Episode notes

I think it's inevitable that some group of creators is going to use chat GPT to write a book. Now, again, it depends how good those books end up being in terms of whether picked up by publishers. But if you are a publisher, you are faced with this question: will we publish AI written books? I think it's going to be increasingly hard for them to even be able to tell whether they were written with AI.

ChatGPT broke records in adoption, hitting 100m monthly active users in a matter of months... faster than any other web platform prior. Even faster than TikTok!

But with fast adoption comes equally swift resistance, surfacing questions around how this technology is changing the wider world. Should AI models be allowed in schools? How about the courtroom? Do stock image photographers have a fighting chance?

In this episode, Cal and Steph step into the shoes of many people tackling these difficult questions right now. From the middle school teacher to the college admissions officer, to the owners of a stock image sites, or even the head of the Bar Association... how would you respond? What questions would you be asking?

Listen in to hear Cal and Steph's takes.
