• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I found a concerning list here concerning what's concerning
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: about you'll see, okay, concerning?

  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, what what?
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: What's what's the list called?
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: It's the most and least AI proof jobs.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I'm concerned. Oh no, I'm very sorry. It's radio from
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: hell with another list because people love a good list.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Ninety six.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: How likely is it that a bot will soon replace
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: you at work? Well, it depends on what you're doing
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: for a living. Microsoft has put out a list of
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: the most recent searches for which jobs are the least
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: and most vulnerable being replaced by artificial intelligence.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I will start with least vulnerable.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I can't I can't imagine where we.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: Fall in this least vulnerable.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: So this is to tell your kids to go into
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: these jobs because AI won't replace something.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it's radio is least vulnerable.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Number ten logging equipment operators going.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: To say, I was going to say ditch digging, but.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Harry, wait, it's okay. Number nine motor boat operators. You
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: could teach a robot if they can drive motor.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: A motor boat operator. Rider is there is there a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: big call for somebody? Hey, I need motor motor somebody.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: To operate this motor boat not around here.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Number eight orderlies. Again, a roller could do that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Order an order. It takes you.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I'm here to take you down to CT for your scan.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's an orderly Oh okay, push your yeah, c an
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a I bought.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Can can't push the gury and all of that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Floor sanders, yeah, floor sanders yeah. Pile driver operators, yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: rail track laying in maintenance.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: You gotta go out and lay lay some rail.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Water treatment plant system operators. I see.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I think they could maybe robot all of this. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: number one dredge operators.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Which that's that's stitch.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's ditch digging on a huge scale. The world
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: needs ditch diggers too.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So here are the most vulnerable.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, so these are most likely to be replaced by
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: are all ten of them?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Radio hold on interpreters and translators, which makes sense.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I've got I've got a translator on my phone.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Historians. That should frighten you.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: That should frighten you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: What because a I will just grab stuff that's already
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: out there, and well.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I guess com pilot yeah, and and compile and keep
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: track of what's happening and catalog.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: But it's but it's programmed by a person who can
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: decide what is history exactly.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Retail sales because because people don't shop.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: In person anymore, you don't want writers and authors.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: That's bad, yes, and I don't.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I don't like that, and I can I can understand
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that that might happen, but I don't think that's.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I need real people writing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Things and they and real people will continue to write things.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Uh, customer service representatives, that's already there. You can never
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: get if you can get a live person on the phone.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Well, and it's the chat, the chat, you know, the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: minute you got anything, the chat bought pops up and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: says how can I help you? And I was so,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I was naive and I very at first. When I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: first started doing that, I thought I'm talking to a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: real person, and I realized, no, I'm.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Not computer programmers.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Remember when we were telling our kids, you got to
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: go into computers because now they just programmed.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I always told my kid that kids they had to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: go into plastics.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Telephone operators do we even have those?
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Do they exist? Ticket agents?
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You just that's disturbing because I need a person and uh,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the last one on the list broadcast.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Announcers and radio DJs most vulnerable to AI, which I
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: would say, we are in the same boat as writers
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: and authors. This should be considered a creative job that
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: AI can't do, because those are supposedly the AI proof
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: things is creative job.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We need to have some sort of test. Put me
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: up against a robot. Let's see what the people really like.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: There was a radio station who had a mid day
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: person that was AI, female voice.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: They didn't tell anybody that she was AI, and they.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Were selling her as though she was a real person,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: and they got sued.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Did people like her?
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: No?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You know, we already have a lot people live on
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the radio who could be replaced by AI, and and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it would be.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: A better show. Yeah that' that's true.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of live people on the radio
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: right now and on TV that if they were replaced
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: by AI, it would be.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: A better program.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: But I still would say that it can't replace a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: really good program.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I don't think AI creativity mix. AI can compile things
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: that already exist, and.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It can sound it can sound good or logical or whatever.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: No, we had a consultant who, when AI was first
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: coming out, thought it would be fun if we did
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: a bit where we programmed it with our voices to
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: say things.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And Carrie was like, no, no, no, no, no.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: No no, not going to do that, not going to do that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: It could happen without our So remember when the Screen
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Actors Guild sued. Yeah, when they were having their contract
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: the last strike, one of their biggest quibbles, there was
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: a I I want control of.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: My face and my voice exactly. You can't use me
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: in something without my consent or.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's kind of a murky area though,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: because I know that over the years, radio management would
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: argue we own we own.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: You, We own your voice.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Whatever you have put in while you work for us,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we own it, so we own your voice.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: They would say that they would probably lose.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Well, what you know, I think what they what they
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: could maybe win is we own your voice as long
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: as we're not using it to do new things when
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you're not here. We still own the old stuff that
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you did, but we don't own you can't create, can't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we can't create new stuff with your voice.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Well, I just remember that conversation with that with that consultant.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: He said, it would be funny if you did that
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: because it would be Gina's voice replying to a question
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: that Bill had that she would never answer, but the
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: AI voice would answer right. And I said, no, I'm
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: not because once you do that, the AI company owns
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: your voice. They own what you give them. It's the
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: same with you know, Facebook and all of these they
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: own what you give them. And he said, well, somebody
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: could do that without your knowledge, and I said, yes,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: but I could sue them.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But the real problem there is if you programmed it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to Gina's voice to answer a question that I posed
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to it, the question would always ultimately be way better
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: than the real Gena's question, you know what, would So
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we don't want to take that chance that every time
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I interact with the AI Gena it's more pleasurable and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: more entertaining.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: You're so handsome, Bill already, I kind of like that. Yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I agree with everything you say.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: For six month, an Australian radio station aired a daily
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: show hosted by a young sounding woman named thigh thy Thy, cheerful,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: confident and always on beat until listeners started to ask
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: who is she. Sydney based station CADA, owned by the
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Australian Radio Network, ran work days with Thy. Every weekday
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Thy introducing tracks, hosting music commentary for four hours a day.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: The station promoted her as a fresh voice curating the
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: latest hits, never mentioned that she was a machine. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: hate this, and listeners grew suspicious. Thig had no last name,
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: no biography, no social presence. The station didn't let its
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: audience know that she wasn't.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Real until.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: People started asking questions, I want real.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So now, was it on ethical? I would say it
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: was probably unethical. It was unethical for the radio station
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to do that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: But I want all of the talking over each other
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: and stuttering and mispronouncing things and getting I.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Don't have any idea what you're talking about, and.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Getting getting things wrong and then correcting them yourself, and then.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Taking you mean you mean insight sources.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't mention any names.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. Lord of the Rings was a book. No,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it wasn't quite that bad. Well it was that bad actually.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah. She was an AI generated voice clone from
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: a from an actual ARN employee, created in collaboration with
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: eleven Labs. No mic, no studio, just code and vibes.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: By the way, when we're not here anymore, that's what
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: it I'll just warn you now, they're not going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: hire real people to come do what we're doing.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be I'm serious.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: No, it's true.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Probably not, it'll just be. Or maybe they'll be one
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: real person.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: It just records a bunch of stuff.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a station in Townstry that fired their entire
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: air staff.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And all they have is just I.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: That's just an iPod running now, essentially just music with liners, right, yep,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: that's all it is. The entire air staff was fired.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: So I hate I hate this. Yeah, and not just
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: for me like that, it's my job. I I like
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: listening to real people talking about real things on the radio.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I don't this makes me nervous.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I what you know, it's you like listening to real
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: people talk about real things on the radio. But if
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it's not good, if they're not doing a good job
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: at it, then why not put on.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I would rather have bad real people than AI Bill.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I would rather have that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I suppose I would.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Too, But but I but I understand the there are
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: things on the radio right now that are real people
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that you could replace with AI, and the AI would
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: be more listenable.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I think that's dangerous and wrong.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I don't like it. I don't like it.
