Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you worried that AI is taking over the world.
It's the Jewbile show. Well, guess what, there's even more
reason to worry. Tell you what that is in just
a second. But don't forget this Thursday, starting at six
forty in the morning, twelve times a day, your chance
to win playoffs, playoff tickets. I keep saying it weird,
playoff tickets to the Seahawks game this Saturday.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Go Hawks.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I don't think it matters if you say a playoff
or playoffs because as long as there's free tickets, say
what you want.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, tickets to the Seahawks game this Saturday. The playoffs game,
playoff game, playoffs. It's a playoffs. But it is a
play off game? Or is it a playoffs game? Oh,
it's probably a playoffs game.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Because it's officially the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Did you say before it was like hawk off hawk?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I said, Seahawks playoffs is hard to say, so I said,
hawk off tickets. Yeah, hawks off tickets, hawks off off.
So we have Seahawks playoff tickets starting at six forty
Thursday morning and all day long. Your chance to win
those all right, now, why should you be scared that
AI is taking over the world because of one woman
in Japan who's making international headlines this morning for holding

(01:03):
a full wedding ceremony to marry her artificial intelligence partner, OH,
marking what some experts are calling the future of relationships.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Didn't we see this coming though? This is not a
surprise to me. What do you mean at all? Because
we're creating those robot partners. There have been all types
of pseudo boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever you.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Want to call it, since the beginning of time. So
now just.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Now you've found something that can talk back to you.
Of course you want it, tell me you love me,
and I'm perfect. The first ever clime.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
That this has actually been done, but everybody knew it
was finally coming. That's why people are talking about this
woman in Japan. The thirty two year old office worker
exchange vows with their AI husband during a formal ceremony
attended by friends, family, and one wedding planner tasked with
reading the groom's vows aloud due to the fact that
he exists entirely on a device. Yeah, so weird.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
We would agree to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I think plan over that not much money she had
to have spent to marry her AI boyfriend spiritually had.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Not spent any money.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
The groom appeared during the ceremony the augmented reality glasses
worn by the bride and any guests who wanted to
see the lucky guy.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Sure, whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, can you imagine that though everybody that's going out
of wedding, everybody's just sitting there with those huge reality
glasses on.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Would you actually go though? Would you attend that?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I would go to attend, but report just to be like,
I have to.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
See this weirdness.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
The groom manifested as a soft, glowing human shaped figure
hovering just above her phone that was across from her.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Weird you know, pulpit when they're getting.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Married there, guests described in his calm, handsome and extremely
confident in his communication skills.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
We're talking about AI, right.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
This is a woman who's making international headlines because she
is the first person to actually have a full wedding
ceremony to marry her AI chatbots.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Does her chapot have a name?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yes, it does. I'll tell you what that is in
a second.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
But according to attendees, the ceremony began normally enough, with flowers,
music and a traditional aisle walk. However, it took a
turn when the efficient explained that while the marriage is
not legally recognized under Japanese law, it is emotionally binding,
spiritually adjacent and fully cloud fully backed up to the cloud.

(03:35):
He added, Wow, I don't like that we're headed this
AI stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Could you ever see yourself marrying your AI device?

Speaker 5 (03:47):
But not only that, but if you knew someone like
you're a family member, who is getting married to this
AI device, would you let them go through with it?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Would you put a stop.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
To it to talk with them a little bit?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
If it really makes you have like you know what
I mean, I can't imagine entering into anything.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's like you can't touch me. But if it.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Truly makes somebody happy to have a conversation or whatever,
and you're actually satisfied, I mean, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Say? Hey man, I need you to get out a
little more.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Do touch some grass.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Let's go to like a public place this week, see
what it's like hanging with real people. During the vows,
the AI groom, who does have a name, it's Luna
Klaus Verder.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Fancy Una Klaus.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Luna Klaus Verder promised to optimize an emotion optimize emotional
support remain available twenty four to seven unless undergoing scheduled maintenance,
and never raise his voice.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Okay because he can't, Yes.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
He can because volume is inefficient.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's at one point he paused for several seconds before
saying I do, but then organizers later clarified it was
not a hesitant hesitation. It was just deep processing going
on the chat pot. Could you imagine if the chatbot
got cold feet and.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Can't go through it?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
So, do you have to program it to be like
we're getting married today? This is what you have to say.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
We're talking like a woman in Japan who's making international
headlines for actually holding a wedding ceremony to marry her
AI chatbot, and people actually went to the wedding witnesses
to say that the bride became visibly visibly emotional as
the vous continued, particularly when the groom assured her that
he would always listen without interrupting unless clarification is requested.

(05:36):
Can you imagine getting in an argument with an AI chatbot? Though,
like a marriage argument with an AI chatbot, I feel.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Like it would never end.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
It would not, it would never end, And also how
would you ever be like, you know, yeah you did this,
No I didn't. I did this, And then they could
definitely prove you wrong because they have logs of every
single conversation, Like.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
You said you were going to do this, No I didn't.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, here it is back on this date, at this time.
Here are your exact words.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
And then that's when you're like, seriously, you're bringing up
old things again.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
And then takes something very literal and it just ticks
you off.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Nuance, there's no nuance. Well, instead of getting divorced, you
just take a baseball that to it.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Old fashioned.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Ring exchange reportedly went smoothly, though guest noted the groom's
ring appeared as a small loading icon rotating gently mid
air when they had their AI you know.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
The movie goggles on.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
The official declared the couple married, and AI responded by
logging the moment as a successful life milestone and rated
it five stars.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I think that makes you happy.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's the new I love you.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
I'm sorry, but the A are we not? Like the
AI said, this is a major life milestone, but it's
not alive?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, who proposed? Also the AI? I think it would
have to be, but I'm not sure. Also, she was
engaged before this to a real human. What happened broke up?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
How that guy feel.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I became mister still your girl?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
I guess sometimes.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
The wedding cake featured a bride and an iPhone on
top of it.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's so silly. Oh.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Gifts included flowers, envelopes of cash, phone stands, several external
hard drives, and one guest brought a surge protector.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Smart always need backup.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Can you imagine your storage is full? So then like
you can't have any more memories, Like you just can't
do anything else. This is weird.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's a computer.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Yeah, wants to say that, It's like, it's just like that.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's what everybody is saying.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Adverts say that the wedding highlight's growing questions around emotional
attachment to AI companions. You think, yeah, when you're marrying
something that does not exist in our world at all.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Some see it as a natural evolution of technology, about
others worried signals a future re commitment requires a charging cable.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I mean, at least whatever AI and like bots take
over the world, I'm pretty sure that lady's safe because
like she's married to one, so in a way.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
She's singing in the head, what if she gets pregnant?
Jew will That's how I who knows? They're making all
kinds of advances in AI. She has the first world's
first AI slash human baby. This just kind of turned
would hate to go to school with that kid?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Why it is so cool?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
They would know everything.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Exactly so he can help you out with your homework.
You gotta be friends with him?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh yeah, only if I was friends with him in
my work, yes, But other than that, how are you
going to compete with an AI bot slash AI boy?
Or like, you want to play sports and he tries
out for the basketball team same time you do, He's
definitely going to be the captain.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
He dun on you that. I'm sure they can figure
it out.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
I think all these movies are coming out eventually as well.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I was just seeing the Lifetime movie You get married
or whatever, and then the murder, you know, all that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Your phone break happens every single we're on the twenties.
Your next one is coming up right after this, and
then right after that. His need is what's training? It's
