Podcast: An interview with GPT-4o on The Future of Creativity and AI
We decided to interview GPT-4o in this week's episode because we've been so impressed by how well this new audio assistant can be. I edited out the many pauses and false starts in the AI's replies to make for smoother listening, but other than that, I kept the answers as they came.
We asked GPT about privacy, creativity, and the future of AI, as well as some fun "would you rather" questions at the end. We hope you enjoy this podcast. It's for sure the first time I've interviewed an AI machine, and I am almost certain it won't be the last, either!
Let us know what you think!
