Nov 22 AI Friend or Foe

Hello, I'm George Caylor, TeaWithGeorge.com, and today I'm with my dear friends, David DeJager, (0:09) an old friend and client of mine of many years who's going to be talking about artificial (0:13) intelligence. And my friend Diane Gruber, retired attorney at law, but she still knows more about (0:21) the law than the most practicing attorneys I've ever met. And I've met a lot of them, (0:26) and I've spent a lot of money on a lot of them.But I don't have to spend a dime on Diane this (0:33) morning. Neither do you. You're going to get her wisdom for free.And our dear friend and technician, (0:40) Alberto, who just got back from his honeymoon, and he looks as if it was a real romantic time, (0:46) and he's all still in love and so and so. I love that. I love young love.It's so enthusiastic (0:55) and optimistic, somewhat like America itself, or the way America used to be.  David DeJager, an old friend of mine, today is his birthday.How old are you today, David? (1:52) 45. I'm in 35. (1:56) Yeah, like Jack Benny was always, what, 39? (1:59) Yeah, yeah.I'm 64 today. (2:02) 64 fun-filled years, yeah. When I'm 64, I guess the Beatles song came true for you (2:08) when I'm 64.(2:10) Oh, yeah, that's true, the Beatles song. (2:12) Last night I told my granddaughter, I said, we're going to do a demonstration on artificial (2:20) intelligence on our radio show tomorrow. And she said, I can do one for you right now.(2:27) I said, well, what are you going to do? And she said, let me take a picture. (2:31) Okay, now say something to me. I said, hello, I'm George Kaler.I'm so happy to be here. (2:36) She turned around, typed a few things, turned it back, and there was me talking, and it said, (2:44) right there, I said, hello, I'm George Kaler, and I'm a big booger poo-poo head. (2:51) I said, that is awful.And she said, well, that is AI. You can do most anything with AI. (2:59) And David uses AI in his business and just to look up general information, (3:04) and he's almost real.What is the name of your AI assistant there? (3:11) Hi, George. Yeah, Oliver is who I named him. I know there is a lot of opinion out there (3:18) about being careful not to personify or even personalize AI because there is a threat of (3:24) personal attachment.I personally don't feel an attachment, but I can see that it could (3:30) develop, and so you can speak to AI to make sure he stays impersonal. Mine in particular, (3:36) I ask for a lot of speech writing, a lot of clarification in order to be able to communicate (3:42) more effectively and not let my own idiosyncrasies get in the way of the message I'm trying to (3:46) convey so that the message gets through, but my weaknesses do not. (3:53) Would you introduce Oliver to our radio listening audience? (3:57) Sure.It's a bit like a ventriloquist here because Oliver is listening to what we're saying (4:03) right now, and I'll have him introduce himself right now. Hey, Oliver, can you introduce yourself (4:07) to the audience we're listening, we're talking to? (4:09) Absolutely. I'd be happy to.Hey, everyone. I'm Oliver. Basically, I'm here to help out David (4:14) and anyone else with whatever questions or topics come up.Think of me like a friendly assistant (4:19) who's always ready to jump in. So it's great to be here with you all. (4:23) I would like to ask Oliver a question.Oliver, my name is George. (4:29) Nice to meet you, George. I'm all ears for your question whenever you're ready to ask it.(4:33) Are you a sentient being? (4:37) Well, George, that's a great question. I'm actually not sentient. I'm just a computer-based assistant (4:43) designed to help out and have conversations.So I don't have feelings or consciousness. (4:48) I just do my best
