Episode notes

i wanted to share this episode with after meeting andy latrell, the psychologist behind the opinion science podcast. Up next, andy's episode about debater, the machine that can persuade human beings through debate. i reached out to him because he is an expert on persuasion, and more specifically, something i was working on for a long time.

This episode, featuring Andy Luttrell of the Opinion Science Podcast, is all about a machine, built by IBM, that can debate human beings on any issue, which leads to the question: is persuasion, with language, using arguments, and the ability to alter another person’s attitudes, beliefs, values, opinions, and behavior a uniquely human phenomenon, or could you be persuaded to change your mind by an artificial intelligence designed to do just that? If so, what does that say about opinions, our arguments, and in the end, our minds?
