Episode Details

First, skip the first 85 seconds or so. I can't edit and the intro, which was wonderfully hysterical, didn't record at all. Oh, the irony. It was supposed to be the ChatGPT production of "if Eminem rapped about cats". Check it out on YouTube. It's worth 2 minutes. My guest is Dan Steele, one of the forerunners of ChatGPT. He wrote a book entitled "The Book on ChatGPT". Well, he didn't exactly write it. ChatGPT did. He takes us through his history which parallels ChatGPT, the uses of this extraordinary technology, and we discuss many issues. From what it can do now to what it might be able to do soon. Who are the likely winners? What jobs are in jeopardy? What are the legal implications to Copyrighted work and art writ large? Is this "I, Robot", "Terminator", or "Ex Machina"? Might it be friendly Commander Data or is it H.A.L. or Ultron? Is this the ultimate tool of chaos or are their silver linings? How is Elon Musk involved?
