FOJ 37 - AI Takes Over, Best 90s Movies, & NFL Coach Rankings
Episode 37
Jeff and Jason are back for episode 37, starting with a deep dive into the world of Artificial Intelligence. Inspired by the show "Mr. Robot," Jeff talks about his weekend project of building an application using AI, leading to a broader conversation about the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. They discuss the practical and creative uses of AI, from extracting restaurant menu ingredients to generating ad campaigns and even creating music, touching on the controversy surrounding the AI band "The Velvet Sundown." The conversation explores the potential impact of AI on jobs, the economy, and the future of creativity.
The discussion then shifts to pop culture, with the guys debating the best movies of the 1990s, with classics like "Goodfellas," "The Matrix," and "Pulp Fiction" making the list. In the sports segment, they cover the AP's ranking of Andy Reid as the top NFL head coach, a uniquely "Wimbledon" moment involving a champagne cork, and the latest news from the MLB All-Star break. Jason also gives a proud recap of his 13U Jr. Stars baseball team's final tournament and their successful season.
