A Brief History of Podcasts Talking About A.I.

Overview:

Rob and Britta listen back to four years of podcast stories about artificial intelligence, from The Daily's first demo of ChatGPT through Bing falling in love with Kevin Roose, an untamed poetry model, A.I. psychosis, and two Claudes who can't stop talking to each other. Along the way we trace how the stories we tell about A.I. keep changing and what those stories tell us about who we imagine A.I. to be.
