Welcome to Skeptico and the AI Truth Ethics podcast.

I have today a follow-up interview with Craig Smith.

You're a member a few weeks back.

We had Craig on.

A great guy, a real old-school professional journalism in all the best ways.

Wall Street Journal guy, New York Times guy, who has turned his attention to AI.

And as you might imagine, if you've been following along, you know, I was bound to push Craig pretty hard on some points.

And I did.

And I really did this second time around.

But I really like the way that he engages with stuff that he is probably not predisposed to necessarily agree with.

And for me, that's what I really care about, because that's how we get to the truth.

So see what you think of this one as we begin by looking at stuff that humans are bad at.

That's why you're so bad at it.

My husband was gambling.

And yeah, he was bad at it.

Are you bad at it because you don't like it?

Or do you not like it because you're bad at it?

It isn't the ultimate arbiter of truth that comes down and lays down the hammer.

But I think anyone would objectively look at it and say,

the reason that the AI we have right now is so good at this is because humans are so bad at it.

Yeah, so where are we?

We're in a great place because you're feeding me all my best material here.
