AI Steals Voices and Flips Burgers: The Future is Here! | EP15
SMASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON, YOU TECH ENTHUSIASTS! This week, @OpenAI is shaking things up with GPT-4o (as in "oh boy") — is it really all that, or are we just getting faster and cheaper chatbots? Meanwhile, @Google drops Gemini and VEO, but are their canned demos really as impressive as they seem? And why did they have a guy running around yelling "Google"? We dive into the controversy of AI stealing voices to narrate audiobooks — are professional voice actors being left in the dust? Plus, meet Cali Express and Kernel, the burger joints and Chipotle spin-off aiming for fully automated service. Spoiler alert: they're not quite there yet. In a surprising twist, Morton’s boss, Bob Limerick, calls in with some strong opinions on our "questionable discussions" — is Bob secretly a fan? And how's Morton handling all this? And, of course, we'll discuss AI in security with ZeroEyes, the system that spots guns in schools. But is it really AI, or is there a human in the loop? Just another average week here at They Might Be Self-Aware! Stay tuned, and don't forget to engage with us. Your future might depend on it! For more info, visit our website at https://www.tmbsa.tech/
