There are so many chicken little's these days decrying the downfall of man at the hands of Large Language Models. There are also, a lot of grifters taking advantage of that panic to line their wallets or just feel alive if only for a moment. Which is why we are here to fight that misinformation and identify the Seemingly Unrelated truths behind the myths and fears around artificial intelligence.
Joining us this week is a guest host for the first time. They are a researcher into health's role in homelessness prevention as well as a veteran front line mental health nurse from the Covid-19 pandemic it is Franklin Johnstone Didymus!
Alongside Frank, we will tackle the big questions like: Is the uncanny valley real, or just ableist nonsense? Was General Ned Ludd the figment of the polices' imagination? Is the Terminator less scary than the second coming of Christ? And of course...do people stop fearing AI the minute they realize they want to have sex with it?
These questions and the unusual feelings everyone has for Spirit the horse this week on Seemingly Unrelated!
