Using A.I To Our Advantage

Skeery is using his A.I for his vacation! What are some things you use A.I for?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Just like that fat Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
You know AI, you know is a love all, serve
all and also a I don't trust it, you know,
medium or place to go for answers and all sorts
of things. AI can do anything. Yeah, The question is
if you ask it for facts, and you ask it
to be factual, you don't always know if it's factual
if you're looking for specific answers for questions, but also

(00:35):
if you need for it to write you a letter
or be your friend or tell you where to go
on vacation. It'll weigh out all the components of your
thought process. It'll say, okay, well, according to AI's knowledge,
we will tell you to do this. For instance, scary, scary,
what did you ask AI to answer for you the
other day?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well, with a week off coming up at the end
of August, I want a place to go in the
United States that is has like some good rental a
rental houses with a pool and a barbecue, with some
great nightlife as well. And being a foodie, I want
awesome restaurants. And I'm going with a couple of friends
of mine a couple of guy friends.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
So are all the factors you put in there?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I just I just opened up a conversation. I said,
all right, so me and a couple of my friends
want to go out and hang out during the last
week of August the United States. Where can we go
that has these parameters? And then it's just started spitting
out some amazing ideas that I never would have thought
of on my own. Okay, what did it tell you?
It said, Okay, what about Charleston, South Carolina. It has

(01:39):
beautiful beaches, a vibrant nightlife, and plenty of options for
renting houses with pools and barbecues. Another great option is
Santa Barbara, California, which are And then then it started
talking about going to Huntington Beach, lagoona beach, and I'm like, wow,
I never thought of like that area of California to
go to. And then it said, why don't you go
to the floor Obama Shore between you know, you know,

(02:02):
you know where Destin is And they said there's a
road called thirty A where all these houses are. And
then yeah, so it started telling me all this stuff
and places in the United States, and then I'm like wow,
and it started showing me pictures and videos and here's
here's a link to some video and pictures of what
these areas look like. And these are areas in the country.
I never would have thought of.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Those areas to.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh my god, in the o C.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And lag Beach.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Hell yeah, but I know what. I wouldn't have thought
of that, and I had him be my brain in that. Gah.
I will tell you something. Maybe we talked about this before,
but we were when we were in Bali, Alex wanted
to write a He wanted to write an opinion of
what is a review? Sorry God, I'm sorry, I'm brain dad.
He wanted to write a review about this incredible resort

(02:53):
we stayed in, and so he used Ai to write it.
He submitted it and there a I didn't accept it
because they could tell it was AI written. Does that
make sense? They wanted to not good? I know, but
we're freaking out the ais are they're battling the other Ais.
I know, I call them Ais. I don't know if

(03:13):
that's appropriate way to call it, but I thought that
was sort of odd. So he tried to reword it,
and I think it accepted it. At that point. I
think I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
So weird study were schools too, you know, because like
some kids are using AI to write their reports and
write this and do this and research that they should
be doing on their own, and it's causing some issues,
and teachers are trying to figure out, you know, how
to bust more of them. Some of them have been busted,
but sometimes I guess they get away with it.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay, let me let me put this out there for you.
In the old days, when you took math classes, you
would go to whatever, calculus or whatever, and you were
if you were taking tests, especially, you were sometimes allowed
to use a calculator, sometimes not right. And then they
started saying, okay, calculators, absolutely, it's a way of life.
Why would we not allow you to bring those in

(04:00):
for testing? Then later on they were doing tests and
they said, well, you can use your even go online.
We'll let you go online and do searches while you're
taking the test, because they're testing to see if you
know how to be resourceful to find the answers online.
Because that's the world we live in now. We live
in a we live in a Google world where what

(04:21):
eighty eight point five billion searches are done per day
on Google. Why would we discount that as a way
to answer in testing? Because that's how we live our lives,
so AI, why would we not let them help us
write things? I disagree with it. I think you should
be able to write, But.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, I feel like it takes away from like so
much when it comes to the kids, especially like you're
learning in school. You're supposed to learn how to do
all these things and write and express your opinion. And
I think a lot of this stuff takes it away
from you because then you agree like an idiot, I
do agree.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
What about you, CONDI what do you think?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
I think I understand the need for it, and I
think it's important. It's probably going to do really great things.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
It already has.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
However, as we experience with that CrowdStrike issue the other day,
if everything goes offline and everything goes down, what are
we left with? And I think it's pretty fascinating how
with all of this knowledge at our fingertips, people seem
to retain a lot less because we just rely on
everything all the time to tell us what to do,
where to go, how to operate, and if the power

(05:23):
grid goes down or the clouds go out, whatever it is,
we're gonna have a problem. So I think that we
should be more conscious of how often we lean on
these things and in which ways we lean on these things.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Wow, very good point. So if you're doing something like scary,
is doing it looking for looking for thoughtful advice in
an opinion, that's one thing. But for facts, we should
be able to get to fact trade ourselves. I'll tell
you this. Years ago, I took boating pilot licensing classes
for boating. Oh wow, hear me out, long story. And look,

(05:56):
you know, if you're out of the ocean in a boat,
you have all this technology. They can get you exactly
where you want to go in As a matter of fact,
it's set up to drive the boat for you using
all satellite work and you know everything else, mapping everything.
But what happens if you're in the middle of the
ocean and you're lost and you don't have satellite All

(06:17):
of a sudden, they taught us how to use the
stars at night to navigate to get back to shore.
And it is amazing, and it was mind boggling for me.
I mean, it took a lot for me to wrap
my head around it. I mean, but I can see
how necessary it is. Let's say you're out there on
a ship. I'm not going to use any particular ship brand, whatever,

(06:40):
and all of a sudden all of their satellite imaging
and satellite mapping goes out. What are they supposed to do?
You know what I'm saying? Someone on board has to
know how to navigate the stars to get you to safety.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well, so the same thing with AI depending on that
to do anything, Like, if you dependent on it to
do everything, you could be pretty much messed up, don't
you think? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:03):
I mean even so, I was working with my bank
about something and they said, sorry, we can't really do
anything today because all of our systems went down because
of the CrowdStrike issue. And I thought, what do you
mean you can't do anything. You used to be able
to do everything. You can't just go back to the
way that you used to do it. Okay, fine, I
guess we're just all paralyzed at this moment because we've
completely relied on these pieces of technology that might not

(07:26):
always be super reliable.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Exactly, and go back to what Scary was saying. Looking
for a place to vacation, he put on all the
data that was important to him, and it sped out
Santa Barbara. It's spent out all these different locations in
Orange County, and it also spit out in Charleston. It
also spit out Florabama Shores. All right. Now, a few

(07:48):
people snickered when they heard that, because you've seen the show.
I'll tell you Destin Florida has always had the most
beautiful beaches in America. It has always has. And Gulf Shores,
Alabama beautiful place that we may not consider because we
just don't know a lot about it if you're not
from that area. I may give you another example.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
About a month and a half ago, I was having
a family reunion with a couple of people we haven't
seen before. My uncle and my aunt and along with
my dad and my sister, and all these personalities were involved.
So I started saying, Hey, my dad is a fussy
Italian guy who likes this kind of food. My aunt
and uncle are a little upscale. They want that where
can we meet somewhere in North Jersey or Manhattan? And

(08:28):
it spit out four restaurants for us to have a
great family dinner at that I never would have thought of,
And we ended up at.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
The High Long in West Orange, New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I would never have thought to go here, but I
know the restaurant, but my first personal brain wouldn't have thought.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Of that, but A I did. Well, I know Highlan
used to be a place where old people went. They
still I mean, the beautiful view of the city and everything,
but now no, it's a whole different chef hold in
the kitchen, it's a beautiful place. Yeah, Danielle, what's up?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
It would be nice if we could figure out a
way to use it for what's scary was saying, for
those types of things, but then like keep it away
from things like replacing teachers one day, because I look
at it like, oh my gosh, one day, if we
can just a I can just teach the kids. You
could say math, lesson on geometry, blah blah blah blah blah.
You plug it in and the whole freakin' lesson will

(09:17):
come up and the kids will be taught like that.
Like stuff like that scares me. Replacing people and I know,
you know, replacing in our industry, stuff like that. If
there was a way to use it for the good
and keep it away from the bad, but I don't
know if that good luck for that.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
You know, remember a couple months ago we were talking
about this when Google first rolled out the Hey Ask
Ai anything. People were asking AI questions and it was
giving them answers like put glue on your pizza, swallow glass. So,
if it really is like pulling from all of these
different sources, you have to be really careful with where
it's getting information. And I hope it doesn't replace teachers.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
I hope. And at what point, you know, who's going
to be feeding the answers on AI to us? They
tell us how to feel about things and how to
vote about things, and you know, so who's going to
be under that control? You can see this thing becoming
a very very mad, mad mad situation. A lot of
texts coming in. What about people who don't know how

(10:13):
to sign their own name? Is AI going to do
that for him? Look at some of these texts, Oh
my gosh. People are very People are not as a
consistent consensus, not very trusting of AI quite yet when
it comes to the important issues, right, Definitely not putting
glue in your pizza, swallowing glass. No.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Maybe. I also think hopefully the AI will start doing this,
and it looks like it already is Elvis Based on
what you said about Alex trying to write a review,
maybe they'll roll out away that it secretly like not
necessarily watermarks, but has a digital watermark so it says
this was created by AI so people can weed through
was this actually information that came from a human or

(10:54):
was it created by a bot of some sort.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Well, that's what we need and not. Another reason why
is when you see a video of me having sex
with someone else that didn't happen. I wouldn't wish that
all my worst enemy, by the way, but there's got
to be a way for it always to be detected
as AI, because you're going to have all sorts of

(11:17):
problems with people not only in voice, but on camera
telling you something that is something they would never say
ever on camera or off camera. And so yeah, we
need to have it watermark to know if it is
AI or not without doubt.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I think too that the more we start relying on
it and it starts to replace humans, I would be
very interested to see how that changes people's mental health
and depression rates, because we know so much that interaction
with other humans is essential to our well being and
feeling good and smiling. And if you just take all
of that away completely, what does that.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Leave you with?

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Just sad sitting in your house talking to abot. That
doesn't seem like a good life.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, we all know that.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
The future really does scare me a little bit with
things like that, Like.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, yeah, me too. I mean, if you can use
it for things and harness it correctly, you're good. But
who is to judge what is correct? You know?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
And you know there's always that one person out there
that's going to harness it for the wrong reason.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, well this is yeah, this is opportunity for people
like that. Then you know how many people are out
there trying to harness it for the good? You know,
I'd like to know that list Also, back to what
you're saying, God, loneliness is a huge, huge killer in America,
and it's making people fall sick more and more every day.
Does AI? Is AI ever going to be a replacement

(12:38):
for a true, living, breathing human being? So no way,
Remember what God, I vote? I vote not. What's that dam.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
About that necklace that that they're creating where it's like
a person like that will be with you always and
keep you, like you know, keep you you know, not
being lonely. I mean maybe things like that will counter
you know, but it can't hug you.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
And you know, it's face. And if the butter goes down,
your friend dies.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I guess, Oh gosh, don't say that.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Don't say that friend.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, you know digital friend Toma got cheek, goodbye.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Scary was talking about these these new robots that can
give you a massage, and I saw a video of
that the other day and it looks like the worst
massage ever. Oh, it was like these these big posts
coming down, ring ring, ring, ring me. I'm like, that's
not a human. Human massage is so so important, that
connectivity between two human beings is a very important part

(13:32):
of that.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
And also, don't forget what happened to that factory where
the robot thought the person was an error and picked
them up and started slamming them around and killed them.
I don't want to robot touching me.
