Sally Kohn: I would love for AI to be like, Hey, but listen, we know that you want to lose 10 pounds, but like it's because you're eating like four fig bars a day and like eight string cheeses. You've got to like just stop that. She says there's this handshake between like trust and safety and all this stuff. "I think we kind of moved past them pretty quickly," she says about hallucinations in the natural language side of things. But when it does like things that are like not wanted by the model designers, they're called hallucinations.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Travis Neilson about his work at Google, YouTube music, and where AI is at now, and where it’s headed in the future.
