10.28: How Things Played Out - Hour 3

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seven oh five Here at news Radio eight forty whas,
it is Coffee and Company, and we are fueled by Thornton's.
Here at NewsRadio eight forty Whas. Keep Thornton's in mind
on your way in or your way home, wherever you're going,
whatever you're doing right now. If you're in Kentuckyanna, there's
probably at Thornton's close by, because there's nearly fifty of them,
and they can help you get your day started. But again,

(00:20):
it doesn't really matter what you're doing. They've got a
lot obviously when it comes to fueling the vehicle, they
can certainly help you there. And if you're a member
of the Refreshment Awards program, you're gonna save money every
time you're at the pump, and you can save up
to twenty cents off per gallon once per week. So
that's one of the many reasons why you should be
a member. If you're not, go to Refreshment Awards dot
com or download the app today. It's free and you

(00:41):
will benefit from it, I can tell you that. All right,
So been a busy morning so far. As you heard
there in the news update with John Shannon, the story,
we talked quite a bit about yesterday where he was
an officer involved shooting in the Newburgh area. We do
now know that the gunman who would not put down
his firearm in that leg to him being shot by

(01:01):
an officer. That individual did die. And we now know
that there was a birthday party going on for a
woman who she was also shot, which is why law
enforcement responded to that area because the woman had been
shot and when they arrived there was a man holding
a gun and we know what now played out after that.

(01:22):
So I just can't imagine having a birthday party for
it sounds like one of the children because she is
she's a mother, I believe with either two or three children.
That was one of the family members said when they
talked to our partners over there at Woky. But yeah,
just a tragic situation overall. But the twenty year old
Frank Aguilar, that is the man who they've identified that

(01:45):
was armed with a gun and was a guest at
this party. The officers ordered him to drop the weapon,
but he walked towards the officers with a gun raised
and that led to one officer firing a shot and
that was a fatal shot. So a tough situation all
the way around. But we'll have more as far as
the status of the of the woman whenever that information

(02:07):
is available. All right, I'm sure a lot of you
that are heading to work right now in recent months
have started to utilize, maybe by choice or maybe by
the nudge of your employer, to use AI in some
form or fashion. And what I always tell people is that, yes,
it's gonna be wrong often, and you just have to

(02:31):
because I think what happens now is if somebody puts
in like a quick search for something, maybe something that's
pretty and something that you would just assume anybody would
know a robot or not, or if you maybe even
ask it's something that's a little bit more of a
difficult question. If you see that maybe the information is
incorrect or maybe halfway true, you just assume, well, this

(02:54):
is stupid, this doesn't work. Who wouldever use that? I
think a lot of people have been have met AI
with an XP like that and say, oh, anybody using
this as an idiot because it's never even right. Well,
both things can be true, it makes mistakes, it's all
it's wrong. In fact, it's wrong often, but you kind
of you have to know how to massage it, I think,
and you have to really know what you're you have

(03:15):
to know that there's that it's not a full proof
thing to where you can't you know, you can't just
run with anything it gives you and say well that's
that's one thousand percent fact. So if you don't use
it at all and you have no plans, good for you.
You can do whatever you want. But I just I
think there are many that don't realize you're not cheating

(03:36):
a system. You're not, I mean, you're not necessarily turning
your brain to mush. If you just simply utilize it
as a tool to help you do certain things. That's
where I think it's it's it's it's it's most powerful.
And what I'm getting at is just these these AI tools, right,
the Chad GPTs, the Google geminis. Now there's AI really everywhere, honestly,

(03:58):
I mean there's there's all it's artificial intelligence is utilized
in so many different ways, and it is so impressive
also scary, right, I mean it And I can't think
of anything in society in my time as an adult
that has moved this quickly. I mean, it is, it
is rapidly changing in it and that's not changing. By

(04:21):
the way, that's going to continue to be the case.
So imagine where we'll be in a year. And sometimes
I think, wow, I can't wait to see all the
latest development. Sometimes I think, wow, that's really scary. I
don't want to think about what life looks like for
us as this rapidly evolves and becomes something that that
folks rely on a lot more so, Again, you can

(04:42):
find examples of a lot of different things as far
as what it's doing to certain industries, the good that
it that it provides, the bad that it that it
that it provides, there's endless examples of of you really,
you can find whatever you want that tells you whatever
you want to believe about what AI is doing to
the world. But it's it's here to stay. There's no

(05:02):
doubt about that. And I think the quicker you just
accept that and not only and look, I don't mean
you have to accept it like you know, we're dunking
on you. Hey, you thought AI was going to be
just a quick thing. No, it's here. It's not bad.
I just feel like people don't realize they could, they
could benefit from it, but it's not because they're not
still using their brain. They're not still being creative. They're

(05:23):
not still I mean, it's it's a tool that can
really really speed up the time it takes you to
do certain things. So it's not going anywhere. But what
I want to get to on the other side, there
is a real good I guess, thorough testing of the
different models out there. Again the Chad GPTs those kind
of AI tools, and we'll tell you which ones are

(05:45):
in fact the most accurate and which ones are the
least accurate. So we'll get to that on the other side,
among other things. But first let's get to a quick
updit of traffic and whether we'll see how the roadways
are looking as we get this Tuesday morning started right
here on news Radio eight forty whas it is seven
eighteen here on a Tuesday morning. Thank you for joining

(06:05):
us at news Radio eight forty whas we're helping you
at least we're trying to help you get your Tuesday started.
Coffee and company with you, and we are fueled by Thornton.
So back to the AI conversation. We've got Chad GPT
co Pilot, Gemini, Perplexity. There's all kinds of different AI
tools that have become popular, and all of them make mistakes.

(06:28):
None of them are perfect, but these numbers may surprise
you as far as just the accuracy. So there's a
massive international study that was led by the BBC and
the European Broadcasting Union that has found these AI assistants,
like those ones I mentioned, they get news wrong. In fact,
they get it wrong forty five percent of the time.

(06:50):
Now I will say getting it wrong. I mean it's
not such a gray area about being wrong or right.
And if you utilize these tools, then I think you
know what I mean when I say that, right, it
can get you what you need. But maybe you know
that there's something that's just slightly off and sometimes it's
just way. Sometimes you just make stuff up like that

(07:11):
happens too, So I'm not defending it as if it's perfect.
But you know, when I see forty five percent of
the time it's wrong, I think there's different ways. I
guess you can be wrong. It could still be useful
and you just kind of know that, Okay, you got
what you needed, but maybe they didn't have the entire detail.
But again, that's why you should use it as a
reference as a tool, not for it to just tell
you everything that you think you need to know. But

(07:33):
nearly half of the responses that they tested it was
about forty five percent of the time that they didn't
get it right. So the research is the largest of
its kind as far as testing this, and it's raised
a lot of questions about should people trust it. And
I don't think you should trust it as an end
all be all. I just think you should know going
in what you're dealing with. And I guess I don't

(07:56):
know where I land if I'm in the minority or
if others do it use it the same way. I
just take it for what it is and realize it
can still be certainly useful if you just sort of
know where your limits are as far as just information.
And I will say I learned pretty quickly that you
gotta tell it to double check. I mean you really
you kind of have to coach it. And if you

(08:16):
can coach these AI tools, not even to the searches
like the chat, GPTs and the geminis, I mean, if
you know how to coach it, you know how to
push its buttons. Essentially, that's where it becomes that's where
it becomes super valuable. But again. The study involved twenty
two public service media organizations across eighteen countries and fourteen languages.
Researchers tested more than three thousand AI generated answers to

(08:38):
thirty core news questions, so forty five percent of responses
had at least one major issue, thirty one percent had
serious sourcing problems, missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions, and then
twenty percent had major factual errors or outdated information. The
worst performer Google Gemini, which had significant issues in seventy

(09:00):
seventy six percent of responses, more than double any other system.
Copilot was next at thirty seven followed by Chad GPT
at thirty six percent. So perplexity was at thirty percent.
So researchers, you know, they if you're looking to just
get the news, that's that to me. Again, maybe I'm
just somebody that uses it more often than others, but like,

(09:23):
I just know that it's not something that is a
real time, every single second tool as far as with
what's like, if you just reference something from the Internet
and use it like you're using a Google search for news,
you'll see that the stories that come up are not new.
Maybe they get there one day, but yeah, when it
comes to like, hey, let's see what story weekend, or

(09:45):
let's see what the latest is on, you know, some
random story that like you know, you know is is
is in the news now. I mean you're not going
to get the most accurate and most update date information.
But again, use it, you know, use it for wherever
you see the value in it. And again just understand

(10:07):
it's it's not going anywhere. And I just think people
don't realize some people don't realize that it can really
help them. But I guess the balancing act is understanding. Okay,
it's not the end all be all, but let's just
see what we can get out of it to make
to make tasks and just make a lot of things easier.
All right, quick update of traffick weather on the way.
We've got a sports update coming up as well right
here at news Radio eight forty WHS. I would say

(10:31):
right now, with the government shut down, the flight delays,
it has probably been the most covered impact as far
as just the way folks who don't really if those
who don't work for the government to where they are
experiencing this going without a paycheck or they don't have
a significant other that's in a situation like that, if

(10:51):
you're just if you're just kind of in your own
bubble and you know you're you don't you haven't noticed anything.
I guess if you go to the airport, that may
be where you would you would first notice it. Because again,
the amount of air traffic controllers that are calling in
using sick days because of the situation, I mean, it
continues to climb. And this is a number that sounds

(11:12):
pretty substantial, but I will also admit it could it
could be a number that is that maybe it makes sense,
but fourteen hundred flights were delayed yesterday because of the
air traffic controller absences. So that will probably only get
worse until the government shuts down. But the biggest impact,
I think for those that have yet to feel it
just yet, you will whenever the whenever you're no longer

(11:35):
able to get the sistance from the government to feed
yourself and your family. And I'm seeing here that the
Louisville food pantries they're bracing for shortages as these snap
benefits are set to run out. So that is something
that obviously the state of Kentucky's going to try to
help as best they can. That's something Andy Bisheer has
been pretty upfront about, but I don't know. It's hard
for me to imagine, even with the state stepping up,

(11:57):
when snap benefits come to a halt on Sataturday, November
the first. I just hard for me to think that
that just means everything's gonna be okay here until this
gets shut down. So hopefully I'm wrong, But once you
start losing access to something you've relied on, meaning the
assistance to to feed yourself and feed your family, that
will be where you mean again, that's just that's an

(12:19):
awful situation even think about. But you have no control,
like you're helpless. There's nothing you can do. And I've
oftentimes and I try to tell myself this all the
time because it's it's good advice that was given to
me long ago, that I still don't feel like I
remind myself of this as much as I should. But
don't worry and don't stress about things you can't control.

(12:39):
Obviously a lot easier said than done, right, I mean,
if it was that easy, then you know a lot
of us would would would would have a lot of
stress in our life eliminated. But if you really think
about that, if you have zero control and you have zero,
zero impact on changing something. Letting it consume you is
at times almost impossible. But also all it's going to

(13:03):
do is just try to be crazy. So this is
an example of that to where it'd be really hard
for me to be mindful of that whenever it comes to,
you know, feeding my children, that kind of stuff. So
hopefully this government shut down is ended sooner rather than later.
But as we've said, for really a week, maybe longer

(13:23):
than a week, there doesn't appear to be any end
in sight, which is a scary scary thing, especially if
you are someone that knows that eventually it's going to
really impact you in a negative way. So again we'll see,
only Tom will tell. All right. So Louisville basketball back
in action tonight in an exhibition game against buck Nell,
and I'm looking forward to seeing how they look against
this kind of a team. Now, with that said, it's

(13:44):
not like they're playing Spaulding, who I believe they played
in an exhibition last year. This is a legitimate Division
One team that has at Tim's made some trips to
the NAA Tournament. But it'll be a nice change of
pace from playing a good Kansas team that came into
the umpster on Friday, and really they were better from
start to finish. And there's a lot of value for
Pat Kelsey there as far as really learning what he

(14:06):
has to work with and where his team is right
now against that caliber opponent. And I think as far
as the talent the overall personnel, it's still tough to know.
But I'm not despite how bad the Kansas matchup looked
at times, I'm not looking at Louisville thinking, Okay, well,
they didn't get the players I thought they got. This

(14:26):
team doesn't have the pieces to be really good. I
just think it comes down to finding a way to
make it all work together, and that's easier said than
done when you've got a bunch of brand new pieces.
And that Kansas game was really just a chance for
you to see how you stack up against a team
that is going to be probably one of the better
teams in the country. I don't know if Kansas is

(14:48):
going to be a top five, top ten team, but
certainly they're never short on talent. And oh, by the way,
they have one of two current active coaches I'm sorry,
one of three active coaches in college basketball that has
multiple National Championships, so you know it was it was
gonna be a tough test regardless. So tonight, for me,
I'm just hoping one that they win be a tough

(15:09):
look to lose another exhibition game. Now again, people throwing
out that Louisville's lost a bunch of exhibition games in
recent years, can we can we not include the Kansas one,
as if that's the same thing as losing to Leanne Rimes,
who Kenny Payne lost to in his first game. Who
was the name of that school. It wasn't Leeann Rhymes
or Ryan? Yeah, Leonora Ryan. And then also losing to

(15:29):
Kentucky Wesleyan the next year. And by the way, I
always throw this out there because it really I think
just it's it's an added detail that lets you know
how bad Kenny Payne was in that game against Kentucky Wesleyan.
Kenny Payne only played four and five star recruits in
the game and lost to a Division two team that

(15:51):
really wasn't very good in Kentucky Wesleyan. So and I
mean good for their level, clearly, they should never be
able to compete with the program like Louisville. So you know,
tonight wouldn't be a loss to a team like that,
But still, you don't want to lose, and I don't
think they will, but I would hope that just in
the quick turnaround that you have here, that we see
a little bit more, I guess, of a structured rotation.
I know they want to play a lot of guys,

(16:12):
and they're going to play them if they're healthy. That's
what pack Kelsey wants to do. But I mean, so
much offensive freedom for everybody. It's not like I'm saying, hey,
you shouldn't give this guy or that guy the green light,
but when everybody's got the green light to just create
and make a play, and the opponent kind of knows
that and they're daring you to do it because they
feel like they've got guys that can defend a lot

(16:34):
of your supposed playmakers. I mean, you're playing into the
hands of the other teams. So Kansas clearly was going
to defend louive On in a way that I would
imagine buck Neil can. But still, I just, again, there's
no way to say without it sounding like I'm being
dramatic and over the top, But I just think it's
the best way to describe it the players themselves. It
looked like they all were playing together for the first time.

(16:54):
Now they were playing for the first time against a
real team. But you know, still, I'm hopeful that they
look a little bit more sharp tonight and look a
little bit more organized. But we'll see again. They're taking
on Bucknell at the UMP Center. All right, quick break
triving weather updates on the way right here on news
radio eight forty WHS. So the Federal Reserve is expected

(17:16):
to cut rates tomorrow, which of course is a good thing,
right and interest rates when it comes to mortgages, we
really got spoiled for a long time there because it's
it's it's when you look at you know historically where
rates have been lately is not is not that bad,
but it's much different than it was for a good stretch,

(17:38):
And you know, that's that's what people compare it to, understandably. So,
so if you are somebody that has been putting off
putting your home on the market or maybe buying a
new home because of the current climate and just the
coverage of the real estate world and the housing the
housing market, I get it because those headlines can be
certainly intimidating, but before you make any decision, I would

(18:02):
reach out to my friend Bob Sicola of the Cecolar
team at Remax Properties East because he can. He can
help you get through all the weeds if you know
what I mean right. He'll answer questions, they'll let you
know what you really need to know when it comes
to that process. Rather it be buying or selling a home,
and when it comes to selling your home, I mean,
it's more competitive than ever and that's just where real

(18:23):
estate is right now, and the agent makes all the difference.
And in the Louisville area there's nobody better than again
Bob Sicohler and his team. It's a Cecola team at
Remax Properties East. His job is to make your property
stand out from all others and that's what he does.
The Cicolar team makes sure buyers don't just see your home.
More importantly, they'll remember it. It'll make an impression on him.

(18:44):
And because when it comes down to it, pricing, presentation
and marketing that means everything in that environment of selling
a home, and nobody knows that better than Bob. He'll
give you expert guidance that you can't get anywhere else
from anybody else. When it comes to pricing your home,
strategic and attracting the serious offers that you need. So
even when the market feels crowded in real estate, there's

(19:06):
there's you know, there's no such thing as is perfect timing.
I mean, you just if you do it the right
way when it comes to those three things again, pricing, presentation,
and marketing, it'll work out for you regardless of what
the timing says, regardless of what the market says. So again,
don't think about it, Oh it's timing's not right. Don't
put don't put off making a big profit and taking

(19:28):
advantage of which your home is worth. Because of that,
I mean, and it may turn out that maybe you
maybe you decide not to, but at least reach out
to Bob because he'll help you get through that process
and again tell you what really matters, answer questions that
that are important to know. So again, right now, if
you're somebody that especially been thinking about, Okay, I'm not
going to put my house in the market because I
know what it's going to a praise for and I

(19:49):
just know that that's going to be too expensive and nobody,
nobody would would buy. Well, you may be wrong and
you don't know until you know. So again, it's Bobsicolor
with the Colar team at Remax Properties. Ease go to
we Sell Louisville dot Com to get more information. Let
Bob and his team turn your first sales sign into
a sign that reads sold. Again, it's the Cold team
of Remax Properties East, we Sell Louisville dot Com. We've

(20:11):
got traffic and weather updates on the way for you. Also,
we've got another sports update coming up. As we are
rolling through a quick, quick Tuesday morning, just flying by,
it is seven fifty one here at News Radio eight
forty whas
