Episode Details

Jay Schwedelson just admitted he bullies AI—and thought it worked. Turns out, he’s not alone. A wild claim from Google's Sergey Brin got Jay spiraling: can being mean to AI actually make it perform better? New research says no... but the real reason behind better results might surprise you. Plus, Jay explains why treating AI like a doctor (yes, really) is the key to getting more value from it.
