be a big boom when what
- 7:12Speaker 6: you call poo-poo hits the fan. And when all of
- 7:15Speaker 6: this debt is bundled into an insurance policy, insurance companies
- 7:19Speaker 6: don't go out of business. And if they do, they're
- 7:22Speaker 6: made whole from other insurance companies. But there is a
- 7:24Speaker 6: law that says if an insurance company pays to make
- 7:27Speaker 6: those insurers whole, they get to use those proceeds as
- 7:30Speaker 6: a tax credit, which means that the taxpayer will be
- 7:34Speaker 6: funding all of this if it doesn't pan out in time.
- 7:38Speaker 6: Like I said, AI is great. It could do a
- 7:40Speaker 6: lot of stuff. I use it for things every single day.
- 7:42Speaker 6: But most of what I use it for, I paid
- 7:45Speaker 6: $ 120 to use it for the entire year. Do you
- 7:48Speaker 6: think that a corporation is really making a lot of
- 7:51Speaker 6: money off of me for my $ 120, the amount I
- 7:52Speaker 6: use it? or for most of the people who even
- 7:56Speaker 6: use AI to make like a squirrel riding a unicycle
- 7:59Speaker 6: on their cousin's couch picture. That's what most of AI
- 8:03Speaker 6: is being used for right now, not things that actually
- 8:05Speaker 6: move society forward. Now, I hope it gets there, and
- 8:08Speaker 6: I hope that eventually that comes a point. But will
- 8:11Speaker 6: we have enough usage where the cost or the benefit
- 8:16Speaker 6: of it outweighs the cost? And with these interest rates,
- 8:19Speaker 6: continuously going higher and the debt continuously going higher those
- 8:23Speaker 6: rates are going to go up so are these companies
- 8:25Speaker 6: going to be able to finance all this in the
- 8:27Speaker 6: future are the venture capitalists going to be able to
- 8:30Speaker 6: fund this all in the future i don't know that's
- 8:33Speaker 6: the thing it could be two years it could be
- 8:35Speaker 6: five years it could be thirty years i could be
- 8:36Speaker 6: completely wrong but there are some risks associated with this
- 8:40Speaker 6: so yes when a company that's already worth five trillion
- 8:43Speaker 6: dollars goes up ten percent in a day There are
- 8:47Speaker 6: some risks with that, too, because, yes, they're selling all
- 8:50Speaker 6: the products to these companies, but eventually what happens if
- 8:53Speaker 6: the companies that are buying them all can't afford them
- 8:56Speaker 6: anymore because it's already blown up from a financial standpoint?
- 9:00Speaker 6: I'm not talking about the AI usage because that's a
- 9:02Speaker 6: whole different story. But, you know, Facebook is worth, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 6: a trillion dollars not because they got lucky. It's because
- 9:09Speaker 6: they have intelligent people that know how to work the
- 9:11Speaker 6: system and make money work for them.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Okay, so.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Let me back up. I want to go back to
- 9:20Speaker 2: you pay $ 120 to who?
- 9:24Speaker 6: Anthropic. I use Quad. Actually, I think it was like $ 210.
- 9:28Speaker 6: I don't even remember. I paid it for the year.
- 9:31Speaker 6: I've saved more money just in a couple things I've
- 9:35Speaker 6: done with it. I've made my life more efficient with it.
- 9:38Speaker 2: What do you use it for? I mean, what did
- 9:41Speaker 2: you say, okay, this is worth the $ 200?
- 9:43Speaker 6: I mean.
- 9:48Speaker 6: You can do anything. Like, for example, I took a
- 9:50Speaker 6: picture of my stove the other day. I just said,
- 9:53Speaker 6: this is going on. Link me the part to Amazon
- 9:56Speaker 6: that I need. And boom, I just... put it in
- 10:00Speaker 6: my cart.
- 10:01Speaker 1: I put it in.
- 10:02Speaker 6: I said, hey, I got the part now. Give me
- 10:04Speaker 6: the YouTube video. I need to install this. That's the
- 10:06Speaker 6: simplest form. But you know, you could use it to
- 10:09Speaker 6: write yourself code on your computer. I don't know how
- 10:12Speaker 6: to write code.
- 10:13Speaker 4: Neither did I.
- 10:14Speaker 6: Use the AI to teach you how to even go
- 10:17Speaker 6: onto your computer to use the code to make you
- 10:19Speaker 6: things to make your life simpler. So you can write
- 10:22Speaker 6: programs for yourself. You can make apps for yourself. You
- 10:25Speaker 6: can do all sorts of different things. It's a big
- 10:29Speaker 6: time saver. You know, if you need to make a list,
- 10:31Speaker 6: my gosh, you just put it on voice to text
- 10:34Speaker 6: and you say, I need to know every single product
- 10:37Speaker 6: I need to buy, link it to a website, give
- 10:39Speaker 6: me the cost and then add it all up. Boom,
- 10:42Speaker 6: there you go. It's done. You don't have to manually
- 10:44Speaker 6: go through every single website, look for a cost of something.
- 10:47Speaker 6: If you want to make yourself an Excel spreadsheet that
- 10:50Speaker 6: does way more than you can ever fathom, you just
- 10:52Speaker 6: tell it what it needs to do. You're not going
- 10:55Speaker 6: into every cell, adding, subtracting parentheses, trying to make your
- 10:59Speaker 6: own things. Nobody knows how to do that unless you're
- 11:02Speaker 6: a pro.
- 11:02Speaker 3: I mean, I have not subscribed to this like you're saying,
- 11:05Speaker 3: but I'm going to tell you, I'm really intrigued with it.
- 11:08Speaker 3: I believe my son the other day, we were having
- 11:11Speaker 3: a problem in one of our trucks, okay? One side
- 11:15Speaker 3: was blowing up. The air conditioning. One side, get a
- 11:17Speaker 3: load of this, was blowing hot in a pickup truck,
- 11:23Speaker 3: and the other side was blowing cold. All right, so
- 11:26Speaker 3: he goes into AI, and AI says, well, it's this
- 11:31Speaker 3: part that's doing it because it's a dual zone thing.
- 11:34Speaker 3: I forget what they called that part. Anyway, it's this part,
- 11:39Speaker 3: and this is how you fix it. and so he
- 11:45Speaker 3: went to the auto parts store, bought the part, and
- 11:47Speaker 3: it took him 10 minutes to put it in. But
- 11:50Speaker 3: it was, I think, I believe it was all AI
- 11:53Speaker 3: generated from, here's the, like you were talking about stove,
- 11:58Speaker 3: here's what the year of the truck is, here's what
- 12:00Speaker 3: this is doing, what is, what's.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Wrong with it?
- 12:03Speaker 3: Well, it's probably this thing, you know, which, this part.
- 12:09Speaker 6: And you know, you have to be able to put
- 12:11Speaker 6: in to the AI, you know, you have to be
- 12:14Speaker 6: intelligent to actually use it too. You can't just take
- 12:16Speaker 6: a picture of your stove and say, fix this. So,
- 12:18Speaker 6: you know, you take a picture of the sticker on
- 12:20Speaker 6: the back of your stove, and then you say into
- 12:22Speaker 6: the AI, my stove isn't working. Here's the original manufacturing sticker.
- 12:26Speaker 6: I'm not sure if this is under warranty anymore. However,
- 12:29Speaker 6: I'm the original owner. Give me the phone number to
- 12:31Speaker 6: the exact customer service representative I need to speak with,
- 12:35Speaker 6: and then give me a dictation of exactly what I
- 12:37Speaker 6: need to say to them to make sure that this
- 12:39Speaker 6: part could be covered under the warranty if I'm, you know,
- 12:42Speaker 6: subject to receiving it. I don't want to waste any time.
- 12:45Speaker 6: Pretend like you're the world's greatest stove repair specialist.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Go.
- 12:55Speaker 3: I mean, I am so intrigued by what you're saying.
- 12:57Speaker 3: I've got to get on board with this. And you
- 13:00Speaker 3: use clawed?
- 13:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I use clawed.
- 13:03Speaker 6: Now, I'm a little apprehensive anymore.
- 13:05Speaker 8: Sorry.
- 13:06Speaker 6: I'm partial to some of these models because, you know,
- 13:11Speaker 6: they're only going to give you out what they want
- 13:14Speaker 6: to put in. So, yeah, you're probably good with any
- 13:17Speaker 6: of them, you know, doing simple things, okay? Real simple stuff.
- 13:24Speaker 3: I don't need to know how to write code or anything.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I just think you could use it in other aspects
- 13:28Speaker 3: of stuff.
- 13:30Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 13:31Speaker 9: Now, here's the thing.
- 13:32Speaker 6: If, you know, if you say, you know, you tell
- 13:34Speaker 6: one large language model, hey, who should I vote for
- 13:38Speaker 6: in the upcoming election? Well, you know, some might say, hey, well,
- 13:43Speaker 6: tell me a little bit about yourself. What's important to you?
- 13:46Speaker 6: What issues are important to you? Where another model could
- 13:50Speaker 6: just say, hey, this is who you should vote for.
- 13:53Speaker 6: Or you can say, hey, I want to vote for
- 13:54Speaker 6: this Republican.
- 13:56Speaker 2: I don't need it for that. I need it. I
- 13:58Speaker 2: would use it for other stuff.
- 14:01Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 14:02Speaker 6: And I mean, I'm going to pause.
- 14:04Speaker 2: For a second here.
- 14:05Speaker 3: So you're you're basically your point that you were making
- 14:08Speaker 3: is as these centers are being built. What if this
- 14:12Speaker 3: what if these all of these LLCs that are building
- 14:17Speaker 3: this stuff fail?
- 14:18Speaker 6: Right.
- 14:18Speaker 3: What if they become obsolete or fail? Who's on the
- 14:22Speaker 3: hook to clean to take care to take.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Care of that?
- 14:27Speaker 6: Ultimately, it is the taxpayer.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Right.
- 14:30Speaker 6: And, I mean, why would anybody know this? You have
- 14:33Speaker 6: to go through so many nuances. And, you know, this is–
- 14:35Speaker 6: for example, I was driving in the car. It was
- 14:37Speaker 6: like a two-hour ride. I put on– I have a
- 14:39Speaker 6: conversation with AI. So, you know, it will talk back
- 14:42Speaker 6: and forth to you. You put it on your speaker
- 14:43Speaker 6: and your phone in your car. And I'm just going through.
- 14:46Speaker 6: I'm like, you know– and I.
- 14:47Speaker 4: Just said this to the AI.
- 14:49Speaker 6: I pay $ 200 a year for this. Most people don't
- 14:52Speaker 6: pay anything. How are all these companies making all this
- 14:55Speaker 6: money in their stock– If nobody's paying for it, and
- 14:58Speaker 6: then I just go back and forth with it, and
- 15:00Speaker 6: I say, that's really interesting, Claude. Why don't you dig
- 15:03Speaker 6: deeper into that, and let's go down this path, and
- 15:05Speaker 6: it does it for you. It's just you're having a
- 15:07Speaker 6: conversation most of the times with an expert in whatever
- 15:12Speaker 6: field you want to discuss.
- 15:16Speaker 3: I mean, so you could make a resume that would
- 15:20Speaker 3: be just incredible. You could write a letter that would
- 15:22Speaker 3: be grammatically better than any letter that you could write.
- 15:25Speaker 3: You could diagnose a problem. You could say, here's my
- 15:30Speaker 3: blood work for my doctor, Claude. What do you think
- 15:33Speaker 3: of this? What should I be concerned about?
- 15:35Speaker 2: Or here's what medication.
- 15:37Speaker 6: Yeah, even better than that, not just your blood work.
- 15:40Speaker 6: You say, I'm Ron Verb. Here's my blood work. I
- 15:43Speaker 6: typically ate... eat a half a bag of Cool Ranch
- 15:46Speaker 6: Doritos every night because I can't control myself. I'm usually
- 15:50Speaker 6: sedentary between the hours of three and six. You can
- 15:53Speaker 6: get so precise because here's the thing.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Listen here, smartass.
- 15:58Speaker 6: You're going to the doctor. They're seeing 30 patients a day.
- 16:02Speaker 6: They look at your blood work. They say, this is
- 16:03Speaker 6: what you need. There you go. But if you tell
- 16:05Speaker 6: the AI, it can get even further into detail, but
- 16:09Speaker 6: you have to tell it. You have to say, You
- 16:11Speaker 6: have to be a, you know, I want you to
- 16:14Speaker 6: look at this as if you were the world's greatest cardiologist,
- 16:18Speaker 6: you know, oncologist, you know, you have to put all
- 16:21Speaker 6: those things into it because you have to tell it
- 16:22Speaker 6: what you want. And then you have to say, hold
- 16:25Speaker 6: this to memory, too. and it will learn from you,
- 16:28Speaker 6: and it will make your life better and hopefully healthier.
- 16:32Speaker 6: And then eventually it's going to come a day where
- 16:33Speaker 6: people don't need to have the intelligence to put into
- 16:36Speaker 6: it because it's going to get into artificial general intelligence
- 16:39Speaker 6: and then artificial super intelligence, and then that starts to
- 16:42Speaker 6: get really scary down the road. But for right now,
- 16:45Speaker 6: they're more so agents. They're just doing things for you.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Stand by for just another minute. I'm going to get
- 16:50Speaker 2: back to him in a minute. Stay tuned.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Well, Ron, we're going to check in with Debbie out
- 16:57Speaker 3: at White House Fruit Farm in Canfields. Boy, I've had
- 17:00Speaker 3: a lot of sweet corn, Debbie, and it's been wonderful.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Absolutely wonderful. What's going on at the farm?
- 17:07Speaker 9: Oh, let's talk about all the wonderful crops that are
- 17:09Speaker 9: in season right now. We're on our very last weekend
- 17:13Speaker 9: for local peaches, guys. So if you want one more
- 17:17Speaker 9: last gasp of peaches, make sure you come see us
- 17:19Speaker 9: this weekend or into very early next week because that's
- 17:23Speaker 9: going to be it. There won't be any more. We've
- 17:27Speaker 9: got Bartlett pears in season. Five kinds of apples are
- 17:31Speaker 9: in season now, including Honeycrisp and Sweet Maya and Somerset,
- 17:37Speaker 9: which is my personal favorite. Lots of sweet corn, as
- 17:41Speaker 9: you just said, including white sweet corn. Lots of tomatoes
- 17:44Speaker 9: if you want to do your canning and lots of
- 17:47Speaker 9: sweet and hot peppers. So stop out and see us.
- 17:50Speaker 9: It's absolutely the peak of homegrown season.
- 17:53Speaker 2: We had White House Shoot Farm in Canfield.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Looking for a gift that'll melt their heart?
- 17:57Speaker 2: WKBN.
- 17:58Speaker 3: You know what drives me crazy before I get back
- 18:01Speaker 3: to some of this other stuff? Do you watch YouTube
- 18:04Speaker 3: a lot, Alec?
- 18:06Speaker 6: Oh, love YouTube. I don't even watch regular TV.
- 18:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't watch as much regular TV at all anymore.
- 18:13Speaker 3: What really annoys me, I mean, just on YouTube in general,
- 18:15Speaker 3: do you have the subscription or not?
- 18:17Speaker 6: For skipping ads?
- 18:22Speaker 2: God, I can't stand the ads.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Like, I'll be watching even like a music video or
- 18:27Speaker 3: something like that.
- 18:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:28Speaker 3: And it would be just a nightmare to interrupt it
- 18:31Speaker 3: with a commercial.
- 18:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:33Speaker 6: Now, do you watch it on your TV or your phone?
- 18:37Speaker 2: I watch it on my phone.
- 18:39Speaker 6: Okay, so if you put it on your TV, I
- 18:40Speaker 6: just want something interesting about YouTube. I can tell anybody
- 18:44Speaker 6: a person's personality or who they are. If I went
- 18:47Speaker 6: into your YouTube account and just see what it recommended
- 18:49Speaker 6: for you, I'd tell you everything I need to know
- 18:51Speaker 6: about you, what you like, what you don't like, your beliefs,
- 18:54Speaker 6: your disbeliefs.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Okay, just hang on a second. So I want to
- 18:58Speaker 3: get this story. Wait one second here. Okay, I got
- 19:03Speaker 3: you on speaker. Do you hear me, Eric?
- 19:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Okay. Not you, Alec. Eric, do you hear me? Wait
- 19:09Speaker 2: a second.
- 19:09Speaker 3: I've got to turn this up a little bit.
- 19:12Speaker 2: All right. So you use what? You're on the air, incidentally.
- 19:15Speaker 2: You use Google what? What do you use, Eric? Gemini? Yeah.
- 19:20Speaker 2: All right. And that's AI?
- 19:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:25Speaker 3: And is that what helped you diagnose the truck problem
- 19:28Speaker 3: the other day?
- 19:28Speaker 10: Yeah, that and the valve coverings on both.
- 19:35Speaker 3: So you just said, this is the year truck I have,
- 19:38Speaker 3: this is what issues I have, and then it told
- 19:41Speaker 3: you this is what the issue is or what to do?
- 19:44Speaker 2: Your option.
- 19:45Speaker 7: But there's an app where you can just use it
- 19:47Speaker 7: straight on Google, type like a little synopsis, and then
- 19:50Speaker 7: it'll ask you questions to go more in-depth.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Is that the AI doing it?
- 19:56Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 19:57Speaker 3: And it told you, like, one side was blowing warm,
- 20:01Speaker 3: the other side was blowing cold, and it told you
- 20:03Speaker 3: to change what was it called?
- 20:04Speaker 10: Blend or actuated.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it told you how to do it, right?
- 20:11Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, it gives you, like, links to YouTube videos,
- 20:14Speaker 7: forum posts, things like that.
- 20:18Speaker 2: That's what you're... Go ahead.
- 20:20Speaker 7: So, I mean, it's obviously doing, like, Internet searches, too, and,
- 20:23Speaker 7: you know, probably using, like, keyword strokes or whatever and
- 20:30Speaker 7: just running it through probably, you know, just their search
- 20:33Speaker 7: engine and giving you quicker answers instead of just, you know,
- 20:37Speaker 7: going through a bunch of links.
- 20:39Speaker 2: And then you also use it for.
- 20:42Speaker 3: The goofy stuff like Alec was talking about, right? Which
- 20:45Speaker 3: is like the.
- 20:46Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, all the silly pictures, yeah.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Yeah, the pictures you can create.
- 20:49Speaker 6: But do you pay a subscription for that?
- 20:53Speaker 2: Do you pay a subscription for that, Eric?
- 20:56Speaker 7: No. There was something I tried doing, and it told
- 21:00Speaker 7: me I'd have to pay for it. And I'm too
- 21:02Speaker 7: cheap for that, so I just didn't do it.
- 21:04Speaker 6: Right. It'll throttle you down so that you don't use
- 21:07Speaker 6: as much, because that costs a lot of money for
- 21:10Speaker 6: Google for the energy to run those.
- 21:12Speaker 7: There's things you can pay, and there's more things you
- 21:14Speaker 7: can do, like Alex said, if you pay for it.
- 21:17Speaker 7: But I don't use it for that capacity, so there's
- 21:19Speaker 7: no point.
- 21:20Speaker 3: But it's probably worth a couple hundred a year. Would
- 21:22Speaker 3: you not agree, Alec? I mean, you pay a couple
- 21:24Speaker 3: hundred a year, right?
- 21:26Speaker 6: Oh, 100%.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Yeah, he said 100%. It's worth a couple hundred a year, 100%
- 21:31Speaker 3: on what you can do.
- 21:33Speaker 2: All right, that's what I want to know. Thanks, Eric.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Get back to work. All right, bye.
- 21:38Speaker 3: So that's the story of it. But anyway, it drives me.
- 21:42Speaker 3: I just want to get that in. It drives me
- 21:44Speaker 3: crazy when I'm watching YouTube on my phone and it
- 21:46Speaker 3: interrupts with a commercial. You're saying it's different if I
- 21:48Speaker 3: put it on my TV?
- 21:50Speaker 6: Well, no, you still have the commercials you got to
- 21:52Speaker 6: pay for, you know, to remove the ads. And that's
- 21:55Speaker 6: part of it, too. Like Eric's using Gemini, which is
- 21:58Speaker 6: from Google. But that's how Google makes its money is
- 22:01Speaker 6: from ads. And, you know, when a company wants to
- 22:04Speaker 6: advertise on Google, they want to be ranked number one
- 22:07Speaker 6: because most people don't even scroll down. They just click
- 22:10Speaker 6: on the first link. So if you're using the AI
- 22:12Speaker 6: and you're not clicking on more links and you're getting
- 22:14Speaker 6: the answers without, you know, using affiliate, you know, paid rankings,
- 22:21Speaker 6: you know, I don't know how Google's model is in
- 22:23Speaker 6: the future with that. I'm sure they figured it out.
- 22:25Speaker 6: You know, there's smarter people than me in their marketing
- 22:28Speaker 6: department there and, you know, planning. But, you know, Anthropic,
- 22:31Speaker 6: what I use from Quad, there's no advertisements on there.
- 22:35Speaker 6: So everything I use.
- 22:37Speaker 2: But everything costs same. What do you pay for your
- 22:40Speaker 2: YouTube subscription?
- 22:44Speaker 6: No, I'll get up and do something during a long
- 22:48Speaker 6: advertisement or just skip. Or that's where I just go
- 22:51Speaker 6: to my phone and scroll through X for 60 seconds
- 22:53Speaker 6: and get the news. It's like my break in between.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Yeah, but don't you find it annoying as all hell
- 22:58Speaker 3: that you're watching some video?
- 23:00Speaker 2: Hang on a second. I'm like YouTube. Stand by for
- 23:05Speaker 2: a minute. I've got to pause for commercials. I'll be
- 23:07Speaker 2: right back.
- 23:08Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKVN. The father of.
- 23:11Speaker 8: 16 children rescued from a filthy room in a hamlet
- 23:16Speaker 8: home has pleaded not guilty in Fenton County Court.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Gary Siders Jr.
- 23:20Speaker 8: Faces 19 counts of child endangerment and unlawful sexual conduct
- 23:24Speaker 8: with a minor. with prosecutors raising his cast bond to $ 550, 000.
- 23:28Speaker 8: All of the rescued kids remain in the care of
- 23:31Speaker 8: Children's Services, while a second underage marriage reveals more sex
- 23:35Speaker 8: crime indictments. And in the meantime, a Franklin County court
- 23:38Speaker 8: officer faces aggravated vehicular homicide charges for a deadly Columbus
- 23:42Speaker 8: hit-and-run on Cleveland Avenue. Juvenile court officer Denzel Kenley is
- 23:47Speaker 8: accused of striking and killing 71-year-old Anthony Farmer in Columbus
- 23:51Speaker 8: and fleeing the crash. The victim's daughter is deeply outraged
- 23:55Speaker 8: that Kenley still keeps his active job in Franklin County
- 23:58Speaker 8: Juvenile Court proceedings. I'm Brady Hopkins.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Listen on the free I heart radio app for all
- 24:04Speaker 1: your music news, talk and sports radio.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Podcast to download the app free.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Never sounded so good. A to Z depend on now
- 24:13Speaker 1: Ron verb on news radio, five 70 WKBN.
- 24:18Speaker 3: I'll get to more calls in a bit, but the
- 24:21Speaker 3: point Alec is anymore. They just, everything wants to charge
- 24:25Speaker 3: you some monthly fee for everything. Uh, Do you want
- 24:29Speaker 3: to Paramount Plus and all of this kind of stuff?
- 24:32Speaker 3: It is just ridiculous how much money you can spend
- 24:37Speaker 3: on this kind of stuff. Like when I say it's
- 24:40Speaker 3: annoying with YouTube and I watch it a lot, it's
- 24:43Speaker 3: such a great tool for so much stuff. But if
- 24:49Speaker 3: you're watching a Dolly Parton video because of her passing
- 24:52Speaker 3: singing some song and he interrupted with a commercial, it's
- 24:55Speaker 3: annoying as all hell.
- 24:57Speaker 6: Gosh, I did that the other night, too. That's so funny.
- 25:00Speaker 6: But you're the product if something is free. Don't forget.
- 25:04Speaker 6: So if you want it for free, you know, you're
- 25:06Speaker 6: paying one way or another. So you've got to pay
- 25:08Speaker 6: up for that kind of stuff. And, I mean, these
- 25:10Speaker 6: are multi-trillion dollar companies. They didn't get that way for nothing.
- 25:14Speaker 6: But my whole point, the whole conversation I talk about.
- 25:17Speaker 3: It surprises me that someone like you doesn't pay for
- 25:21Speaker 3: YouTube to have, don't have the commercials.
- 25:24Speaker 6: I'm not the first person to tell me that either.
- 25:26Speaker 6: But like I said, during the commercial, I have my
- 25:28Speaker 6: phone with me. I look at the news and I
- 25:31Speaker 6: do that. But this is where the whole thing comes
- 25:34Speaker 6: back to. Like you said, from the beginning with everything
- 25:37Speaker 6: with Facebook, there's no consequences for anything. There's no responsibility
- 25:42Speaker 6: and everything. We're just in a world of hurt, not
- 25:44Speaker 6: just our country with our finances. With the debt, the
- 25:48Speaker 6: whole world is having problems. Like we talked about Japan, France,
- 25:51Speaker 6: all these developed nations. And who's going to bail everybody
- 25:54Speaker 6: out if all of the developed nations all have problems
- 25:57Speaker 6: at the same time? I just think that there's something brewing,
- 26:00Speaker 6: just like we're talking about AI. You don't think that
- 26:02Speaker 6: the Treasury Department has these frontier model AIs that we
- 26:07Speaker 6: can't even get? You don't think that Claude and Gemini
- 26:10Speaker 6: and OpenAI and Grok, they're not giving these larger models
- 26:15Speaker 6: to the government so that they can have favor for,
- 26:18Speaker 6: you know, things down the road? I'm sure the Treasury
- 26:21Speaker 6: Department has put in basically like we just talked about, hey,
- 26:24Speaker 6: the country's got a big debt problem. How do we
- 26:27Speaker 6: fix it? Upload our entire 250 years of financial records
- 26:31Speaker 6: and planning towards the future and figure something out. You know,
- 26:34Speaker 6: we've had our currency for 55 years in essence. And
- 26:38Speaker 6: I think a lot is going to be changing. I
- 26:39Speaker 6: don't want to get into the weeds. Russia is doing
- 26:42Speaker 6: crazy things. They've got some laws going in September 1st
- 26:45Speaker 6: to try to block what we're about to do in
- 26:47Speaker 6: the middle of September. All these things are happening fast,
- 26:50Speaker 6: and with AI, if it's used properly and you're using
- 26:54Speaker 6: it to do things that are beneficial to society, it
- 26:58Speaker 6: moves a lot faster than we can even think. So
- 27:01Speaker 6: I think things are going to be moving a lot faster, too.
- 27:03Speaker 6: And like I always said, the news travels so fast,
- 27:06Speaker 6: it's one thing after another. You forget about what just
- 27:08Speaker 6: happened the week before, and it gets brushed under the rug.
- 27:11Speaker 6: So we live in crazy times. Everything's crazy. It moves fast.
- 27:16Speaker 6: And it's hard to really solve all these problems when
- 27:19Speaker 6: the next one shows up the next week.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to look into this. All right.
- 27:26Speaker 3: Appreciate it, man. Thanks for your time. And he's Radio 570.
- 27:29Speaker 3: Let me talk to you about Stadium GM, which is
- 27:34Speaker 3: right in the heart of Salem.
- 27:35Speaker 2: One dealership.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Not a dealership part of a big conglomerate where you're
- 27:41Speaker 3: just kind of a number. Or they don't appreciate your business.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Or they don't even really know your name. Or the
- 27:49Speaker 3: salesman who used to be there isn't there anymore. The
- 27:52Speaker 3: people in charge aren't there anymore. Now, that isn't what
- 27:56Speaker 3: the case is when you go to Stadium GM. Everything
- 27:58Speaker 3: that General Motors makes is under one roof at Stadium
- 28:02Speaker 3: GM in the heart of Salem. Locally owned and operated,
- 28:05Speaker 3: Shorty Navarro, with a family philosophy that wants your business,
- 28:10Speaker 3: wants to keep your business, wants the rest of your
- 28:12Speaker 3: family's business, and wants... your business generation after generation. And
- 28:17Speaker 3: they've succeeded at doing that over the years. One dealership, all, everything. Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Chevrolet,
- 28:29Speaker 3: all under one roof. Leasing, buying, used cars. Go on
- 28:33Speaker 3: to website stadiumgm.com. Take a look at all the used
- 28:36Speaker 3: product that's out there in the Carfax reports and a
- 28:39Speaker 3: reasonable pricing.
- 28:40Speaker 2: What are you looking for? It's right there.
- 28:43Speaker 3: So scroll the website, stadiumgm.com, stop on down, see the guys.
- 28:48Speaker 3: It's where we bought our cars, and we'll continue to
- 28:51Speaker 3: buy our cars because you won't find a better dealership
- 28:54Speaker 3: or better people and a better experience.
- 28:57Speaker 2: And I share that with you.
- 28:58Speaker 3: So if you're in the market for a vehicle, pay
- 29:01Speaker 3: a stop to Stadium GM in the heart of Salem.
- 29:05Speaker 10: All right.
- 29:07Speaker 2: You're on the air.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Ron.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Boss Lady. Boss Lady.
- 29:13Speaker 5: How are you?
- 29:14Speaker 2: I'm well. Thank you for asking.
- 29:17Speaker 10: How about you?
- 29:19Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 29:19Speaker 10: I'm really good. I'm extremely busy. But I heard Alec
- 29:23Speaker 10: talk about how I use AI as a Google.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Do you use AI?
- 29:30Speaker 10: Ron, you must have been sleeping. I went through all
- 29:34Speaker 10: of the ways that I used AI like two weeks ago.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Do you subscribe to it?
- 29:38Speaker 10: I use it in an advanced way.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Okay.
- 29:40Speaker 10: I use it to create executive briefs, do root cause analysis,
- 29:45Speaker 10: help with decision support, make operational changes. I use it
- 29:49Speaker 10: to analyze different patterns in my business, tell me risks.
- 29:58Speaker 10: I use it at a high level. I am having
- 30:01Speaker 10: it interpret data for me. I'm having it to do analysis.
- 30:05Speaker 10: I hardly even use my email. I hardly open email anymore.
- 30:09Speaker 10: AI would spit it out. I hate when people send
- 30:11Speaker 10: emails that are like 14 paragraphs long. It's like a
- 30:14Speaker 10: pet peeve of mine in business because I'm like, give
- 30:17Speaker 10: me the cliff notes.
- 30:18Speaker 5: So I don't read them.
- 30:20Speaker 10: I have AI tell me the high and the low points.
- 30:24Speaker 10: It is so fantastic. I have it doing budgets. I
- 30:27Speaker 10: have it used in Excel. It's creating PowerPoints. I have
- 30:30Speaker 10: it as my personal assistant. I have it directing all
- 30:33Speaker 10: of my workers, providing them with support. It's absolutely amazing.
- 30:40Speaker 10: And it's easy. And the best part about it is,
- 30:42Speaker 10: I mean, I even had it help us build a website.
- 30:45Speaker 10: I mean, you can literally, you could be, you have to,
- 30:49Speaker 10: what Alex.
- 30:49Speaker 5: Said was correct.
- 30:50Speaker 10: You have to be smart enough to know what you're
- 30:51Speaker 10: asking and smart enough to know whether it's giving you
- 30:54Speaker 10: faulty information. But the way I avoid that is I
- 30:57Speaker 10: input my information or I'm having it pull information from
- 31:01Speaker 10: a business intelligence, like a Power BI or from a
- 31:05Speaker 10: SharePoint site or from a ticketing system that I have built.
- 31:10Speaker 10: So you could have it pull or you could feed it.
- 31:14Speaker 10: And some people are not smart enough to feed it.
- 31:17Speaker 10: But you have to use your brain with it. But
- 31:21Speaker 10: you could absolutely. I just had to walk me through
- 31:26Speaker 10: something complicated that I had to have fixed, just like
- 31:28Speaker 10: he did with his dose. It's the best thing ever.
- 31:31Speaker 10: And I have a paid version.
- 31:33Speaker 2: You do or do not?
- 31:35Speaker 1: I do.
- 31:36Speaker 2: You have a paid version?
- 31:36Speaker 10: Oh, I do.
- 31:37Speaker 2: How much does it cost?
- 31:38Speaker 1: Nothing.
- 31:40Speaker 10: I think mine's like $ 140 or maybe $ 140, $ 170 a month.
- 31:43Speaker 10: I didn't even pay attention. It's so worth it. That
- 31:46Speaker 10: one I use for personal, and my company really does
- 31:48Speaker 10: not like it. You should not be putting company information.
- 31:51Speaker 10: That's another big no-no. You don't want to put company
- 31:54Speaker 10: information and start uploading that stuff into AI or whatever
- 31:58Speaker 10: tool you're using, whether it's Quad, Taxi PT, Copilot. But
- 32:01Speaker 10: then I have a work one that is paid for
- 32:03Speaker 10: by work, so that one is even more robust, and I'm...
- 32:08Speaker 10: already trying to build an agent with it. So I
- 32:11Speaker 10: use Copilot and Studio to build my own agent that
- 32:16Speaker 10: actually responds to my employees when they're not sure what
- 32:20Speaker 10: to do.
- 32:21Speaker 2: So the one that you have for work costs more
- 32:25Speaker 2: than your personal one, right?
- 32:26Speaker 10: Well, I'm sure it does, yeah. I don't know what
- 32:28Speaker 10: the exact cost is. Yeah, that doesn't fall into my budget,
- 32:33Speaker 10: but not directly into my budget, indirectly.
- 32:36Speaker 5: But So I don't know what that one costs.
- 32:39Speaker 10: But yeah, personally, I use it for everything. I mean,
- 32:41Speaker 10: I have it sending reminders. Like for example, I have
- 32:45Speaker 10: it like running jobs for me all the time where like,
- 32:49Speaker 10: you know, my son wrestles and the schedule never comes out.
- 32:52Speaker 10: So I tell it anytime you see Baldwin Wallace on
- 32:55Speaker 10: a wrestling schedule, please update the schedule and send to me.
- 32:59Speaker 10: So this morning I woke up and it had already
- 33:01Speaker 10: updated and said, well, on this day, you're going to
- 33:03Speaker 10: be at this place at this time. And it just
- 33:06Speaker 10: keeps a running tally. I don't even have to ask
- 33:08Speaker 10: it anymore for information. It's feeding me the information that
- 33:12Speaker 10: I want because I've already sent programmed what my initiatives
- 33:16Speaker 10: are right so like at my work one i say
- 33:19Speaker 10: here's my five strategic priorities for the year this is
- 33:22Speaker 10: what i need to accomplish and i need to accomplish
- 33:24Speaker 10: by this date and then i will it then it's
- 33:27Speaker 10: pulling information and it's pacing and tracking how i'm how
- 33:31Speaker 10: i'm doing against those strategic priorities to hit my goals
- 33:33Speaker 10: and and metrics for the year But as an executive level,
- 33:38Speaker 10: it's like having like 20 of the best administrative assistants
- 33:43Speaker 10: you could even imagine. And it's doing the work 10
- 33:45Speaker 10: times faster than they can even think.
- 33:46Speaker 7: That's really.
- 33:50Speaker 10: It's impressive. It's absolutely amazing. I mean, yeah, the simple
- 33:54Speaker 10: ones are, who does this play? Or how do I
- 33:58Speaker 10: bake a cake? And of course, I.
- 34:01Speaker 5: Use it that way too.
- 34:02Speaker 10: But that's like, an idiot can do that. I'm using
- 34:06Speaker 10: it to build systems, to review data. But you also
- 34:12Speaker 10: have to be smart enough, especially if you're using it
- 34:14Speaker 10: outside of a... in cold environment where the inputs, you know,
- 34:19Speaker 10: are accurate. If you're asking it for input, you have
- 34:21Speaker 10: to double and triple check it because it's going into
- 34:23Speaker 10: the open, you know, it's open internet and it's pulling
- 34:28Speaker 10: down opinions as well as facts. But when you're in
- 34:31Speaker 10: a more secure and tightened atmosphere, like area, like as work,
- 34:35Speaker 10: you're pulling in only work related information. So it's never
- 34:39Speaker 10: going to get schizophrenic on you.
- 34:41Speaker 3: So when you're using it for work and you're putting
- 34:43Speaker 3: in all that information about work, Are you worried about
- 34:48Speaker 3: a data.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Breach or anything?
- 34:49Speaker 10: No, because it's controlled. It's in my work environment. But
- 34:53Speaker 10: I would never take, like, my Excel spreadsheets to contain
- 34:57Speaker 10: privy information and upload them into my personal one, because
- 35:01Speaker 10: now I just put it out there into the world.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 35:08Speaker 10: So that's the only time. I mean, if it's something that's,
- 35:12Speaker 10: you know, sensitive... Especially if you're like a publicly traded company,
- 35:18Speaker 10: you don't want to be pulling down. I mean, I
- 35:22Speaker 10: would think your IT is watching everything you're doing. You're
- 35:24Speaker 10: going to get in trouble if you do something like that.
- 35:26Speaker 10: But when you said like diagnostics for health care and
- 35:30Speaker 10: things like that, I was just watching.
- 35:32Speaker 6: Who was I listening to?
- 35:34Speaker 10: Dan Bongino. And he's so pro. AI and data centers.
- 35:38Speaker 5: And he really made me think a little bit more
- 35:41Speaker 5: about it.
- 35:43Speaker 10: Because of the amount of good that it can do
- 35:46Speaker 10: for society as a whole and that are we really...
- 35:49Speaker 10: Is this what we really want? Do we really want
- 35:52Speaker 10: to stop this in its tracks and derail what it
- 35:56Speaker 10: could mean? And when you think about like cancer cured
- 35:59Speaker 10: in four years, Because AI is capable of thinking faster
- 36:06Speaker 10: and grabbing data from all over the world, compiling it
- 36:09Speaker 10: and spitting out what works, what doesn't work, what blood
- 36:11Speaker 10: type works with this.
- 36:12Speaker 5: I mean, you've got to be careful.
- 36:17Speaker 10: So I don't know. I'm kind of going back to
- 36:19Speaker 10: I'm pro data center. I just don't want these big, massive,
- 36:24Speaker 10: honking things that are going to be obsolete within... Probably
- 36:29Speaker 10: a year. I mean, a year or two years. They'll
- 36:31Speaker 10: be obsolete. You won't need, you know, 100 acres of.
- 36:35Speaker 2: So let me ask you what I ask him, because... Now,
- 36:39Speaker 2: how do I say this? I mean... You're not a
- 36:42Speaker 2: spring chicken, okay?
- 36:44Speaker 10: No, I'm 52.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Okay, well, you're not that old.
- 36:48Speaker 3: So I was just going to say, but you've embraced
- 36:51Speaker 3: all of this kind of stuff. I'm really intrigued by
- 36:53Speaker 3: it all. I'll get my tutor, my son, Eric, to
- 36:58Speaker 3: guide me along this path. I think this sounds wonderful.
- 37:02Speaker 3: So you're saying it's benefited you from a personal standpoint
- 37:06Speaker 3: in reminders or fixing stuff.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Or doing that kind of stuff.
- 37:11Speaker 10: Yep, set my schedule. Remind me I have an appointment
- 37:14Speaker 10: on Monday at 8.30. Remind me that my hair appointment's
- 37:16Speaker 10: on Tuesday. Remind me that I have to return my
- 37:19Speaker 10: Amazon package. Remind me, okay, here's the last three times.
- 37:24Speaker 10: Remind me on Tuesday, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
- 37:28Speaker 10: at 8 a.m. to take my medicine. It literally will
- 37:31Speaker 10: just chime in and say, it's time to take your medicine.
- 37:34Speaker 10: You're out of, you know, I could just talk to
- 37:36Speaker 10: and say, make a grocery list.
- 37:38Speaker 5: I need all these items to.
- 37:40Speaker 10: Make this recipe and remind me on Saturday.
- 37:43Speaker 2: So your personal one cost you, what, a couple hundred
- 37:46Speaker 2: a year?
- 37:46Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's a little less than what he's using.
- 37:50Speaker 10: I think he said quite, I think mine's like 150
- 37:53Speaker 10: or something like that.
- 37:54Speaker 5: Honestly, it was so, it was a no-brainer.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Which one do you use?
- 37:59Speaker 10: I use Tag2BT personally, and I use Copilot at work.
- 38:06Speaker 5: But I've used Quad, too.
- 38:08Speaker 10: I have that. I don't know why I always go
- 38:12Speaker 10: to Tag2BT, but I have the paid subscription to Tag2BT.
- 38:15Speaker 10: I have the free version of Quad.
- 38:17Speaker 3: And do you sit back with it and go, this
- 38:19Speaker 3: is amazing? Every single day. I mean, it's incredible.
- 38:24Speaker 5: I tell people all the time, like, what do.
- 38:26Speaker 10: You mean you're doing a PowerPoint? I haven't done a
- 38:28Speaker 10: PowerPoint in a year.
- 38:31Speaker 5: I mean, I clean up PowerPoints, but if you're, you know.
- 38:34Speaker 10: You give it, if you give it really good details
- 38:36Speaker 10: and really good information, you've just got to be good
- 38:39Speaker 10: at prompting it. If you're going to use it for
- 38:41Speaker 10: like to give an executive readout or like be in
- 38:44Speaker 10: a business meeting, but like a normal thing, it's, you're
- 38:49Speaker 10: not using it for business.
- 38:50Speaker 5: It's, My gosh, it's like the.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Same thing.
- 38:55Speaker 3: So you use it like it's like having an assistant
- 38:58Speaker 3: that reminds you of stuff or looks up stuff or
- 39:01Speaker 3: assists you with information that you need. This is on
- 39:07Speaker 3: your phone and you just speak to it?
- 39:10Speaker 10: I speak to it, I sometimes type to it, but
- 39:12Speaker 10: I also... What he said was important, and I said
- 39:15Speaker 10: this before.
- 39:15Speaker 5: On your air, you have to tell it committed to memory, right?
- 39:19Speaker 10: So here's the things that I want you to make
- 39:21Speaker 10: sure you're tracking.
- 39:22Speaker 5: So for my home.
- 39:23Speaker 10: Life, you know, it could be.
- 39:25Speaker 5: Like my travel arrangement.
- 39:28Speaker 10: And every time I say travel, tell me where I
- 39:30Speaker 10: need to be and when.
- 39:32Speaker 5: Right? So when is Baldwin Wallace? When am I traveling
- 39:35Speaker 5: for Baldwin Wallace?
- 39:36Speaker 10: It's automatically going to recognize it because it's committed it
- 39:38Speaker 10: to memory. It already knows what I want to know.
- 39:40Speaker 10: So it's going to go out there and source it.
- 39:43Speaker 10: And I don't even have to ask for it to
- 39:44Speaker 10: go look anymore. Like I said, this morning, it popped
- 39:47Speaker 10: in and refreshed the calendar for me. I didn't tell
- 39:49Speaker 10: it to do it. It knew what I wanted because
- 39:52Speaker 10: I was very clear about I'm very demanding. I've sworn it,
- 39:58Speaker 10: Chassie DC. I mean, you can see the hieroglyphics I
- 40:01Speaker 10: typed into some of those commands because sometimes the personal
- 40:04Speaker 10: one glitches.
- 40:07Speaker 2: It's really incredible, isn't it?
- 40:09Speaker 10: I mean, it's... It's the best thing.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Do you, from what you know, can you see it
- 40:15Speaker 2: replacing a lot of people's work? Yes or no?
- 40:18Speaker 5: Yes.
- 40:18Speaker 10: Yes, absolutely. Lower level work. You're still going to need
- 40:21Speaker 10: higher level people to interpret and analyze and catch the errors.
- 40:25Speaker 10: And you're going to need the higher level people to
- 40:27Speaker 10: put the thoughts into a Power BI so that it
- 40:30Speaker 10: can pull it out of Power BI, right? So somebody's
- 40:33Speaker 10: got to create the document, the information that you're feeding it,
- 40:37Speaker 10: It evolves and it learns, but somebody's got to create
- 40:41Speaker 10: the information. So when I upload a document that's 30
- 40:46Speaker 10: pages and it's got all these processes that I want
- 40:48Speaker 10: it to follow, that's the guide. But somebody had to
- 40:51Speaker 10: create that, me. I created it.
- 40:55Speaker 2: And so now I'm.
- 40:56Speaker 10: Getting a command to follow it. So when somebody asks
- 40:59Speaker 10: this question, this is how you always will respond.
- 41:03Speaker 2: I'm short on time today. I've got to pause. Thank you,
- 41:06Speaker 2: boss lady.
- 41:07Speaker 10: That's all right.
- 41:08Speaker 5: All right.
- 41:08Speaker 6: Bye-bye.
- 41:08Speaker 2: I'll be back.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Your one stop for advertising. Talk Station 570 WKBN.
- 41:18Speaker 3: I'm telling you, some of these people are just absolutely fascinating.
- 41:21Speaker 3: I mean, what she just got done telling me was
- 41:23Speaker 3: just interesting and Alec on this whole stuff.
- 41:25Speaker 2: I get it. Technology is incredible. It really is. Ron,
- 41:29Speaker 2: Verb News Radio 570 WKBN. You're on the air. Running
- 41:32Speaker 2: out of time.
- 41:33Speaker 4: All right. Hey, Ron. It took me 29 years to
- 41:37Speaker 4: call you back. Now it's two weeks later. My last
- 41:40Speaker 4: job was with Microsoft in the AI division.
- 41:43Speaker 2: So I've got.
- 41:44Speaker 4: Some credit here. And I wanted to say, one of
- 41:53Speaker 4: the things that I do with AI is to fact
- 41:55Speaker 4: check my local talk show hosts. And I asked it
- 41:59Speaker 4: a while ago. while Obama was president, did the power
- 42:03Speaker 4: grid increase total power or decrease? And the answer is
- 42:07Speaker 4: a great increase of total power of the grid in
- 42:11Speaker 4: his eight years because he incentivized solar and had an
- 42:17Speaker 4: explosion of solar and didn't turn off any of those
- 42:22Speaker 4: power plants, the coal-based power plants. He didn't turn them
- 42:26Speaker 4: off until he had reached the gains of from solar
- 42:31Speaker 4: into the same grid.
- 42:34Speaker 2: Well, ask your AI.
- 42:37Speaker 3: They regulated those plants out of business and insisted that
- 42:41Speaker 3: they be torn down.
- 42:44Speaker 2: Right. And that is accurate. And the solar plants did
- 42:48Speaker 2: not produce the.
- 42:50Speaker 4: They do.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Well, tell me what replaced.
- 42:56Speaker 3: What replaced the Samus plant?
- 42:59Speaker 2: In a power it created.
- 43:00Speaker 4: When you consider all sources of power.
- 43:02Speaker 2: I'm just interested in where I live. Solar.
- 43:07Speaker 4: Now, hold on. Between solar.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Go ahead. Okay.
- 43:16Speaker 3: You're going to have to call me tomorrow because I'm
- 43:19Speaker 3: literally running out of time because I've got to go
- 43:21Speaker 3: to the YSU game here.
- 43:22Speaker 2: All right.
- 43:23Speaker 3: So we'll pick it up. I mean, I don't agree
- 43:25Speaker 3: with that. I got R-I, Ron Intelligence. Hey, let me
- 43:29Speaker 3: talk to you about Stadium GM, and I always encourage
- 43:32Speaker 3: folks to visit the dealership. I do that, and I'm
- 43:35Speaker 3: proud to talk to you about it because I'm a
- 43:37Speaker 3: customer and a longtime customer. of Stadium GM and a
- 43:41Speaker 3: satisfied customer. And a lot of times people can dread
- 43:44Speaker 3: going to car dealerships because they got to renew a
- 43:47Speaker 3: lease or buy a used car, buy a new car.
- 43:49Speaker 2: They dread it.
- 43:50Speaker 3: I can take that away from you and let you
- 43:53Speaker 3: know that there's a place you can go and enjoy
- 43:55Speaker 3: it and feel comfortable where they genuinely do appreciate your business,
- 43:59Speaker 3: want it, and want the rest of your family's business.
- 44:01Speaker 3: It's the dealership Stadium GM in Salem. I brag about
- 44:04Speaker 3: the fact it's not part of a big conglomerate. It's
- 44:08Speaker 3: one dealership, all the GM products under one roof, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Chevrolet.
- 44:14Speaker 3: So whatever you're looking for, they will have it, whether
- 44:17Speaker 3: you're looking for New, used, leased, whatever the case might be.
- 44:21Speaker 3: The website is stadiumgm.com. Great service departments. It's just the
- 44:25Speaker 3: way you should be treated, and it's the way you
- 44:28Speaker 3: are treated at Stadium GM in the heart of Salem.
- 44:32Speaker 3: I invite you to visit it and enjoy all that
- 44:35Speaker 3: they have to offer. Ron Verp from NewsRadio 570 WKBN.

- 44:50Speaker 3: pregame festivities coming up. Great day for it as well.
