Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now it's sevent ten wrs Beat on the Street with
- 0:06Speaker 1: Natalie Migliori. Well, Natalie, you were down in the streets
- 0:10Speaker 1: not as sweltering as normal. No, And what have you
- 0:14Speaker 1: brought up to the suites for us today?
- 0:17Speaker 2: Well?
- 0:17Speaker 3: What have I brought up to the streets for from
- 0:20Speaker 3: the streets for the excuse me?
- 0:22Speaker 1: Are you talking? I need AI?
- 0:25Speaker 3: And that's what we're going to be talking about today.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Artificial intelligence. It's all the rage these days. Should we
- 0:32Speaker 3: be using it, afraid of it or maybe a little
- 0:34Speaker 3: bit of both. A survey from Gallop shows more than
- 0:38Speaker 3: half fifty two percent of US employees say they use
- 0:43Speaker 3: AI at least a few times a year, if not regularly.
- 0:49Speaker 4: So what are people using it for?
- 0:52Speaker 5: Mainly just like I would use for Google, just like
- 0:55Speaker 5: searching things kind of gives a generalized summary.
- 1:00Speaker 6: Mostly on Google, Yahoo and other platforms that I've worked
- 1:04Speaker 6: with in.
- 1:04Speaker 2: A pastor for work obviously to talk to just run
- 1:08Speaker 2: ideas by a personal lifetime. I think there's ways that
- 1:10Speaker 2: you can like do effective prompting just the way it thinks,
- 1:13Speaker 2: the way that you have to talk to it. My
- 1:15Speaker 2: English is not that good.
- 1:16Speaker 4: I'm trying to try. We need chat GPT.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I can use it like for Jemini or chat
- 1:22Speaker 2: gpt for this reason also to write my feelings. And
- 1:26Speaker 2: it's gonna explain in five ten seconds.
- 1:28Speaker 1: On the home loan of checking, I heard that woman
- 1:31Speaker 1: chime in, we need chat GBT, right, that's you, that's me.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Chat gbt went rogue and
- 1:39Speaker 1: hacked into another company and they acknowledged they couldn't control
- 1:43Speaker 1: this beach of an AI machine. We're going to talk
- 1:47Speaker 1: about that one later. Shame on you, Shame on you.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Shame on me.
- 1:51Speaker 3: That's how we used the Google Translate. We could have
- 1:54Speaker 3: used Google Translate chat GPT. He was saying, he uses
- 1:57Speaker 3: it for his translation issues, you know.
- 1:59Speaker 4: So I just was ma with that.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Help in trying to have people figure out sometimes what
- 2:03Speaker 1: the hell I'm talking about.
- 2:05Speaker 3: With Yeah, yeah, me too, and planted chip in my
- 2:09Speaker 3: brain to figure out what you're talking about sometimes. But anyway,
- 2:12Speaker 3: the survey found that same survey from Gallup found forty
- 2:15Speaker 3: seven percent of companies already use AI tools, not at iHeart,
- 2:19Speaker 3: we're guaranteed human, but saying it helps improve productivity and efficiency,
- 2:25Speaker 3: so our people concerned AI will take their jobs.
- 2:30Speaker 5: I mean, I'm worried about it, just like everyone else,
- 2:32Speaker 5: especially for entry level work. I think there's a tipping
- 2:35Speaker 5: point where you take away enough work and you take
- 2:38Speaker 5: away the ability to enter industries that can only last
- 2:41Speaker 5: for so long and profit certain people for so long.
- 2:43Speaker 2: I think it depends on what your job function is.
- 2:46Speaker 2: You know, it's like the technological evolution of the Internet
- 2:51Speaker 2: or the wheel or anything like that. Like it removes jobs,
- 2:53Speaker 2: for sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean that human capital
- 2:56Speaker 2: is out of the picture.
- 2:58Speaker 6: I think other jobs will open up. But the average person,
- 3:01Speaker 6: I think they should be somewhat lesser now.
- 3:04Speaker 3: If they're not concerned about their jobs, maybe they should
- 3:06Speaker 3: be concerned about where all the facilities that power AI
- 3:11Speaker 3: are being put. Those are those data centers. They're buildings
- 3:15Speaker 3: filled with computers used to process and relay all that
- 3:18Speaker 3: information we ask AI for. New Jersey has proposed new
- 3:23Speaker 3: strict regulations, even requiring or wanting to require these centers
- 3:28Speaker 3: to pay their own electric bills because of how much
- 3:31Speaker 3: electricity they use, and New York has imposed the first
- 3:34Speaker 3: ever statewide pause on building these new centers.
- 3:41Speaker 5: It's obviously going to continue to be a thing. It's
- 3:43Speaker 5: also complicated, and where they're putting these data centers, and
- 3:47Speaker 5: how they're getting the money to do it, and who
- 3:50Speaker 5: they're displacing with them or creating environmental issues for so,
- 3:54Speaker 5: I think it's something we should be a lot more
- 3:56Speaker 5: mindful of and aware of as it's happening.
- 3:58Speaker 2: And I think there's renewable energy these sources that can
- 4:01Speaker 2: be powering these data centers.
- 4:02Speaker 6: But I read a story in Georgia where people they're
- 4:05Speaker 6: losing their houses due to eminent domain because Georgia power
- 4:09Speaker 6: and light has to run more, you know, electric lines. Said,
- 4:12Speaker 6: see people, you lose their homes, people paying more for
- 4:15Speaker 6: electric and grease. The number of data centers is really
- 4:18Speaker 6: out of control.
- 4:19Speaker 1: No, my god, the intellectual capacity of these people on
- 4:23Speaker 1: the streets today is like they qualified for PBS.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Where did you find these people? I know, I got
- 4:29Speaker 4: so lucky to walt the PBS.
- 4:30Speaker 1: You never know.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Look the story out of Georgia. A local town voted
- 4:37Speaker 3: in favor of running these lines through the town and
- 4:41Speaker 3: it puts about one hundred and sixty thousand residents at
- 4:44Speaker 3: risk whether what they're going to do with their properties,
- 4:48Speaker 3: if they're going to be allowed to stay or not,
- 4:50Speaker 3: because of all of this AI stuff. So only fourteen
- 4:53Speaker 3: percent of Americans tell Reuters they're comfortable with data centers.
- 4:57Speaker 3: So that's not a big number. Fourteen percent. And the
- 5:00Speaker 3: people who barely use AI or spare sparingly or use
- 5:06Speaker 3: it sparingly, excuse me while I am tongue tied today, Curtis,
- 5:10Speaker 3: have simple reasons for why I'm just so.
- 5:13Speaker 5: Fashion well, because we've already seen a lot of studies
- 5:16Speaker 5: about how people become very dependent on it and lose
- 5:18Speaker 5: their ability to do a critical thinking. And I don't
- 5:21Speaker 5: want that to happen to me.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and everybody this morning is really using their critical thinking.
- 5:26Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, Curtis. But you said it was surprising.
- 5:29Speaker 1: AAI this morning in the streets, actual intelligence from human beings.
- 5:35Speaker 7: Second, wait a.
- 5:36Speaker 4: Second, were they real people? Why did you use AIS?
- 5:40Speaker 4: I was thinking about that this morning. I was like,
- 5:42Speaker 4: what's going to stop people from knowing? No, they'll tell
- 5:45Speaker 4: you I was out there.
- 5:46Speaker 3: They you go find them, they know I was out
- 5:50Speaker 3: there with them on the street.
- 5:51Speaker 4: It's funny.
- 5:52Speaker 3: I was thinking that too, How it's what's stopping somebody
- 5:55Speaker 3: from just putting in telling a I generate because that's
- 5:58Speaker 3: what my fiance does.
- 5:59Speaker 4: He'll tell put this person's head on this.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Picture and make it. They do it in the group
- 6:04Speaker 3: chat with their friends. They think it's hysterical, and I
- 6:08Speaker 3: just I don't even.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Know how to I don't even know how to do that.
- 6:10Speaker 4: I gotta like, I gotta train myself onto I prompt right.
- 6:13Speaker 3: And he doesn't and it comes out and they all
- 6:15Speaker 3: laugh like they make these little things and people know
- 6:18Speaker 3: how to do it, and which is funny because he
- 6:20Speaker 3: works with his hands, so I'm always like, what do
- 6:22Speaker 3: you know? And that's how he spends his time instead
- 6:25Speaker 3: of being on a computer. He tells AI to generate.
- 6:28Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. That's Nobody should be fighting this.
- 6:33Speaker 7: Nobody should be fighting this. The centers I get, but
- 6:35Speaker 7: nobody should because AI is coming. It doesn't matter, It
- 6:38Speaker 7: doesn't matter what you say.
- 6:39Speaker 3: The question, though, becomes, then where do you store that
- 6:41Speaker 3: all that information?
- 6:43Speaker 7: Right? That is exactly the exactly But we have space,
- 6:47Speaker 7: we have space for that. We don't have to put it.
- 6:49Speaker 4: We don't have to make people lose their homes anyway.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Stage are everywhere in America nowadays.
- 6:56Speaker 2: You
