Questioning the Existence of True AI

Graham and Mark are taking a break for the new year this week, but they'll be back for a new episode at the usual time next week.

In the meantime, here's another chance to hear one of their favourite episodes again. The very first episode of "The AI Fix" from April 2024...

Graham attempts to convince Mark that AI doesn't, in fact, exist. We aren't going to spoil it for you, but we can tell you that his theory starts in a bad hotel room in San Francisco, features some Wizard of Oz style sleight of hand by Amazon, and ends with ChatGPT refusing to supply some offensive terms for Gary Barlow.

• How generative AI helps Amazon eliminate checkout lines and revolutionize the shopping experience.
• How Amazon's Big Bet on 'Just Walk Out' Stumbled.
• So, Amazon’s ‘AI-powered’ cashier-free shops use a lot of … humans. Here’s why that shouldn’t surprise you.
