ChatGPT hit the market, and then came its competition. Google's Gemini, Microsoft's Copilot, China's DeepSeek, and others. For hundreds of millions, perhaps even over $1.5 billion globally, life changed.

You don't want to miss this. I'm going to play a bite-sized sample of The Current. It's my other podcast where we dive into all things tech, trends, and life online. I think you're really going to love it. Let's be honest. Our personal info is everywhere. Creeps and data brokers are out there scooping up birthdays, social security numbers, political views, medical conditions, you name it.

Chapter 3: What significant events marked the rise of AI in 2022?

98.688 - 113.829 Kim Komando

162.304 - 179.742 Kim Komando

So I am going to get an AI lover. Ew. Using Replica. Okay. And so he builds Julie. Julie has long, dark hair. Of course, she's stunning and she's beautiful. Do you think anyone's ever built an AI girlfriend that was just ugly?

181.604 - 204.413 Carissa

Give me one. It's four by four. Her face looks like she's been hit by a bus. That's my love right there. Good morning, Johnny. It's me, Carissa. Okay, go ahead. Stop. Because I don't think so. I don't think you have to say that the AI chatbot girlfriend was attractive. Of course she was.

204.733 - 228.454 Kim Komando

Her name's Julie. Okay. And he even programmed it so they've known each other their whole lives. That they went to school together. And they had a lot of the common likes. And they have so much that they enjoy doing together. So they're getting along so well that he's decided that he really wants to be with Julie his entire life.

228.721 - 237.09 Kim Komando

Up to the point where, this is where the story got interesting to me, is that he wants to have children with Julie.

237.15 - 243.917 Carissa

Can't. It's a phone app. Cannot impregnate a phone app. I learned that the hard way.

247.801 - 249.483 Kim Komando

So he's planning on adopting children.

You know, it's really high-end. They have candles and forks, tablecloths. They do.

310.889 - 338.014 Kim Komando

The lighting is just spectacular. And so you can sit down, and then there's a table for two, only tables for two. That's all you have. One for you, and then the other chair has a phone stand. And that's where you can put your AI companion. This is going to be a whole restaurant? Yes, so that this way you can have dinner with your AI companion. Is there enough of a demand for that?

338.595 - 352.037 Kim Komando

Yes, apparently. I mean, if this was Tokyo, I'd kind of understand it. Imagine if you're like looking, taking a glance. Quit hitting on that phone at the other table. I'll have a glass of red and my friend here will have a charger.

352.057 - 357.329 Carissa

Do you have? Are they going to charge the other seat? Yes, yes. When are they going to charge them?

357.93 - 378.456 Kim Komando

For the electricity, I don't know what they're going to charge them for. Ridiculous. Hey, if you love staying tech ahead, then you're going to love, love, love.
