Basically, the only episode I can find is called Is Britain's Benefit System Broken?
So just on a technical side, how do you build a bot like this?
How do you go about doing it?
Because obviously it synthesized your voice as well.
Yes, yes.
So what are you doing?
Are you just plugging in every single thing you've written or said publicly to generate that?
And most people don't.
Before we let you go, it would be a shame for us to have you here and not ask you about the biggest news in AI right now.
So in March, OpenAI shut down its AI video generator, Sora, after launching a new app for it just five months earlier.
You'll have seen...
people using Sora to create bizarre videos like dogs driving cars, the queen rapping or ordering jerk chicken.
But the shuttering of the video generator comes after Disney withdrew from a billion dollar deal with it to license its characters in the video creation AI.
Jamie, why do you think this has happened?
And does this show you how sort of volatile the market is really?
I mean, we're constantly told that, you know, all of our investment is moving towards AI and
Ann Pettifer, The Economist, was on this show a couple of weeks ago saying that she's concerned that the AI bubble is going to burst and she was sort of comparing it to the 2008 financial crisis.
Is this a concern from a sort of economic perspective because of how much of our investments are tied up with AI?
Or is this just a simple example of Sora maybe not being as effective as people thought it was, so Disney not wanting to give over their IP to something that was actually a bit shit as a piece of tech?
They don't want to see Mickey get pegged by Minnie.
