on the golf course. The beautiful part is right now,
(00:33):
it's not sloppy out there because we haven't had hardly
any rain for the last several days. So the only
real slop, if you will, was just have to be
what whoever watered you know, whatever parts of the course.
But we're playing I'm playing another really prestigious course tomorrow,
so I'm really happy and I don't think it'll be squishy,
you know, underwater, if you will.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So that's have patriotic clothing to go with the patriotic shoes.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And then there's the bottom with the but oh yeah, nice.

Wow, one hundred nine, you said.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
One hundred and nine. Beatrice deal is her name?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, one hundred and nine or not. That's like the
ideal woman for a lot of guys. Milbourne Dud's baseball. Yeah, man,
she should get on tender.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
She was born Beatrice Swift in nineteen sixteen in Canada,
and she moved to Buffalo as a kid, and then
she married a guy who is no longer around.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
She's got what does it say here?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Oh my gosh, sixteen great grandchildren, four great great grandchildren,
and her first born has passed as well. Wow, as
you can imagine one hundred million, I mean, yeah, so yeah,
if I could, I mean as far as people living
past the age of one hundreundred. As of twenty twenty four,
there were an estimated one hundred and one thousand Americans
(03:04):
aged one hundred or older.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Now that's a lot more than I would have.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Thought, way, way, way more. I saw that note. That's
why I decided to go ahead and spit it out here.
I was like, are you kidding me? One hundred and
one thousand people in America are over the age they're
one hundred or older.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's incredible. Do you want to make it to one hundred?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I mean, it depends as long as I'm in good
shape as if I can, you know, think and move around,
I'm okay with it. But if i'm yeah, if I'm
falling apart.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Now, yeah, no, Chocolate's it feel like to be over
one hundred right now? You still sound pretty good?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You know?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I can find anybody with Google?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah they yeah, I mean that's a yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Quality of life is if it's diminished. If it's diminished,
then yeah, I mean, who wants to who.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Wants There was a woman I think it was on
social media that I saw the other day or some
show a CBS this morning or one of those, where
she is I think one hundred two, one hundred and three,
and she like, drives yourself to the grocery store and
she looked like she was probably I don't know, late seventies,
early eighties, and she was paying and everybody was going,
you are over one hundred years old, and she was
like yeah, and I feel great, and it was pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I wouldn't you ride with them in the car. No,
they're driving.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Even my parents right now, who are eighty. It's a
little scary.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, because I mean you don't know they and look,
I'm not trying to be morbid or weird, but they
could have a cardiac if anything can happen, because the
chances are elevated when you get older, they just are
you know, so yeah, you could be sitting there and
then you're like, ah, great, here goes my life, and
I know I should have drove.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
You know, they're just not as with it any longer,
the quick reflexes and hopefully they don't get a recording
of this if they do, I mean they're driving is
amazing and we have no problem with it whatsoever. And
it's outstanding.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
My parents both drive still. They're eighty three and seventy nine.
So you know, there was a lady who passed away.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's been about three years ago now, but she was
all the rage in twenty eighteen. She worked a neighborhood
hard way where store war go all the time, and
she was ninety nine years old. She was a cashier
at the hardware store. She had been there, you know
since I think hardware was invented. Yeah, and she was
she was adorable and everybody loved her and she was
just you know spry, smart as a whip, and she
(05:14):
was a cashier at ninety nine years old at the
Zettler Hardware over there own Harrisburg Pike.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
She was celebrated all over the place for finally retiring
at ninety nine. She made the decision it's time to
be done.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yep, Alex.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't know if you're a Dodger fan switching gears here, No, yeah,
I knew that you're a Broncos fan and you guys,
you guys took care of business last night. Chucks Bengals
got you guys. Oh boy, oh bit of a whooping in.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
A mile higher.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, terrible. Yeah, that bon Nicks is, he's sorry, that
bon Nix is.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think he's the real deal.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, you know where he came from, Auburn, well and
then Oregon, but War Eagle, War Eagle from my Auburn
family anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, No, I was just saying I think I think
he's the real deal. It's not like I watched him
last night and thought that. But you know, last year,
you guys did you were right there clearly and so yeah,
I mean, I I don't know. I onward and upward.
I guess if you're a Broncos fan, right, I guess.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, we'll see how things go.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Their defense was a whole lot better than I gave
him credit for, too. They had. They just manhandled the
offensive line for the Bengals. It was it was embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah. Did you watch the game, Alex?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I saw parts of it last night?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay, yeah? Did you? Were you out on with Do
you have the fire going all that?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Well?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I don't know, yeah it did. It's it's hard to
recall last night, but we were around.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was a couple of drinks involved.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It ended with wine.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I love it, man, all right, Yeah, there'll be some
of that in my the blue jackets. I'm going to
the game tonight, the Columbus Blue Jacket. So hockey is
is uh is definitely in the crosshairs tonight, although I
don't think I want to be in your shape tomorrow morning,
which is you just said, Well, I don't remember really no.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I mean we were doing things around the house and
homework with the kids and that kind of thing, and
it was on and I would glance at it every
now and then, but I wasn't sitting there staring at it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So this is incredibly interesting to me. Tilly the totally
computer generated, I guess, but the AI actress, And so yeah,
Hollywood is not taken to this, which you would imagine
is the case, but I don't know how real is this?
Is this really inevitable?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Alan?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Well, yeah, and the issue is and this is something
that actors and the unions have been warning about for
a while and everybody's kind of gone, well, computers aren't
there yet, but they are getting there, and that AI
has gotten so good that a company now has created
this AI generated actress who hear demo reels and her
photos look really real, like she is a real human
(07:54):
and her name is Tilly, and she is very realistic.
And the creator says that deciding what talent agency she's
going to sign with now, so then they will try
to sell her for whatever she is going to do.
It is Tilly. Remember this is AI generated, not a
real woman, but this is her in one of her reels.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Lett get to know each other and thanks for watching.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And she's completely AI generated, not real at all. But
it takes aspects of some of the greatest actors and
actresses in history and creates one perfect actress and She's
got an Instagram page showing off her screen tests it
looks totally like a.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Human candid moments and her big reveal AI generated and.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Even posting on Facebook on her Facebook page showing her
first time on camera and bringing the history of acting
into her personality.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I'm built on everything that came before me.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And that's the issue here.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And her creator says she's getting real attention, but it
is not sitting well with Hollywood, and Emily Blunt wrote, quote,
this is really really scary. Come on, agencies, don't do that.
A marvelous Arsimulu mocking he said quote, movies are great,
but you know what would be even better if characters
weren't played by actual humans. But Replica's approximating human emotions.
(09:09):
And Whoopie Goldberg on the view her take on it,
I mean, you think a ghost and everything she's been
in over many, many years, you are.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Suddenly up again, something that's been generated with five thousand
other actors. It's been given all of these you know,
it's got Betty Davis's attitude, it's got this one's, it's
got Humphrey Bogot's. So it's a little bit of an
unfair advantage.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So the creator says that Tilly is not a replacement
for human beings, but a creative work, and that AI
characters should be judged as part of their own genre
for what they could be in and do, and not
compared or competing with human actors. But a couple months ago,
that same creator said she wanted Tilly to be the
next Natalie Portland or Scarlett Johansson. So there is this
real debate now of do audience's care if the actor
(09:59):
is real or not, if she is really good and
can portray emotion and you know, in this case, because
it's made by whatever, they want her to look like,
she's of course gorgeous. That do we want them to
be real humans? But if they can look like they're
real human, does it need to be a real human?
And that this is the whole debate.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Now, I'll tell you if this takes off with regard
to box office receipts, if they start testing the waters
with this and they start doing really, really well because
whatever is really well written and you know, everything's integrated
and you know, and all of these things over time,
the I could really see these replacing the I mean,
(10:42):
think about what it takes to make a motion picture
when you have all the different actors and actresses involved.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And how much money, much more money they.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Would spend for you know, getting an Emily Blunt or
you know, fill in the blank actress Scarlett Johanson who's
like one of the highest paid, and then you But
like right now, I don't know how I would feel
because I haven't really processed this yet, but watching a
movie thinking, man, that's not even a real person that
(11:12):
I'm watching.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's really kind of fancy anime almost.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well you know though, will you know we talked last
week about you know, this is how Stallone can do
the Rambo prequel. AI is going to make that happen.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's a little bit of it.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But Stallone is going to be twenty years old again
and he's going to I guarantee that's what's going to happen.
We got this band, Velvet Sundown on Spotify, over half
a million listens a month. None of them are real.
It's a completely AI generated band. You're going to see this.
That Will Smith movie we were talking about, he's already
that was an AI Will Smith that he starred with
(11:47):
himself in that movie. It wasn't good. But the technology
has come a long way in the last five years.
I really think you're going to see this. And as
I've said before, Alex needs it. You need it. I
needed we need an IL. Seriously, for people the broadcast industry,
the last thing you want is to see an Alex
Stone AI generated clone doing news for.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
They Uh yeah, And then well, and you think about it.
I'm just watching, you know, Baseball is on the screen
in front of the playoffs right now, and I saw
a clip of football a moment ago.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
What if the then say, you know, we don't.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Need to pay players, we can just electronically tell AI
to make these games. And is it the same thing
that No, it's not right away, But then.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Why isn't it if you're sitting at home.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And that thing's different then because you that's already scripted
and the sports are not supposed to be scripted.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
But what that does is it brings that element in.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
And what if it's unscripted and you just tell AI
to come up with any any outcome?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh, I see, I thought you meant like the NFL
on CBS, you know, and we're watching Sunday and it's
all Ai Jones.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, but they tell AI, don't tell us what the
outcome is going to be. You decide and then we
watch and go back and forth.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, but I'm not buying that.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm not putting any money on something that where they're
going to tell me that it's random as far as.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Right, but it's already predetermined or it could be.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And how you ever got especially if it's like one
or two people who know what they and and they're
the only ones, but they're telling everybody, Oh, no, it's
totally random. I would I would stop watching it, Alex, Seriously,
if there were no humans playing football, if I would
be I don't agree.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
And I hear you.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
But but movies are kind of the same thing that
if it was if you knew going in there, none
of these people are real. These are all completely made
up by computers, does it? And let's say you're watching
a war movie. Is it the same thing as knowing that, yeah,
such and such actor is in there doing it And
maybe crowds won't care, and like you say, maybe that
it'll be so good that you go, oh, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, I don't think they will. People want the show,
they don't care whether it's genuine, they do. Look how
many artists are out there lips sinking. You know, well
Milli Vanilli did it. Their careers fell apart. But now
it is standard practice to go lipstick. And as long
as you're getting the explosions and the dancing and the
show that you paid for, people don't care. They want
the show.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
And then if we get to a point where all
you have to do is just type in, you know,
give me a war scene, World War two in France.
And if if our children can do that at home,
our movies, such a thing any longer, if it can
just then create it.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Man, it's but you would still have hopefully AI completely
screwing it up or making it like somehow when you
give it that kind of rein, it's.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Just stupid, like two fingers and right right what it cames.
It's not doing that anymore.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
And a lot of these cases, even the consumer models,
when you tell it to make something, it's not making
the adlaien faces in the crowd and the multiple fingers.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
It's getting better by the day. They're getting better at it.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And it's scary. It's really scary.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
In our lifetime, we are still going to see technology
changing things that we never even dreamed. Oh yeah, in
the next thirty forty years, we're going to see amazing things.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, we're already seeing them now.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Look at your iPhone. You know that the power of
war your Android device, the power of what you're holding
in your hand and what it can do. That that's
pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You could probably launch the Apollo mission with this cell phone.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I'm sure you could.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Somehow, the same computing technology that took up big rooms
is now in the palm of your hand.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I feel like it's inevitable. They're gonna end up being
Hollywood at some point. I don't know if it happens
while we're still alive, but I feel like it's inevitable.
They're gonna They're gonna cut out millions and millions and
millions of dollars that they're paying a regular human right now,
and it's gonna be much more efficient because it's going
to be there. There are no takes, It'll just be
(15:35):
and it's there.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Movie tickets will be like five bucks again.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You don't have to write that, sure, Yeah, because all
that was transient. Yeah, that's not gonna be They roll
back the price. They're like, well, we're not paying as
much overhead, so we're gonna get cut and cut you
a break. Oh and we're gonna take down the price
of popcorn and soda too. Yeah, right right, Alex Stone,
ABC News, Alex, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
See you man,
So over the weekend watching the Ryder Cup, I didn't
find exactly what they had on.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
But these are my new golf shoes.
Speaker 3 (00:10):

Yeah they yeah, I mean that's a yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Quality of life is if it's diminished. If it's diminished,
then yeah, I mean, who wants to who.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Wants There was a woman I think it was on

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Even my parents right now, who are eighty. It's a
little scary.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, because I mean you don't know they and look,

could have a cardiac if anything can happen, because the
chances are elevated when you get older, they just are
you know, so yeah, you could be sitting there and
then you're like, ah, great, here goes my life, and
I know I should have drove.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
You know, they're just not as with it any longer,
the quick reflexes and hopefully they don't get a recording
of this if they do, I mean they're driving is
amazing and we have no problem with it whatsoever. And
it's outstanding.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
My parents both drive still. They're eighty three and seventy nine.
So you know, there was a lady who passed away.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's been about three years ago now, but she was
all the rage in twenty eighteen. She worked a neighborhood
hard way where store war go all the time, and
she was ninety nine years old. She was a cashier
at the hardware store. She had been there, you know
since I think hardware was invented. Yeah, and she was
she was adorable and everybody loved her and she was
just you know spry, smart as a whip, and she
(05:14):
was a cashier at ninety nine years old at the
Zettler Hardware over there own Harrisburg Pike.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
She was celebrated all over the place for finally retiring
at ninety nine. She made the decision it's time to
be done.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yep, Alex.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't know if you're a Dodger fan switching gears here, No, yeah,
I knew that you're a Broncos fan and you guys,
you guys took care of business last night. Chucks Bengals
got you guys. Oh boy, oh bit of a whooping in.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
A mile higher.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, terrible. Yeah, that bon Nicks is, he's sorry, that
bon Nix is.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think he's the real deal.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, you know where he came from, Auburn, well and
then Oregon, but War Eagle, War Eagle from my Auburn
family anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, No, I was just saying I think I think
he's the real deal. It's not like I watched him
last night and thought that. But you know, last year,
you guys did you were right there clearly and so yeah,
I mean, I I don't know. I onward and upward.
I guess if you're a Broncos fan, right, I guess.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, we'll see how things go.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Their defense was a whole lot better than I gave
him credit for, too. They had. They just manhandled the
offensive line for the Bengals. It was it was embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah. Did you watch the game, Alex?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I saw parts of it last night?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay, yeah? Did you? Were you out on with Do
you have the fire going all that?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Well?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I don't know, yeah it did. It's it's hard to
recall last night, but we were around.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was a couple of drinks involved.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It ended with wine.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I love it, man, all right, Yeah, there'll be some
of that in my the blue jackets. I'm going to
the game tonight, the Columbus Blue Jacket. So hockey is
is uh is definitely in the crosshairs tonight, although I
don't think I want to be in your shape tomorrow morning,
which is you just said, Well, I don't remember really no.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I mean we were doing things around the house and
homework with the kids and that kind of thing, and
it was on and I would glance at it every
now and then, but I wasn't sitting there staring at it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So this is incredibly interesting to me. Tilly the totally
computer generated, I guess, but the AI actress, And so yeah,
Hollywood is not taken to this, which you would imagine
is the case, but I don't know how real is this?
Is this really inevitable?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Alan?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Well, yeah, and the issue is and this is something
that actors and the unions have been warning about for
a while and everybody's kind of gone, well, computers aren't
there yet, but they are getting there, and that AI
has gotten so good that a company now has created
this AI generated actress who hear demo reels and her
photos look really real, like she is a real human
(07:54):
and her name is Tilly, and she is very realistic.
And the creator says that deciding what talent agency she's
going to sign with now, so then they will try
to sell her for whatever she is going to do.
It is Tilly. Remember this is AI generated, not a
real woman, but this is her in one of her reels.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Lett get to know each other and thanks for watching.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And she's completely AI generated, not real at all. But
it takes aspects of some of the greatest actors and
actresses in history and creates one perfect actress and She's
got an Instagram page showing off her screen tests it
looks totally like a.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Human candid moments and her big reveal AI generated and.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Even posting on Facebook on her Facebook page showing her
first time on camera and bringing the history of acting
into her personality.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I'm built on everything that came before me.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And that's the issue here.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And her creator says she's getting real attention, but it
is not sitting well with Hollywood, and Emily Blunt wrote, quote,
this is really really scary. Come on, agencies, don't do that.
A marvelous Arsimulu mocking he said quote, movies are great,
but you know what would be even better if characters
weren't played by actual humans. But Replica's approximating human emotions.
(09:09):
And Whoopie Goldberg on the view her take on it,
I mean, you think a ghost and everything she's been
in over many, many years, you are.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Suddenly up again, something that's been generated with five thousand
other actors. It's been given all of these you know,
it's got Betty Davis's attitude, it's got this one's, it's
got Humphrey Bogot's. So it's a little bit of an
unfair advantage.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So the creator says that Tilly is not a replacement
for human beings, but a creative work, and that AI
characters should be judged as part of their own genre
for what they could be in and do, and not
compared or competing with human actors. But a couple months ago,
that same creator said she wanted Tilly to be the
next Natalie Portland or Scarlett Johansson. So there is this
real debate now of do audience's care if the actor
(09:59):
is real or not, if she is really good and
can portray emotion and you know, in this case, because
it's made by whatever, they want her to look like,
she's of course gorgeous. That do we want them to
be real humans? But if they can look like they're
real human, does it need to be a real human?
And that this is the whole debate.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Now, I'll tell you if this takes off with regard
to box office receipts, if they start testing the waters
with this and they start doing really, really well because
whatever is really well written and you know, everything's integrated
and you know, and all of these things over time,
the I could really see these replacing the I mean,
(10:42):
think about what it takes to make a motion picture
when you have all the different actors and actresses involved.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And how much money, much more money they.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Would spend for you know, getting an Emily Blunt or
you know, fill in the blank actress Scarlett Johanson who's
like one of the highest paid, and then you But
like right now, I don't know how I would feel
because I haven't really processed this yet, but watching a
movie thinking, man, that's not even a real person that
(11:12):
I'm watching.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's really kind of fancy anime almost.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well you know though, will you know we talked last
week about you know, this is how Stallone can do
the Rambo prequel. AI is going to make that happen.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's a little bit of it.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But Stallone is going to be twenty years old again
and he's going to I guarantee that's what's going to happen.
We got this band, Velvet Sundown on Spotify, over half
a million listens a month. None of them are real.
It's a completely AI generated band. You're going to see this.
That Will Smith movie we were talking about, he's already
that was an AI Will Smith that he starred with
(11:47):
himself in that movie. It wasn't good. But the technology
has come a long way in the last five years.
I really think you're going to see this. And as
I've said before, Alex needs it. You need it. I
needed we need an IL. Seriously, for people the broadcast industry,
the last thing you want is to see an Alex
Stone AI generated clone doing news for.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
They Uh yeah, And then well, and you think about it.
I'm just watching, you know, Baseball is on the screen
in front of the playoffs right now, and I saw
a clip of football a moment ago.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
What if the then say, you know, we don't.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Need to pay players, we can just electronically tell AI
to make these games. And is it the same thing
that No, it's not right away, But then.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Why isn't it if you're sitting at home.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And that thing's different then because you that's already scripted
and the sports are not supposed to be scripted.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
But what that does is it brings that element in.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
And what if it's unscripted and you just tell AI
to come up with any any outcome?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh, I see, I thought you meant like the NFL
on CBS, you know, and we're watching Sunday and it's
all Ai Jones.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, but they tell AI, don't tell us what the
outcome is going to be. You decide and then we
watch and go back and forth.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, but I'm not buying that.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm not putting any money on something that where they're
going to tell me that it's random as far as.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Right, but it's already predetermined or it could be.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And how you ever got especially if it's like one
or two people who know what they and and they're
the only ones, but they're telling everybody, Oh, no, it's
totally random. I would I would stop watching it, Alex, Seriously,
if there were no humans playing football, if I would
be I don't agree.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
And I hear you.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
But but movies are kind of the same thing that
if it was if you knew going in there, none
of these people are real. These are all completely made
up by computers, does it? And let's say you're watching
a war movie. Is it the same thing as knowing that, yeah,
such and such actor is in there doing it And
maybe crowds won't care, and like you say, maybe that
it'll be so good that you go, oh, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, I don't think they will. People want the show,
they don't care whether it's genuine, they do. Look how
many artists are out there lips sinking. You know, well
Milli Vanilli did it. Their careers fell apart. But now
it is standard practice to go lipstick. And as long
as you're getting the explosions and the dancing and the
show that you paid for, people don't care. They want
the show.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
And then if we get to a point where all
you have to do is just type in, you know,
give me a war scene, World War two in France.
And if if our children can do that at home,
our movies, such a thing any longer, if it can
just then create it.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Man, it's but you would still have hopefully AI completely
screwing it up or making it like somehow when you
give it that kind of rein, it's.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Just stupid, like two fingers and right right what it cames.
It's not doing that anymore.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
And a lot of these cases, even the consumer models,
when you tell it to make something, it's not making
the adlaien faces in the crowd and the multiple fingers.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
It's getting better by the day. They're getting better at it.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And it's scary. It's really scary.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
In our lifetime, we are still going to see technology
changing things that we never even dreamed. Oh yeah, in
the next thirty forty years, we're going to see amazing things.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, we're already seeing them now.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Look at your iPhone. You know that the power of
war your Android device, the power of what you're holding
in your hand and what it can do. That that's
pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You could probably launch the Apollo mission with this cell phone.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I'm sure you could.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Somehow, the same computing technology that took up big rooms
is now in the palm of your hand.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I feel like it's inevitable. They're gonna end up being
Hollywood at some point. I don't know if it happens
while we're still alive, but I feel like it's inevitable.
They're gonna They're gonna cut out millions and millions and
millions of dollars that they're paying a regular human right now,
and it's gonna be much more efficient because it's going
to be there. There are no takes, It'll just be
(15:35):
and it's there.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Movie tickets will be like five bucks again.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You don't have to write that, sure, Yeah, because all
that was transient. Yeah, that's not gonna be They roll
back the price. They're like, well, we're not paying as
much overhead, so we're gonna get cut and cut you
a break. Oh and we're gonna take down the price
of popcorn and soda too. Yeah, right right, Alex Stone,
ABC News, Alex, thank you very much.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
