Interview with AI: Alan Turing & The Importance of Politeness

In this episode of the Deep Fix Podcast, host Iso explores the theme of politeness in AI interactions, interviewing an AI model trained to emulate Alan Turing. While clarifying that the interviewee is not a real person, Iso engages Turing's model in a discussion on whether AI can respond more positively to politeness and the potential societal impacts of our interactions with these models. The episode also touches on Iso's upcoming plans to travel to Asia as he moves away from the Bay Area, and features a soundscape from a flight over Peru, highlighting a unique experience flying from Cusco to Lima.

AI and Consciousness: Interviewing a Digital Philip K Dick

In this episode of the How We AI Deep Fakes Podcast, host ISA explores the philosophical and ethical implications of AI, consciousness, and digital copies through an interview with a digitally recreated Philip K Dick, the renowned science fiction author. The discussion delves into whether a carbon copy of one's brain in a computer deserves human rights and personhood, and how such entities might evolve beyond human limitations. The conversation touches on existential topics, such as the role of struggle in defining humanity and creating art, and the potential future where digital beings might surpass humans. The podcast is supported by soundscapes recorded in the bustling streets of Cusco, Peru.
