Speaker 1 (00:01):
Is the City with Kate podcast AIS.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Tommy's just chewed our ears off during that song, saying
that five hundred mil of water gets burned every question
asked on.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
One bottle of water telling your story, one.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Bottle of fresh water for every everything every question you ask.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
So you mean cooling the servers down.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
But see then, Tommy, I'm visualizing that there's one person
there that's opening a bottle of water every time another
question comes in.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's not a bottle of it's another question they had
to get.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
They had to get Andy from the Fire Festival documentary.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
To get the water off the truck. Yeah, Tommy, the
water is used to cool the servers.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, exactly so, because otherwise they overheat, of course, but
some data servers are using up to sixty of a
city's energy.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
You do know that a lot of it is cloud
storage as well.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, the water in those clouds come from. Something to
think about when you're using tank you.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
For your anti AI campaign, tom I will never think
about it ever again, ever again.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
This AI program developed out of China has really really
got people concerned but excited at the same time. If
you're a pet lover, they've been able to create AI,
which is like Doctor Doolittle where you are able to
talk to the animals. In fact, they're able to talk
to you. Give me so the AI can assess the

(01:33):
movement of the pet and the sounds from the pet
and translated into the.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Language of your choice.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
So your dog, based on what it's doing, could have
a speaker around its neck on the collar fits which
talks to you, and it's meant to be accurate to
what the dog is.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Thinking and how it's behaving. I'm a fooling toad. Oh
my gosh, a snack.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
It'll just be food, more.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Food, food, food, food, toilet food, walk, give me the ball.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
The other oportion is you're able to point and shoot
your camera at the dog and the text will come
on the screen to say what your dog's thinking.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Are doing?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, it has to learn your dog first. They Yeah,
there must be some sort of training part to the AI.
But at the same time, what I like about this
technology is how can you ever challenge it?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
You can't prove it or you can't disprove it.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Of course, if it just goes with generic dog things
like yeah, could do with more food, if in doubt,
do with more food, food and walk I reckon is
just the default to the platform, and no one can
argue it's wrong.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, the default would just be pat me, pat me,
pat me.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Can we isolate that?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Grab Tom absolutely talk about what he was feeling on
Mother's Day?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
For some reason, I'm getting served up on my algorithm
at the moment.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Has anyone seen the translation glasses?

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
How do they work?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
So you wear a pair of glasses and whatever country
you go to, when somebody talks to you on the
glasses and pops up what they're saying.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh that's good, isn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
But then I you instantly go and get the reviews
on it.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
It's been absolutely slight.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
You know, there was the inny technology not long ago
fits and so it did a similar thing, except they
didn't put the text, but you would wear it like
an earbud, and then if somebody spoke to you in Italian,
your earbud would translate it, so you had the English
version for yourself.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
But see is that not because then you've got to
navigate when they're finished talking, and then you've got to
compute what they're saying and then have an answer.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
It'd be very confused. It's a very weird delayed conversation.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
With someone as it takes five or ten seconds to
process and then you come out with your answer.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
But are the glasses? Are they selling well? Or are
they is it?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
So?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well you know that well that Internet sensation speed. You
know that guy who runs really fast and he travels speed.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, I show speed. He put them on and as
soon as he started going, I'm like god, this is amazing.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
But then you go, you go to the reviews straight
away and it says they can't pick up.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
You've got to stand really close to the glasses. You've
got to speak.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Very slowly into the glasses into the language that you're
talking before it can actually work out what tom.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh, no, I was just you'd like to gather, and
you said you.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Optus launched a technology where you could call any country
overseas and it would translate the call on what they
would say to you and what you would That was
pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Called South Australia. Once I couldn't understand all love to
have understood it, idiot. Sorry hallucinated again.

Speaker 6 (04:59):
Fits in with her with cap Bridgie podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Let's move on to this one. Guys talk about fast talkers. Swani,
do you buy into fast talkers or do not trust them.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
No, I get very confused. I am I will very
clearly say I'm sorry. Could you slow down? You're talking
far too quickly for the pace.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
That is the worst thing you say to him, isn't it?
Slow down? Will you do it with your live aids?
You like? We have to sligh you down a little bit.
Sometimes take a deep breath, slow down and just.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Read the words, mate, one word after the other.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
See how you go.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Let's go from the top three one. This is interesting.
Gary Vee is a social media expert. He's a futurist.
He's an entrepreneur.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
He's invested in a lot of businesses, and he's made
a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
His own energy drink too, which is amazing, the energy drink.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
He's got an unusual combination of speaking very very quickly
and also very loudly.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Very loudly, presents on stage and makes outrageous predictions in
the future. He's got a new one, guys, and he's
standing by it. Have a listen to this.

Speaker 7 (06:08):
I believe a robot that is fully AI will marry
a human and vice versa for reel in your lifetime.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
And when you say an AI.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Does that mean like a physical body of a robot?
So you're saying that the bodies will get so good
that it will look like.

Speaker 7 (06:21):
Yes, Actually, it's funny. I've thought about this. I actually
think AI robots may save marriages. Just like real couples
introduce swinging in another partner, Now, is it even better
to introduce an AI robot that may help whatever sexual
or emotional things are going on in that relationship to
become an offsetting contributor.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean, you can hear him banging the desk at
the same time. But great to think that in the
future every relationship or married couple will just have an
AI robot in the cupboard that you can spend some time.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
That's not a massive prediction of what's the documentary about
a woman who married a bridge?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yea happened.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
I thought a hologram would be first.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
And then because you walk through it, you want to
be able to touch and feel it. And you know what
some of the robots out there and some of the
silicon skins and things that they're making is really scary.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Well, it's it's like we've got into virtual reality there
for a while. Love Chrissy, and he said you know
what this is.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
This is because people like for.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
The industry, for the erotic industry industry, which is worth
billions and trillions. Well you know how much it's worth massive.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
He said.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
You know what, people are just going to put these
goggles on and they're going to go transport themselves into
a room with someone that they want to be with.
And I do you know the only thing I think
of the whole time isn't imagine walking into that room
and finding that person just by themselves, trying to make
love to a fake person thrusting.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
You would have your rubber doll and then you could
have your goggles on at the same time fits and
it could be.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
What you want to.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm not I just bought a new camera. You know,
this is the future and no one can predict it.
But imagine if you were one of your kids down
the track says to you, I think I'm going to
propose to my girlfriend. What's your girlfriend's name? Number thirty
two stillicon number thirty two, because they would be there

(08:17):
on their wedding day with a robot that can walk,
and a robot that can talk, and a robot that
thinks and does everything else that a human could do.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
I think some people. I think there'd be a lot
of people in this world that are compatible with a robot,
and you know what, they probably this is the thing.
And we all know when you find relationships, it's not
a fairy tale. You always think it is a fairy tale,
but things do go wrong. People don't want that. With
a robot, you can prog this is the thing. You know,
you program it to your lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's not bad. How much are they I don't know
at this stage.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Rochelle, Hello, Hi, Hi, you guys, shure, what did you
want to say?

Speaker 8 (08:55):
I haven't watched this movie, but just hearing you guys
talk about this, it triggers add that I've seen Megan Fox.
We all know it is extremely hot. Is in a
movie as like an AI robot And I'm pretty sure
she sleeps with her owner, who is married to someone,
and it destroys the polls a partner marriage and then
she goes rogue.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
Okay, that's basically a documentary.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
So there's a robot. So are they a robot in
the movie or are you saying she just looks like
a robot?

Speaker 8 (09:24):
No, she's acting as a robot. Like there's a whole
they going to this store, they choose out they want,
and yeah, she looks obviously a bit plastic. In real life,
she fully is animated to be and acts as a
robot in this movie. It's all like purchasing one and
bringing them into the home. And I think it's all

(09:44):
about the AI.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
And I was like, I mean a new this isn't
a new comment, a new concept. I remember in the
eighties at Blockbuster Week for ten bucks, there was a
film called Weird Science Guy, you know, put in the
Perfect Woman, and you know it was.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Lebron.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
But I think I think, I mean, you know, whether
or not this AI situation, the robot situation would save
relationships is you know, obviously up for questioning. I think
what would say relationships is if we had a supplementary wife,
if a woman could also have a wife, right, happy days?

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Okayend like a supplementary number on powerful?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Can we d to Gary in Mount Druet? Hello, gaz,
how guys you've seen this happening? Buddy?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Would you date a robot?

Speaker 9 (10:42):
Oh? Yeah, of course, mate, because they look so amazing
at this moment. I've got I'm getting a lot of
videos of them. Yeah, there's even one I've seen. I
can talk to her. She looks real. I got after
because line on the bed, can you get something? Actually
got off the bed, picked it up and handed it

(11:05):
to the person and got back on the bed and said,
what do you want now? So Gary, they do all
that sort of stuff you know, I mean.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
So you're picturing you being there, the TV remotes fallen
on the floor and you feel like a beer at
the same time, And she can do that for.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
You, Gary, Yes. And then after that, Gary, she would
just ten minutes in Mount Druitt, That's for sure. If
you brought it home and your mates found out about
your robot, girlfriend, Gary, she is going mate, she would
have She'd be stolen in five minutes, napped, absolutely, the.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
First robot napping ever. Gary's on the hunt all right,
So you might.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Not need a robot if you Bloody occasionally unpacked the
dish or sea, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
They can do other things.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
