0:00.0 | Hey, it's Seth, and this is a Kimbo. |
0:10.3 | In this special two-part episode of a Kimbo, I want to explore how humanity, |
0:15.1 | industrialism, and artificial intelligence are in a dance, one that we hardly even notice. |
0:22.0 | We're coming to the end of mediocrity, at least when it comes to human labor. |
0:27.2 | Throughout this episode, I'll be asking chat GPT questions and then reading you the answers. |

1:40.3 | limited to solving basic mathematical equations, had metamorphosed into digital beings with the |
1:46.6 | capacity to learn, reason, and even communicate with us. The age of AI was not merely a step forward |
1:55.2 | in the realm of technology. It was a leap into the unknown. The rise of AI, like any great scientific |
2:03.2 | advancement, came with its own set of challenges and responsibilities. How were we to ensure that our |
