Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're trying to
replace us here to discuss this
story is Sean Morgan.
He's an independent journalist.
Sean covers stories themainstream media won't in his
newsletter, seanmorganreportcom.
And I understand, sean, like asit relates to AI.
That was, you know, a littletongue-in-cheek and a little
funny entertainment news, butyou actually have some breaking
news out of Brazil.
That's concerning correct?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No, not outside of
Brazil, but just regarding the
announcement that happened forOpenAI a few days after that
cryptic tweet on xcom where SamAltman just said her.
Well, what he released dayslater was an update ChatGPT4 has
a lifelike voice.
That it is more charismaticthan a human is the only way I
(00:44):
can describe it.
It's flirtatious, actually, andthey had a demo where they
showed an employee of OpenAIinteracting with this AI chatbot
with this voice eerily similarto Scarlett Johansson, and it
was like two people in lovetalking.
(01:05):
It was bizarre, but we've neverseen, ever in the history of
humanity, a robot voice that wasexactly like I said, even more
human than human.
That's how warm and charismaticthis voice is, and you would
never know you would never,never know if you heard it on a
phone that it's actually amindless, soulless robot.
(01:26):
And so this is what happened,and this really is pretending a
future of emotional and evensexual surrogates with robots
and chatbots, and this is whatSam Altman is so excited about.
He was so excited to release arobot that has a voice just like
a human that he put that tweetout there.
(01:47):
Her, which is a movie about alonely human being who has no
human connection whatsoever andfell in love with a robot, and
so this is the future,apparently, that Sam Altman is
excited about and wants to usherin for us.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, look, I see
many pitfalls or many problems
with this kind of technology.
Yes, you know, clearly it's amove into the sphere where you
know you'll own nothing andyou'll be happy and you'll
probably not even have a realgirlfriend, but you'll have your
fake AI girlfriend and you'llbe happy too right, because they
don't even want us regularpeople procreating, having
(02:23):
families and persisting and youknow, and and and and
reproducing.
But also think about what yousaid.
I mean, the voice is solifelike, it sounds just like a
real person sat in a studio andthey recorded it and it is so
much like Scarlett Johansson'svoice.
They can mimic anyone's voices.
They can mimic mine and have mecall somebody on the phone and
(02:45):
say something and record it andpretend it's me.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's so charismatic
and so warm, this voice, that
they hired a different, reallive actress that sounds like
Scarlett Johansson.
And it's not just her voicethat's warm and charismatic they
have male voices that areexactly the same that it makes
you feel loved.
It's exactly when you have areally warm conversation with
someone and you hear their voice.
You feel loved by them andthere's no other power or
(03:14):
control that's more powerfulthan being able to replace that
human connection.
If you can imagine a companylike OpenAI that's in bed with
its funders, microsoft, if theycould control your emotional
intimacy life and even yoursexual intimacy life, because
(03:36):
that's the direction this isgoing, there's already an app
called Cupidai and they spellCupid with a K where you chat
with an AI model who's obviouslycompletely fake, but then you
can request this AI model tosend nude pictures of themselves
that are obviously completelyfake, but you can chat all day
with this model and you can havea sexual and or emotional
relationship with them.
This is already launched, butthis is without this advanced
(03:58):
human, lifelike voice that hasbeen launched just this past
week with Sam Altman's AI, justimagine, because OpenAI has a
robotics division.
They want to have a human sizerobot that has human like
reasoning capabilities and ahuman voice.
What is to stop OpenAI,microsoft and big tech from
(04:22):
launching these types of robotcompanions?
That would basically be a formof artificial prostitution.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't think there's
really much to stop them.
I think you're right.
You know what?
Then they might want to startwith President Joe Biden, right,
make a robot version of himthat they can reboot.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's a little bit
easier than having to inject him
with some drugs.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So, when I see Joe
Biden.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think to myself.
They've already done it.
The Black projects already havethis technology and they've
already launched it.
And he is a robot and he'stricking all of us.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I don't know If he's
a robot, he's sure
malfunctioning too much.
That doesn't really speak wellof their work.
Maybe they'll roll him out forthe debate in June, you know,
with Donald Trump, because if heperforms too well I will have
to wonder.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He needs an update.
They're updating the softwareconstantly on that one.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, maybe, so,
maybe so, Sean Morgan, it is
scary, it's very scary.
I don't want to downplay.
You know the implications ofthis technology, but sometimes
we have to have a sense of humortoo, or I'll just I'll drive us
crazy.
So much of this dark stuff.
It's good to see you, seanmorgan.
