Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, chat Gpt, give me a cartoon image in the
- 0:04Speaker 1: style of Charles Schultz of Jack being torn apart by lions.
- 0:07Speaker 1: It's one more thing I'm.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Before we get to whatever that is. I mentioned on
- 0:15Speaker 2: the radio show because we were fostering some baby ducks
- 0:18Speaker 2: in our pool for the last day. Is that my son? Wisely?
- 0:22Speaker 2: Because I asked him the question. I said, because we're
- 0:25Speaker 2: trying to figure out what to do with these baby
- 0:26Speaker 2: ducks swimming around in the pool, and I didn't know
- 0:28Speaker 2: if they were fine or I kind of assumed they
- 0:30Speaker 2: were fine. Turns out I was way wrong. Thank god.
- 0:33Speaker 2: He looked into it more. But like how old the
- 0:36Speaker 2: ducks have to be before they can fly? And he
- 0:39Speaker 2: got he took a picture of the ducks next to
- 0:41Speaker 2: the mama duck and gave it to chat GPT or
- 0:44Speaker 2: Claude or somebody an image how old are these ducks
- 0:48Speaker 2: and could they fly? And it came back with those
- 0:50Speaker 2: are the specific kind of duck North American blah blah blah,
- 0:54Speaker 2: how old they likely were, and how many more days
- 0:57Speaker 2: it would be before they could fly?
- 0:59Speaker 3: Stunning.
- 0:59Speaker 2: I mean, that sort of tool.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Is just amazing, right right, But then it incorrectly told
- 1:06Speaker 1: you that if you touched, the true mother will reject them,
- 1:09Speaker 1: which is garbage in, garbage out, conventional wisdom, which turns
- 1:12Speaker 1: out not to be accurate, apparently true.
- 1:16Speaker 2: It's like this happened yesterday. I had asked Claude, I
- 1:21Speaker 2: think I said, how many points did Steph Curry have
- 1:25Speaker 2: in that game they won last night? The Warriors won
- 1:28Speaker 2: last night against the Clippers. And it came back and
- 1:30Speaker 2: it said the Warriors did not play the Clippers last night.
- 1:33Speaker 2: The season ends next week, their current game. I was like,
- 1:36Speaker 2: My response was, how can you be so wrong? Was
- 1:39Speaker 2: how I responded to that, Because it's just like, I
- 1:42Speaker 2: honestly don't get how it can be so brilliant on
- 1:45Speaker 2: some things and so incredibly incredibly wrong about other things. Yeah,
- 1:51Speaker 2: which is a scary part about AI.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I guess before we get back into technology, more about birds. Hey,
- 1:56Speaker 1: Michael hit me with clip twenty five?
- 1:57Speaker 4: Would you California's famous Elitz need names. Jackie and shadows
- 2:02Speaker 4: Eglitz are growing fast. Friends of Big Bear Valley, the
- 2:04Speaker 4: group that runs those nest cams, accepting ideas on their website.
- 2:09Speaker 4: Big Bear third graders will then vote on the submissions.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Peky mcbeek face.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Clearly yeah, bege mcbeek face, and eagle mc eagle face handled.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Done, handled eagle one, eagle two. Yeah. So the reference
- 2:23Speaker 1: to creating a picture of Jack being gored by lions. Uh,
- 2:27Speaker 1: it was a reference to the website Your AI slop
- 2:31Speaker 1: Bores Me, which takes its name from a meme on
- 2:35Speaker 1: social media create used to create the never ending slop
- 2:39Speaker 1: of AI generated content. Content this is is pretty amusing.
- 2:44Speaker 1: It's only been around for a month. This website, it's
- 2:46Speaker 1: creators a seventeen year old high school recent grad in India.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It's already used to receive more than twenty five million
- 2:54Speaker 1: unique visitors and nearly two hundred and eighty million total hits.
- 2:59Speaker 1: The coat of this site, uh, your AI slop bores
- 3:03Speaker 1: meet me or a slop bores dot me is people
- 3:10Speaker 1: put queries on it as if it's an AI chatbot,
- 3:15Speaker 1: but instead of a chatbot answering, real humans answer them,
- 3:19Speaker 1: which produces things like oh and One of the rules
- 3:21Speaker 1: is uh. The site forces that human users to approximate
- 3:25Speaker 1: the speed at which a machine would return a response.
- 3:27Speaker 1: So there's a seventy five second time limit.
- 3:29Speaker 2: See, so you get a question and it's just a
- 3:31Speaker 2: regular person. You gotta answer immediately. That's funny.
- 3:34Speaker 1: You get seventy five seconds to throw together your answer.
- 3:36Speaker 1: For instance, this one said, uh, hey, uh create, where's
- 3:42Speaker 1: the actual instruction? Create a drawing of a bat eating
- 3:46Speaker 1: a strawberry, And so this woman who happens to be
- 3:49Speaker 1: a graphic artist had to quick on her on her
- 3:52Speaker 1: track pad with one finger sketch out a bat with
- 3:56Speaker 1: big teeth, a really crappy looking strawberry that's not nearly
- 4:01Speaker 1: round enough, with the moon in the background because BET's
- 4:04Speaker 1: usually come out at night, and the bat is saying, yum,
- 4:08Speaker 1: it's just terrible. I wish you could see the picture,
- 4:13Speaker 1: but it is so funny.
- 4:15Speaker 2: I like the idea of shooting off random answers really
- 4:17Speaker 2: quick when people ask quite.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I can do that all day long. Oh yeah. Like,
- 4:21Speaker 1: here's here's one I really liked. Uh where can I
- 4:24Speaker 1: buy a pink pom pom? And the answer is you shouldn't.
- 4:29Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'll get myself together. You shouldn't make it yourself.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Buy your roll by buy a roll of pink string,
- 4:39Speaker 1: roll them up in a certain way, tie them, cut
- 4:42Speaker 1: da da, And of course the answers this is brilliant
- 4:49Speaker 1: advice that I will certainly follow.
- 4:52Speaker 2: That's funny, tie them up in a certain way.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Oh my god. And then they go into a couple
- 5:03Speaker 1: of comedians and other wags who have set up like
- 5:08Speaker 1: websites that are almost the same as the website for
- 5:11Speaker 1: like chat GPT or whatever. And when people stumble on
- 5:14Speaker 1: the website and make an inciry, they give him crappy answers,
- 5:18Speaker 1: like they asked me to write an article on global
- 5:21Speaker 1: climate change. I tried to tell them because this was
- 5:23Speaker 1: too much, this isn't the real chat GPT, it's a joke.
- 5:25Speaker 1: They wrote back and said, no, this is no joke.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I really need an article. So this guy said, look,
- 5:31Speaker 1: I'm too lazy to write an article. They said I
- 5:35Speaker 1: need your help please, and just went back and forth.
- 5:39Speaker 1: People refuse to believe it when he tells them, But
- 5:41Speaker 1: if it's shorter answers, he just cranks out some crap,
- 5:45Speaker 1: some funny crap, and some people pick up on it
- 5:48Speaker 1: and some don't. God, that would be funny to do
- 5:50Speaker 1: if I had Are you looking at it? Yeah?
- 5:54Speaker 3: I am right now. This is Oh it's got music
- 5:57Speaker 3: to it. Okay.
- 5:58Speaker 2: I love the idea of this.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yes, I'm over thirteen agreed to the
- 6:03Speaker 1: code of contact.
- 6:06Speaker 2: There is some concern in the real AI world of
- 6:11Speaker 2: this really distorting AI over time to the point that
- 6:14Speaker 2: it's practically useless. Useless speaking of Beaky mcbeek face, so
- 6:20Speaker 2: many people jerking other people around on sites like this.
- 6:25Speaker 2: AI doesn't get you know, irony or jerking people around,
- 6:31Speaker 2: and you know, takes information from all kinds of sources.
- 6:35Speaker 2: That's what an LLM is, and that's why a lot
- 6:37Speaker 2: of the stuff you get out of AI is wrong,
- 6:41Speaker 2: and that could get worse over time as there are
- 6:43Speaker 2: more trolls out there.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Have you tried it, Katie, I'm doing it right now. Yeah,
- 6:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it and see if it works. I
- 6:55Speaker 1: just asked it. Why is so much talk radio boring? Well,
- 6:59Speaker 1: now it's got a ironically verify that I am a human. Yes,
- 7:02Speaker 1: that's the whole pretense of the site.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes you through a whole thing. Yeah, I'm
- 7:09Speaker 3: not sure I understand this completely, but I will be
- 7:11Speaker 3: playing with it because I like the troll aspect as
- 7:15Speaker 3: well well.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Right, and people I guess are spending hours and hours
- 7:19Speaker 1: messing around this with this and uh and observing what
- 7:25Speaker 1: other people are doing. I also appreciate it with the
- 7:27Speaker 1: sense of humor.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Yeah, I also appreciate the fact that it looks like
- 7:30Speaker 3: a website from like two thousand and two.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Yeah, intentionally, Yeah, with the typeface of the early two thousands, which,
- 7:38Speaker 1: according to the journalist too takes everything way too serious seriously.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Is a reminder of the days when the Internet was
- 7:45Speaker 1: much more footloose and innocent and mively and friendly.
- 7:49Speaker 2: When's probably when was the Internet innocent? I'd like to
- 7:54Speaker 2: I don't remember that period, must have about a long time ago.
- 7:58Speaker 1: It wasn't nearly as evil. I mean, come on, pre
- 8:04Speaker 1: four chan and.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Right, there's always been some pretty awful things on.
- 8:09Speaker 1: The influent and all.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Yeah, true, ye, people putting snuff films on the Internet
- 8:15Speaker 2: from like the beginning.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Gosh.
- 8:17Speaker 3: I I remember getting into a huge argument with one
- 8:20Speaker 3: of my friends back when AOL instant messenger was around,
- 8:25Speaker 3: and because she would go on there and you could
- 8:28Speaker 3: have chat rooms, and you would go into the chat
- 8:31Speaker 3: rooms and then you talk to people, and then you
- 8:32Speaker 3: could pick people and talk to them just separately, and
- 8:36Speaker 3: she would have full blown conversations with just these randoms
- 8:39Speaker 3: and we're like I don't know eleven. Yeah, and you know,
- 8:45Speaker 3: and coming from my background. Yeah, and with my background,
- 8:49Speaker 3: with my dad being a judge and bad guys everywhere
- 8:52Speaker 3: and all that. I kept telling her, like, I'm not
- 8:54Speaker 3: gonna be here while you're doing this and giving out
- 8:56Speaker 3: your phone number and stuff to the house.
- 8:58Speaker 2: That that is an interesting thing. I was thinking about
- 9:01Speaker 2: this the other day. A lot of the innocent of
- 9:04Speaker 2: innocence of youth, or the innocence of the early days
- 9:07Speaker 2: of anything is only because you were dumb. It wasn't
- 9:11Speaker 2: anymore innocent.
- 9:12Speaker 1: You were just unaware so hadt caught onto the evil
- 9:15Speaker 1: doers that were lurking about.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Yeah, so some of the innocence of youth and walking
- 9:19Speaker 2: around your neighborhood is because you were young and didn't
- 9:22Speaker 2: know that there were bad people around or anything like that.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Yeah, innocence is a synonym for naivete sure yeah.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Sure and h and so that's that'd be part of
- 9:34Speaker 2: the looking back on the internet back in the day
- 9:36Speaker 2: when everybody was nice, Yeah, they were still people trying
- 9:39Speaker 2: to figure out, you know, where that little kid lives
- 9:41Speaker 2: so they could go abduct them. You just nobody ever
- 9:43Speaker 2: thought considered that at the time.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Everybody was nice. Yeah, everybody was nice. Sure, and then
- 9:48Speaker 3: MySpace rolled out the top eight and made you pick
- 9:51Speaker 3: your first eight favorite people, and then all hell started.
- 9:53Speaker 1: To break the beginning of the end, right, Yeah, you
- 9:56Speaker 1: remember chat roulette?
- 9:58Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we worked with a guy.
- 10:02Speaker 2: He and his now wife met on chat roulette. No way. Yeah,
- 10:07Speaker 2: their story about that is something.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Wow.
- 10:10Speaker 2: They pleasured themselves or both of them were just flipping
- 10:18Speaker 2: through channels, which is what a lot of chat Roulette was, and.
- 10:21Speaker 1: They came across each other and their junk.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Yeah, and they came across each other and apparently got
- 10:27Speaker 2: into enough of a conversation in the midst of pleasuring themselves. Well,
- 10:32Speaker 2: you always want to go to Europe. I've always wanted
- 10:34Speaker 2: to go to Europe, you know. Whatever the conversation ended
- 10:36Speaker 2: up being, and they fell in love and figured out
- 10:39Speaker 2: a way to talk to each other, and they've been
- 10:40Speaker 2: married for quite some time and seemed very happy.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Love blooms and some interesting places. Jack, doesn't it I'm
- 10:46Speaker 1: Joe getting time.
- 10:48Speaker 2: That's enough of that. Well, I guess that's it.
