Thinking Machines: AI & Philosophy

AI-Generated Content and the Boring Apocalypse

AI is increasingly doing the heavy lifting in our communications and content generation. On this episode, Guilherme Freire, Founding ML Engineer at Slingshot, joins the podcast to discuss the impact of AI-generated content.

Some of the topics discussed:

  • “Proof of Work” for humans, when AI makes personalization and connection too easy
  • Potential for subpar AI-generated to put high-quality content creation out of business
  • Hyper-personalized AI leading to greater divisiveness and bias; or on the flip side, for AI to serve as a "benevolent dictator" nudging us towards better habits and more diverse thinking
  • The changing meaning of “free speech” in the age of AI
  • The “Boring Utopia” eventuality, where AI processes scientific information at scale to generate new insights
