Jason Schreier

what are we doing here so leon's one-liners always feel fine maddie i think that's okay i think it can play around with like quote-unquote serious ideas without while still being super campy like it's still when yeah that's what it's talking about saving the world and spencer regretting his actions and elpis and all that other crap it's not i don't know i don't know how seriously you're meant to take it when leon is just being like it's very metal

I'm Jason Schreier.

And I'm Kirk Hamilton.

And hello.

It's all a wonderful...

Yeah, with our work, our own network and everything.

Yeah, we should say here that we don't actually know how much was really used here.

Yeah, I think it's just kind of how things are now.

I guess it's poisoned.

I mean, I think that the conversation we had, the three human beings sitting in front of microphones, was interesting.

And in the end, it really isn't that germane how much AI was involved in articulating those ideas.

And I wouldn't say actually that Karamanos' post was like, you know, strongly anti-AI.

It was like a very nuanced and complex and very lengthy look at the ways that AI works and the ways that it doesn't.

And in the essay, he talks about how he uses them and, you know, how he thinks they're appropriate at various points.

So it was like this kind of very complex post.

post that, you know, you could kind of read it either way.

That was a bit of the critique that we were sent was like, well, it's kind of a Rorschach test, right?

You can look at it and see it as anti-AI or pro-AI, and that that kind of matches up with it maybe being AI generated in the first place, that it kind of toes this middle line and lets you, you know, make of it what you will, which is a very kind of AI way of being.

So, Maddie, this is something that you didn't get a chance to talk about in our episode last week.

But the fact that you're accepting freelance submissions and then now part of your job as an editor is sort of, you know, putting it through the sieve to try to tell is this AI or not is kind of a new aspect of your job now.
