Summary
We talk about how nobody gets along a lot on this show. Too much, some would say. But it is a real problem. Kraig from Braver Angels knows this. That's why his organization gets people together from both sides to have conversations. And yes, it's very sad that simply getting people to talk and not immediately throw a hissy fit is something that requires an organization to achieve, but that's America right now.
On the show:
- Andy
- Kristyn Burtt
- Brittany Hagan
- Mike Bryant
- Kraig Finwall
Topics covered:
- AI-generated products
- Various docu-series and biopics
- Braver Angels
- Conversations across party lines

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Tom Bernard podcast without Tom, but with me, Andy Brandt Bernard, and... |
| 0:12.0 | Kristen Bert. |
| 0:13.2 | Just us for now. I think Mike Bryant's going to be popping in eventually, but he's at like a convention in Atlanta, I think he said. |
| 0:20.0 | So he's a busy man, as usual. |
| 0:23.7 | But the good news is, well, we have two bits of good news, |

| 0:34.2 | Member FDIC equal housing lender. |
| 0:36.8 | And the second is that we both, by happenstance, |
| 0:40.4 | have seen the same Instagram video, or a woman is at Marshall's, and she's going through |
| 0:46.9 | all their Christmas stuff and pointing out how much of it has AI generated art on it, which |
| 0:53.7 | isn't awful by itself. |
| 0:56.5 | I mean, you know, AI art is still art, but the thing is she can tell because it's bad. |
| 1:04.1 | There's inconsistencies, like Santa's got five fingers in one of them, like five like fingers, not including the thumb. |
| 1:14.3 | Candy canes have like mismatched stripes and like the gingerbread houses are asymmetrical and stuff like that. |
| 1:21.1 | And it really is just like, you know, if it looked good, I wouldn't really have that much of a problem with them using at least some AI art to a degree. |
| 1:31.7 | But it just goes to show that they're having these things generated and not even looking at them before they start printing them on these products. |
| 1:40.9 | Yeah, it's, I saw a similar video on TikTok and a woman went to a craft fair. |
| 1:47.2 | A craft fair. |
| 1:48.1 | Oh, yeah, that's not acceptable. |
| 1:50.7 | Yeah, and they said a majority of it was also AI generated similar to what you're talking about with that Marshall's video. |
