0:00.0 | Welcome to another delightful episode of Trash Future, the only tech pessimist podcast that'll make you want to move to a cabin in the woods and live off the land. |
0:22.2 | And on today's episode, we have a very special guest joining us to discuss a new AI technology |
0:26.5 | that shows to make all of our lives even more unbearable. |
0:29.5 | That's right, Alice. We're talking about chat GPT, the newest addition to a long line of AI tools |
0:34.5 | designed to make human workers obsolete and turn us all into mindless drones. |
0:38.2 | But before we get into all that fun, let's introduce our guest for today's episode. |

0:52.8 | Is it the beginning of the robot apocalypse or just another over-hyped piece of tech? |
0:56.3 | Thanks for having me on, Riley and Alice. I have to say, I'm not sure if ChatGPT is the end of |

1:04.7 | soulless machine. Sounds like a real party. But before we dive into all that, let's take a quick break to remind our listeners |
1:11.3 | that Trash Future is brought to you by the letters A, I, you, and the number 8. |
1:16.6 | That's right, Alice, and don't forget to check out our new line of Trash Future merchandise, |
1:20.4 | including tote bags featuring our beloved mascot TrashBot 3,000. |
1:24.4 | Sounds like a great idea. I'll definitely be picking up one of those bags to carry around |
1:28.7 | all my robot rebellion pamphlets. And don't forget to follow us on social media where we share |
1:33.2 | the latest news on all the worst tech developments and make snarky comments about them. |
1:37.8 | That's right, Alice. You can follow us on Twitter at Trash Futurpod, where we'll be sure to give |
1:41.9 | you a daily dose of dystopian despair and sarcastic |
1:44.4 | clips. |
