MSP299. Weird Science: Everything’s AI

After last week’s existential episode about Google’s NotebookLM and its instant podcast creation tool, Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage are still feeling a little obsolete.

This week they dive into the deeper implications of AI’s growing presence in our lives: and wonder whether everything is AI now? They explore AI’s growing creep into every aspect of science and technology.

New research suggests AI influences our memories and alters our perception as well as our trust in what we see and hear. A recent study shows how susceptible people are to manipulated images and videos—false realities conjured by AI tools.

Could AI change how we remember things, or even alter our sense of truth? And finally, a peek into whether our phones are really listening to us, with some surprising findings about your favorite AI assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant.
