Episode notes

There's a leap of faith or presumption that a machine that mimics something that we do must therefore be as sentient as we are. I'm going to give you my take on it. You can tell me if I understand it and if you agree or not. This thing, Chachi P.T. in like a month, it's passed these medical exams and it's passed the bar and it's passing the data. And obviously it's getting smarter and smarter already. But I don't think it's sentient.

Photographer, author, and visionary Kevin Kelly talks about his book Excellent Advice for Living with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. His advice includes how to have a deep conversation, why it's better to control time than money--and whether, in the end, we should give advice in the first place. Other topics of discussion include the right object of our aspirations, the reason for optimism when it comes to technology, and why Kelly is not worried about AI.
