nothing I hate more than... Everything. Yep! Uh, no, I don't hate everything. I, there are things I like,

but the thing I hate probably most in the world right now is AI.

I really hate AI.

I actually, I hate it down in the deepest depths of my soul.

I hate AI.

And because I hate, of course, my producers had this great idea that because I hate it,

we should do a video based all around me engaging with this thing that I hate.

What I've been informed by McKenna is that there is, you know, with this proliferation of

AI technology, all of it is awful, all of it is from the pit of hell.

There is a certain kind of AI called Character AI, and so you can engage with an AI, an artificial intelligence,

that's pretending to be some other, like, public figure. And so I'm told that on this site,

there are, I guess, multiple versions of me. There is a Matt Walsh AI.

What the hell he I did not consent to this. I don't approve of it. No one asked for my input.

Whoever made this AI never called me up and said, hey, we're making an AI version of you.

What do you think about that? Because if they had, I would say, don't do that. I don't want that.

I don't want to be in it. Am I allowed to not be that? Can I can I say no to that? That's the thing you don't get this AI takes away. It just steals It's total it's plagiarism. It can steal your likeness, steal your voice. You have no say in it whatsoever. It's actually a big problem. So today with this bit I guess we're going to be like promoting this thing that I find to be highly ethically problematic.

And so this one here, of all the Matt Walsh options, there's been 170,000 conversations with this AI.

I think that's what that means.

And the bio says, I'm Matt Walsh, an American right-wing political commentator and author.

So then we call it and I guess I talk to it. This is creepy. I don't like this at all.
