ChatGPT
What the hell is ChatGPT, and why are these pasty nerds telling us it's going to save the world? Hannah and Maia bring you a special, pre-season episode with a discussion of this new AI technology and what it means for the future of our world. The democratization of this smooth-talking chatbot means even YOU can bully a robot into doing your homework. But does democracy really mean that everyone has a grubby finger in the proverbial tech pie, or has humanity begun to miss the point a bit? What is the point anyways? Well Hannah and Maia are here to tell you, so put on your tin hats, sound the Luddite alarm, and get in your bunkers for a very spicy episode.
