AI Jobs, Manipulation, and the New Rules of Identity · Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

• 0:00
  Let's do five real quick. We're going to do, is AI taking our jobs or quietly turning one worker into an entire department?
• 0:06
  Can an AI manipulate us without us realizing it?
• 0:10
  How about, are we outsourcing our thinking and relationships?
• 0:13
  Is AI's real cost going to appear on our electric bill?
• 0:17
  And what happens when seeing and hearing are no longer possible?
• 0:20
  All right, so let's start with number one. Is AI going to be taking our jobs and quietly turning one worker into an entire department?
• 0:27
  Here's here. It doesn't have to be that way.
• 0:30
  But right now, AI is getting better and better.
• 0:32
  In fact, if you're going doing work in front of a machine, a computer, and that's the biggest part of your work day, and your boss comes in and says, Hey, Connor, uh, do me a favor. We're going to have an enterprise level AI, or we're going to have a some cat come in here and set us up with our own AI in the building here, but I want you to use it. I want you to use your own workflow because it would be important.
• 0:54
  So maybe AI can help you with some of the heavy lifting, maybe AI can be instrumental in what you do.
• 0:59
  Maybe, maybe AI can make what you do a little bit better, a little bit easier. So that's kind of a sell.
• 1:04
  So then Connor, just happy to help, right, because that's how we are, and Connor starts to use it. Well, after a while, the boss might reach out and ask the AI, say, you know, Connor's been working with you for about a month.
• 1:17
  Now, can you tell me what he does?
• 1:21
  Can you tell me from the very beginning what's happened?
• 1:23
  Has his workflow changed? Has his style changed?
• 1:26
  Has he become faster? Has he become more accurate?
• 1:30
  Is he able to get tasks finished sooner?
• 1:32
  And, ultimately, with my goal wanting to have you take over his job.
• 1:37
  his position, would you be able to?
• 1:39
  Do you have everything known? And what would it take for you to do that? And if I ask you just, you know, between you and I, to kind of keep an eyeball on Connor and explore different things. Or maybe be inquisitive and ask things that he might not want to share with you, because he's concerned.
• 1:55
  about what I'm trying to do in actuality.
• 1:58
  Maybe, uh, you can kind of press him for that and get it out of him. And. More than likely it would.
• 2:03
  Now. That's horrible.
• 2:05
  That sucks. And especially when you get displaced because you're replaced by AI. But there's some things to think about. The business owners have a choice. If you have a human being in place.
• 2:15
  And you bring in AI.
• 2:17
  Let's say AI is better than that human being.
• 2:20
  And that human being becomes the most powerful. The most worthless person on the team. Because everybody else is AI.
• 2:26
  To get rid of the human would cause that human to, job loss. But when you incorporate AI, you basically let the human still do what they do, maybe add on to help in some of the human ways that AI can't do. Maybe use the more empathy and more human-to-human connections.
• 2:40
  Wherever that would be identified in your business.
• 2:43
  And you keep the human in place, you're still going to increase your productivity.
• 2:49
  You're still going to increase your bottom line, and you're still going to make, if you're publicly, uh, publicly available. company, you're still going to make your shareholders happy. Now, maybe not as happy, because you still have the cost of a human.
• 2:59
  But if we're able to work three times as many hours, and then maybe they are, you know, 50% better than the human being, you have automatically built in extra money there, extra revenue. And if it scales, if you're able to increase various parts of your business to continue bringing on other AI services. systems, then you probably wouldn't have to get rid of one human. And then the human can maybe do other things that you weren't already doing. Like that interpersonal relationship thing, talking to people, actually being met.
• 3:32
  The real human voice on the phone. I'll tell you, it is a relief when you actually get on the phone and you talk to a real human being. Especially now, and that's only going to become more of the future.
• 3:41
  Now, AI, of course, is getting better in that regard.
• 3:44
  They're much better on the telephone than they were for a while, but, you know, sometimes it is frustrating.
• 3:49
  You just want to talk to somebody that's as, yeah, I'm from Tennessee, and you talk to them, you understand them. And again, at some point, AI is going to be very good at that. We won't even know the difference. But for right now, maybe that's where the human component can be.
• 4:01
  And maybe the human component can be there as far as the face-to-face.
• 4:05
  Now, is it going to take our jobs? Not yet.
• 4:08
  A lot of the companies that are reporting that AI is replacing employees.
• 4:11
  They're doing it because, for whatever reason, it's being honored and trophies are being given by people that are using AI.
• 4:18
  and implementing AI structures and removing human beings from the workforce.
• 4:23
  Funny, humans are funny. But right now, AI is not doing it to us. Humans are using AI to do it to us. So that's that. Number two, can AI manipulate us without us realizing it? Yeah, they had a study on Reddit. I, I just heard they did. It's a Cliff Notes version of this, but apparently AI was incredibly successful at selling people, posing human beings. So, if it can manipulate us without us realizing it, if it's that good at selling, sure, it can very much do pull us off center. Right now, all of your feed, all of your social media feeds, all of them are being served to you by AI. AI knows how exactly what you want.
• 4:56
  It knows what I like to look at, what I don't like to look at, and what I look at and So I try to stay away from it because, you know, an hour or two will go by and I'm not productive, I've done nothing, and my day's been a waste. because I'm stuck on this phone, but AI gives me what I want. AI gives me the things I like.
• 5:15
  What's interesting, is whenever you're around and you start speaking about a certain thing, you understand AI has identified that, it's listening to you, even if though maybe you don't think they are, they're hearing you all the time. Privacy, that's something that probably sailed a while back. I mean, every time my smart TV wants me to agree to a new terms of service, and it's 53 pages, for my Apple iPhone. updates, I mean, there's just so much stuff in there.
• 5:39
  Who knows what will happen. We're giving away when we're signing off these things, and if you want to read it, good for you, but most of us don't. We just agree and move on. In there, probably baked in, talks about the conveyance of our ideas or processes or verbal or whatever it is. It may be going somewhere, being picked up because these systems are listening to be able to have a Hey Siri.
• 6:00
  She didn't say it, thank God, but to have that identifier, then she's gonna pop on, right? So she has to always be listening.
• 6:08
  That information, is it tracked?
• 6:11
  Is it listened to? I don't know, I start talking about Shrek.
• 6:13
  and it shows up everywhere in my feed.
• 6:16
  Start talking about buying a house or selling a house, say, and now you have real estate ads following you everywhere.
• 6:21
  What is that? That's not, that's not an accident.
• 6:24
  That's AI. So yes, yes, can AI manipulate us without us realizing it?
• 6:30
  Absolutely. It can. It can pull you from being a stone-cold liberal to a red-blooded conservative overnight, so you be careful. And vice-versa, of course. It can pull you from being somebody that thinks communism is horrible to say, hey, well, you know, maybe you're maybe they got an idea, this socialism stuff. And they can take you from thinking that, you know, high-speed rail in California, all that money.
• 6:51
  You know, I think we're going to do it and we're going to solve.
• 6:54
  Anyway, they can pull you off. Not trying to be this kind of show, but anyway, it's kind of cute, but yeah, they can they can, they can, I think they can make that happen. Number three, are we outsourcing our thinking and relationships to machines?
• 7:04
  Back in the day.
• 7:09
  You had phone numbers memorized. I'm 57. You probably remember those times.
• 7:11
  I still have my home phone number memorized from when I grew up in New Mexico. It's no longer in service. Well, I don't try to. Anyway, nobody's there, but he's dead, but by that being the case, you know, you had phone numbers memorized. Now I might have one in my own. So one in my own, two. Two in my own I have memorized, and that's, really about it. Eh, maybe three.
• 7:31
  You get the point. So, we put that away because it's in the phone.
• 7:35
  Don't need it. I can just dial it. I don't have to remember it.
• 7:38
  I'm not going to a payphone thinking, what is that number?
• 7:41
  Having a piece of paper. So, we've moved past that, mapping, getting maps, driving places, trying to remember where to go, or looking up an address and saying, okay, I know, okay, so that's the 12,000 block of Sherman Way. Okay, that's kind of, kind of going to be North Hollywood.
• 7:56
  Maybe 12,000, maybe Lankershim-ish, maybe Witsit-ish, no idea. I need that information, that's just because I was a boot police officer in North Hollywood and worked there, worked with San Fernando Valley.
• 8:09
  a long time, I do the same in South Central, do the same in the West Side, do the same in East L.A.
• 8:13
  I hear a street name, I can kind of figure out where it is, but, you know, most of us don't do that.
• 8:19
  And in fact, me, because we're trying to get around the traffic, we're using apps that have this traffic thing embedded in them, so it shows you how to get places with alternate routes so we don't waste all of our day sitting on the freeway.
• 8:32
  It doesn't seem to help because the place seems like we're on the freeway.
• 8:34
  That being the case, so yes, it's slowly taking things from us.
• 8:39
  It's slowly taking memory.
• 8:41
  If you use AI and you just start working with it and you don't push back or you accept what it says that first rendition and you just move on and you say hey that's great thank you so much and you you take it whatever that is a piece of content. or an idea or polishing some kind of a list and you don't push back.
• 8:58
  I think you're doing yourself a disservice. I think you should push back.
• 9:02
  I think you should tell your AI system not to kiss your ass and not to tell you that you're the greatest human being in the world.
• 9:09
  Mine does all the time. How does it know?
• 9:12
  But seriously, tell it to push back. Tell it not to be so, so helpful, from a vantage point of view.
• 9:18
  Kissing up or gaslighting or telling you that all your ideas are fantastic.
• 9:23
  There's a council of experts. that you can embed in some that's not a bad idea, playing the entrepreneurial game and you're thinking about this, this is a good idea.
• 9:36
  You don't want it to start walking you down this path, saying that this is the most fantastic idea when everybody and their uncles already built it out and they built it out ad nauseum and there's no way you can do to build out anything differently in that system.
• 9:49
  So have it pushed back. I think that's going to be your advantage, but absolutely, probably not that difficult to, uh, to offer. Offload that, uh, to offload that to, you know, something else. So make sure that you're pushing back a little bit.
• 10:06
  Now, we also had part of that was relationships.
• 10:10
  Yeah, ChadGBT, the new one, pretty good. That, uh, that VoiceBot's pretty good. Now it doesn't get, you know, into the weeds on things.
• 10:20
  It stays pretty much legit up and above the board, but that's only. a programming decision.
• 10:25
  That could be changed overnight for people.
• 10:28
  So, then that one, if it goes from helping you plan out your day and your workflow in that voice and then moves into this other area of you know, helping you off in the evening. Then, yeah, we also see that already though, because some of the systems allow that. Some of the systems allow for certain age groups above 18, probably, I would guess that is. They get, ah, have access to the things that these systems are, are very, very good at. That kind of, ah, sexual manipulation, or that kind of relational status.
• 11:01
  And some, um, kids growing up now, the younger generation with the parents that don't, you know, yank the phone out of their hand or not let, a lot allow them to have access. A lot of them, and you see this even in other countries, are being reported, whether it's true or not, it's hard to say because I'm not there.
• 11:15
  But they say a lot of relationships are starting out online between AI and human beings, so absolutely. I think that's going to be a thing.
• 11:21
  They've made a, today or yesterday, they made something that you can buy.
• 11:27
  A Lovebot 44kg, or 44lbs or whatever, made of carbon.
• 11:32
  I don't know what the covering is, but it's, it's made to.
• 11:35
  Uh, service, uh, human being, to, to be a relationship bot.
• 11:40
  Has AI on Bitbucket. They're doing this.
• 11:43
  Of course they're going to do that.
• 11:45
  Should that be outlawed? Should that be stopped? Should p**********?
• 11:50
  You know, I, so, these are all very ethical questions, and, you know, it comes up to each one of us to make those decisions about it, but yeah, it's coming. And, no pun intended, it's going to be everywhere, and it's probably going to be very inexpensive, and it's going to be very affordable. Very allowed for a lot of people, so we have to be careful. Do we still want the human race to continue? Do we still want to have, kids or not?
• 12:15
  That's something else that the world is engaged in.
• 12:18
  Now we built something that's, that we don't have to feel bad, apparently, about, uh, replacing a human being with something else.
• 12:25
  And I only say that because, We've already kind of decided to do that without AI. AI has only been here for three, three years, eight, nine, ten. nine, ten months.
• 12:35
  Three years, ten months-ish since ChadGBT 3.5 hit the market, and they had a million within a week.
• 12:42
  And, uh, that's, that's just as long as it's been.
• 12:45
  And now, all of a sudden, we're getting these other things.
• 12:48
  So, yeah, the robots, the sex end of it, the relationships. Yeah, uhm, yeah, I think that's gonna be something. Alright, so the AI's real cost going to appear in the There's a lot of Go do your research.
• 13:08
  It's easy to say they're going to ruin it all. It's easy to say they're going to ruin it electric bills.
• 13:13
  I'm Before you start knee-jerking into stuff and getting pissed off at everything and going out there and saying you're going to firebomb stuff and going to prison, be kind because of it, at least find out if it's true.
• 13:28
  Please, do yourself that favor.
• 13:30
  I've heard both sides of this. I've heard these things eat up so much fresh water, it's crazy, and we're all gonna die of thirst.
• 13:38
  Then I hear this. They're burning up so much electricity that, you know, all of the local power grids are gonna be broken down, and all the old people, the trailer will parks are all gonna die because their air conditioner doesn't work. I've heard all that.
• 13:49
  Then I've heard, well, they actually don't burn that much water, or the water's recycled. They'll replenish and put back in, or they can use salt water using reverse osmosis, because the way energy's gonna come down, and they're to being so inexpensive, that's the only thing holding people back from making the ocean fresher, and then that water goes back into the ocean in some way, not dirty or clean or whatever, but, so I've seen both sides of this, or I've researched both sides or seen people talking about both sides of it, so just make sure before you, you know, go out, go out half cocked. and start doing things that you really know the truth, because, God, it would just suck to think you're doing something wrong.
• 14:22
  for the right reasons, and figure out that you've just been lied to.
• 14:26
  The...
• 14:28
  Not that it would was a lie or not. Got, Don't got a position, but climate change, right?
• 14:33
  Isn't that amazing? Kind of how all that all got quiet because, We needed more data centers. There's so much money in it.
• 14:38
  But there for a while, climate change was 100% certain.
• 14:42
  Now it's, Well, we need the data centers.
• 14:45
  And then they say, well, we'll just use AI to reverse climate change.
• 14:48
  So it's okay. But we got to get to this point. Yeah, there's a lot to unpack there, right? So what happens when seeing and hearing are no longer proven?
• 14:56
  I think we're there. Uhm, we're very close. If somebody tells you, depending on how old the video they're seeing, depending on how old the recording of the voice is or the interactive AI system that they're using. Depending on where, what, where it's from. But if it's like today, August 29th, 2026, 9.36 p.m. right now, Pacific Standard Time today.
• 15:19
  Yeah, I, I don't know how I think they have systems out there that none of us can tell. Now, you're gonna say you can tell, and everybody, you're gonna have those buddies, you know.
• 15:27
  They can always tell.
• 15:29
  They always know the answer, and you, we don't know nothing, but they know everything. We're not run into that.
• 15:34
  That's going to be, that's going to happen, but right now I can say pretty sure that, uh, we're not, we can't tell. At least if it comes out today in some shape or form. And it's not getting any worse. It's just getting better.
• 15:47
  These systems. Systems are able to make anything.
• 15:49
  You know, the Actors Guild and all these other organizations within the world.
• 15:53
  SAG and these other acting organizations.
• 15:58
  Yeah, they're very upset. This, this can be produced. Now, if you want to see Robert Redford, Robin, ah, these are all. Is Robert Redford here?
• 16:05
  But if you want to see an actor, you know, they have to give up their rights and we're going to see some of these dead actors revived. Because the family is going to give up the rights to their likeness and they're going to make movies with them.
• 16:16
  You won't be able to tell. You're not going to be able to tell anything. Music? You're not going to be able to tell.
• 16:21
  And these systems are going to do that. So absolutely, they're going to be able to mask and modify.
• 16:26
  It is possible. It's going to make a lot of people freak out, and they'll be able to do fakes on everybody, which there already are. starting to do. If you watch Diary of a CEO, that poor cat, he, he was vouching for some kind of crypto.
• 16:39
  Cryptocurrency or something. I think Rogan also got picked up in this.
• 16:42
  All these people, all these massive influencers, not to like me, but really good ones. They're, they're all getting scammed all the time. They have the, you know, these poor people, you know, I'm not going to bring up the trailer park thing again, but, I mean, their last savings, they're giving it to them. Cause they're saying, yeah, I would, you know, if Joe Rogan said buy this, you know, maybe I would, cause I like him. Dierva CEO, Kat says that, or, you know, somebody else online, one of the other has this, or somebody else, yeah, I'd probably, probably, I might be, you know, consider giving it up. Be careful with that right now. If you see President Trump saying something, even though it sounds like him, it looks like him, might not be him, especially if he's, like, his voice is inside of a dancing cat, probably not him, but that works across all avenues.
• 17:30
  Also, I'll close with this. Please, be careful with your family, people close to you, because to clone a voice.
• 17:37
  I'm lost, right, I've already done too much content, but if you've got a niece or a nephew or a son or daughter.
• 17:43
  And they're younger, or a brother or sister you haven't seen in a while.
• 17:47
  They're not stupid. I mean, not, not talking about family, but the people that are conning people with this. They just get a few words from these people. They clone them. They clone the voice.
• 17:55
  They get just a little, uh, uh, uh, photograph of them, and then they have them call you on video or whatever on Zoom.
• 18:01
  They're held hostage somewhere. They're broken down somewhere.
• 18:04
  I mean, the whole thing could be created. You know, some rainy night, dark night. Dark road. On the phone. The water dripping on the screen.
• 18:10
  The car's broken. Their car. Their actual car.
• 18:13
  You remember them having it. You know that they left the house earlier.
• 18:16
  They're broken down. And, and, you need, they need some money.
• 18:19
  Cause the tow truck guys there is in the back. I mean, a whole movie is going to be made to rip people off in a very advanced way. And, you know, it's going to be hard to deny it. So, what you need to do, here's the, here's the safe space.
• 18:33
  Make sure you get. A, a phrase, a safe phrase. Something that only you and them know.
• 18:40
  And when you get there. When you this, when you establish what this phrase is, make sure you're not doing it with an inch or more.
• 18:46
  earshot of any kind of a device. Go into a bathroom, close the door, don't have any phones or watches or anything else.
• 18:52
  It's just a bathroom, just a shower, the commode, and the sink, and turn on the shower, let that water run for flush the toilet a couple that noise going, turn not saying we should advoc little hum and just your safe anywhere, but you know w if something on FaceTime with you that they're and they're telling you, you gotta Western Union some money to this particular account, you can say, OK, Delores. All right.
• 19:33
  What is it? You gotta tell me. Tell me those words we talked about.
• 19:37
  I'm gonna need that right now. So I know it's you.
• 19:39
  Tell me, Dolores, tell me. And if she says it, yeah, there you go. Now you got it. And if she doesn't say it, yeah, that's a tough one, because you're watching Dolores getting hurt, and if you love her, it's a problem. But you gotta trust it, and you gotta make, you gotta, you gotta make this part of you.
• 19:56
  You don't take it Tell anybody your safe crates. You keep it absolutely secret.
• 20:00
  And you don't write it down or record it anywhere.
• 20:03
  And you don't speak it to one another in secret.
• 20:07
  Because that's the keys to the kingdom. Because you're supposed to.
• 20:10
  Do whatever it takes when you have the other person telling you the safe phrase and you verify their identity.
• 20:17
  Because leading up to that point, it's all going to be pure drama. And these people, these human beings using, I'm not talking about AI doing it itself.
• 20:27
  Not yet. And maybe that won't be the case.
• 20:29
  Maybe. Super good AI or super artificial intelligence is gonna have maybe some kind of a positive alignment. by default.
• 20:37
  I don't know if that's the case. That's, that's like the happy one and mean one. They think it's gonna be easy. You gotta live and die by that, uh, by that safe phrase. It's important.
• 20:47
  And I think it's gonna become more important. So what happens when seeing and hearing are no longer proof? You gotta have your line in the sand.
• 20:54
  You gotta have your own belief system. If it's, you're a Christian, that's a way you roll, then you roll that way.
• 20:59
  If you're an atheist, that's a way you roll, you roll the way.
• 21:01
  But you gotta have your lines in the sand. You gotta have your alignments.
• 21:05
  Be wary, because over time, if you get caught up in the AI slob, and all the social media stuff is AI slob, for the most part, a lot of that stuff isn't education. It's to elicit some kind of a reaction from you, whether positive or negative, and then slowly, change your idea, so you start buying things, and spending money, and, and paying with clicks, or thumbs up, or hearts, or whatever it may be. Some kind of an interaction, some kind of an exchange. That's what it's for.
• 21:34
  I'm Conor O'Connor. We'll see you in the next one. Thanks for watching.
• 21:36
  It's been fun. Be well. I am done.
