Speaker 1: 0:00

Hey, welcome back to the Mindful Bytes podcast. Today we're going to talk about a revisit of phantom vibrations.

Speaker 3: 0:06

Is social media in an election year driving you crazy?

Speaker 1: 0:10

And I'm going to talk about seven business problems solved using AI and AI concerns on the rise for Meta and Apple. Ai is crazy All right, so let's go ahead and introduce you to the podcast panel.

Speaker 4: 0:26

I'm Ashton, your Gen Z tech fanatic.

Speaker 3: 0:28

I'm Olivia, your social media obsessed, millennial.

Speaker 2: 0:32

And I'm Shauna, I'm a Xenial and I'm a resistant rhinoceros.

Speaker 1: 0:38

A resistant rhinoceros, I know Well, get ready for this. Get ready for this because, since this episode we're going to be talking about AI, I use AI to help me with my introduction. So I am your Gen X business leader who's seen it all, from the rise of the internet to the fall of the fax machine, all right. So let's see if Shauna cannot resist and go ahead and kick us off for this episode.

Speaker 2: 1:02

Okay, I will do that. So this is just a little update. You know, we talked in a previous episode about phantom vibrations, you might remember that, and okay. So Brian made me get a new phone. This is kind of where part of the resistance comes in, because I will fight for as long as possible to not get a new phone. I don't see the point. I don't want to spend the money. I already know how to use this phone, so I don't want to move all my contacts, like the whole thing. It's a nightmare, you know. But Brian made me and he brought me home this pretty pink phone and I love it. Okay, but it moves on its own, I'm not kidding. Okay. So now I'm starting to wonder maybe they're not phantom vibrations. I wanted to put this challenge out to the world. Will someone look into the code and find out if Apple has put it in our phones to vibrate when it doesn't have a need to vibrate? I am pretty sure that it does, because this phone, this particular phone, which one is it, brian?

Speaker 1: 2:09

It's the 15.

Speaker 2: 2:11

Okay, it's 15. The little one right Like it's the teeny, tiny little 15, and that's its technical name. We were sitting at a restaurant. It was sitting on the table and it literally flew off the table and hit the pole behind us and cracked my brand new screen.

Speaker 1: 2:27

Well, let's, let's go ahead and really give the full. Yeah, let's give the full story here, Olivia we brought it home.

Speaker 1: 2:33

We brought it home and it fell off the table a couple of times and she, she cracked the screen. And then we bought a phone protector, a screen protector Like let's go ahead and buy a screen protector protector so that way it doesn't crack anymore. And we literally were going out for our anniversary dinner and I said let's go and put this on, just in case it came in that day. We're at the restaurant and as soon as we're sitting there eating, that thing flew off the table and busted the whole screen protector we just put on. So yes, she's right.

Speaker 2: 3:01

I mean, if you're real into clarity, that first day I got it it didn't crack the screen, it scratched it. Remember.

Speaker 1: 3:07

Scratched it. Yes, oh yeah, that's right, it's a big scratch.

Speaker 4: 3:10

It's an incredibly deep scratch.

Speaker 1: 3:12

Yeah. And mine has done the same thing. I've got the 15 Pro Max and it was sliding off things like a couple of times. I'm like what in the world? So finally I was like I got to buy a case for it. It hasn't slidden off anymore.

Speaker 3: 3:26

But that is I don't know. I have the 15. Mine doesn't do that, I think you guys need to write a scary movie because you have haunted iPhones.

Speaker 2: 3:37

Yes, that's probably true. Either that or, like I said, Apple has put some hidden code to make our phones vibrate. You know, randomly that does make sense.

Speaker 4: 3:47

I have an Android and I don't have to deal with any of these issues.

Speaker 3: 3:51

You have a whole other set of issues with the Android.

Speaker 1: 3:56

Exactly. Yeah, he's brought some of those things to me too. I'm like you know you wouldn't have that problem if you had an iPhone. I'm going to take that stab every time I can. Olivia, is your phone in a case?

Speaker 3: 4:09

Yeah, it's in a case and I have a screen protector, but it's never done that before. But I think there could be something to what Shauna says, like if you haven't been on your phone in a while or something and they do something to make you get back on that thing. Yeah, so maybe the problem is I'm on my phone all the time so I'm not able to see it slide away they don't have to buzz you yeah, exactly like we can take her off the buzz list we don't need.

Speaker 1: 4:38

We don't need to reach out to olivia yeah, you never hit the time limit.

Speaker 2: 4:42

Yeah, nope, she's back again. All right, it's no big deal.

Speaker 1: 4:45

Yeah they're like as long as she's yeah. Nope, she's back again. All right, it's no big deal. Yeah, they're like as long as she's got TikTok she's going to be on the phone so we're good. True, that is very true. Let's go ahead and transition over to Olivia. Olivia, let's talk about social media during this election year.

Speaker 3: 4:59

Do you feel like your news feeds are filled with a ton of political posts and are you tired of seeing them?

Speaker 2: 5:07

Yes and yes.

Speaker 1: 5:08

Well, okay, first, I would love to hear what people think that's listening to the podcast. Let us know by clicking that text On my side. I didn't even know we're in a political year right now. No, I'm totally joking. Yes, I can't stand it.

Speaker 4: 5:22

It's pretty minimal, it hasn't been too much, but what platforms are you on too? Reddit, instagram, little bit of Facebook.

Speaker 1: 5:31

I see it everywhere. Yeah, I see it everywhere.

Speaker 3: 5:34

It's honestly also annoying that I feel like it's really started to spill in this election year to LinkedIn, really started to spill in this election year to LinkedIn. I'm like I thought that was the one platform that we were safe from all of this stuff, right, but anyways, we know that there have been two huge events and this is not a political podcast, so that's not what we're talking about but there were two very big events that affected both parties in the country, and what got me thinking about this was, again, people were going crazy in my newsfeed, but also some people and brands that I was not expecting to post a certain way did, and so I was like taken aback by like wow, I did not know you were going to have a very like hard stance that way.

Speaker 2: 6:37

Olivia, is this the first year that you've noticed brands making kind of political uh stands in social media?

Speaker 3: 6:46

Um, I feel like in 2020, it was even worse, um, with people like trying to take a stand, um, but from what I've seen and my research and what I've gathered, um, people are kind of like tired of it and I think it was more. I think more brands and particular people, artists, whatever it may be they feel more confident to say things that they would not have necessarily said, you know, things that they would not have necessarily said, you know, even five years ago, um, because it just wasn't like, I guess, as socially accepted. But I feel like it, it it has become that way. You can read all the tips about if you're a business and should you be taking a stance or whatever it may be. Um, I wrote about it on killerbmarketingcom so you could click the link below. But just one quick fact only 25% of people are even expecting anyone to have any sort of stance. So that's 75% of your followers, your customers, that don't. They just want your product, right? They don't want to know your political stance, I guess, behind the scenes.

Speaker 4: 8:17

So, yeah, that's what I was going to ask was does it seem like people are just kind of fine with you having that opinion, or does it start up a lot of engagement within the posts? Or what's the benefit and the downside to a brand sharing their political belief?

Speaker 3: 8:36

So, yeah, I mean the benefit you. That is going to get you some quick engagement. But, like we always talk about, is it the right type of engagement that you want? Is it the right type of audience that you want? No, we're all about building community. So why would we want to create a community that is divisive, when we're already divisive enough? So we want to build, you know, a positive community. We want to give people a break from all of that noise and negativity. So, um, just my personal opinion is there's really really no reason to do that, Unless, obviously, if you are a candidate or something like that. But other than that, I don't see the benefits. Do you see any benefits, Brian or Shauna?

Speaker 1: 9:34

No, I think that I'm agreeing with you on that. You know there's going to be, hopefully, that people that are seeing this in their feeds are aware of this as well. There are going to be brands and people that are going to put those posts out there just because they want to get your reaction.

Speaker 3: 9:52

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 9:53

They want to get that engagement, even if it's bad. Actually, some of them that fuels them, like they want us to do that, like you've got so many things that that could really use your energy and your attention for the day. Don't give it to things like that, because you're just feeding it. Just I guess let's go ahead and go back to Shauna's description of herself Resist it, resist it. You don't need to do that. If you're scrolling Facebook and you see it and you're like, oh, I don't even just resist responding, and just you know, unfollow them. That's one thing they don't want you to do. They want you to react. Just unfollow them, you know. Just remove it from your feed. Don't fall into that trap. Use your energy and the time that you have today on something more more effective, more positive and more life giving.

Speaker 2: 10:36

So yeah, yeah, Life is stressful enough Like. Don't give your energy and your passion and you know add to your stress by letting Facebook or whatever, get you all worked up.

Speaker 4: 10:48

Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2: 10:48

I don't think anyone's ever changed anyone's mind by fighting on Facebook.

Speaker 1: 10:52

That's actually a that's actually a good question, like I would love, like anybody, let us know, you know, since the text has it ever changed your mind? These kinds of posts on social media, has it ever changed your mind? Kind of posts on social media, has it ever changed your mind? Let us know that and the feedback by clicking that text button and send us a message oh yeah, I would love to know that as well yeah, I would encourage everybody to stick with the old dinosaur way if we go back to that stick a yard sign in your yard.

Speaker 1: 11:18

Don't think we don't need to see it all on facebook, not at my neighborhood, the hoa says nope, think about yard.

Speaker 3: 11:22

We don't need to see it all on Facebook, not at my neighborhood. The HOA says no.

Speaker 1: 11:23

Think about it. If you don't want to see it, why would you? Yeah, why even respond to it? You're just feeding that, so don't feed it. Don't feed it.

Speaker 3: 11:29

Yeah, Don't feed the feed. Brian says.

Speaker 1: 11:32

Yeah, that's right. Don't feed the feed. Feed the people, and the people don't want that. Pay attention to it. But, yeah, definitely go check out Olivia's blog on the Killer Bee Marketing website. There's a link to it in the show notes, so, all right, so I know this is a little bit delayed, but we're finally here. We're finally here.

Speaker 1: 11:48

I'm going to talk about the Entrepreneur Magazine article that I was reading and basically what we're going to talk about, and I can't wait to hear what your guys' thoughts are, and we would love for you to hear any of our listeners' thoughts too. As I go through this, I'm going to go through seven business problems that have been solved using AI. That's where I'm going to start Now. I know there might be some people tuned in. That's like AI. I don't know. I don't trust it, and we're going to get to that too, because obviously, here at Killer Bee, we're supportive of AI. We've used it to help us in a lot of ways. We talked about that in an earlier episode, but there's also concerns that we have to be aware of, and we're going to talk about that after we talk about these seven problems. So let's go ahead and first start off with these seven business problems that were solved, and I'm going to put a link to the Entrepreneur Magazine article because there's a lot to read there and I'm definitely not going to be able to go through it all, but I want to definitely highlight these seven problems that they brought up. So the first problem, which I thought this was a very good use of AI I'd never thought of it.

Speaker 1: 12:53

But recruiting there was a company that used it for recruiting. Actually, they said they overhauled their recruiting process using OpenAI's ChatG GPT, which there's a lot of power behind that, and here's what they did they made job postings more searchable and appealing. And think about this as I'm going through these things, Think about how this might apply to the work that you're in. The other thing that they did is they used it to update their interview questions. Thing that they did is they used it to update their interview questions. Now I know Olivia and Shauna and Ashton like I've literally done that even for onboard questions for clients. So when I had a meeting scheduled, I would use AI to help. I would share what questions I had and then asked it to help fill any gaps if there was any other questions that maybe I wasn't thinking of, and it would do that. So this company used it to help with their interview questions.

Speaker 1: 13:43

Now they also it says that they used a proprietary AI tool which I thought this was very interesting to find external candidates that were similar to their top employees' characteristics. I'm like whoa, that's pretty advanced. Now, get this, like you, definitely, definitely. If you find these things interesting and you find that these these are just basic problems that they listed that companies were solving, go read this article Again. The links in the in the description of the show notes here. Here's here's get this. This is their final report afterwards. Before, when they did it the old way, they had around 111 applicants that would fill it out. Five referred for interviews. They said afterwards now they received 250 applicants and they had 118 referred for interviews instead of five, and they actually hired five and have 14 more put back in a pipeline in case they need to bring somebody else in. So that's pretty amazing to hear how they're using AI for recruiting. I thought that was really cool.

Speaker 3: 14:49

I would have never thought to use AI for something like that, so I think that's really cool.

Speaker 4: 14:57

It goes back a few weeks to what you were just saying. Ai isn't meant to replace humans. It's meant to improve our work. We. Ai isn't meant to replace humans. It's meant to improve our work. We use it as a tool to improve that. And that's a really good example of it doing that.

Speaker 1: 15:08

Yeah, improve processes and people. Can we use it for processes and people?

Speaker 2: 15:12

And piggybacking on what Ashton said, it wasn't AI's idea to use the personality profiles Somebody thought of that and then use that tool to make that streamline. So that was really smart because it sounds like they got a lot more quality applicants that they then moved on in the process. That's a pretty big deal.

Speaker 1: 15:34

All right. So the other one was another company used it to help improve their customer service. Now, I thought this was pretty cool We've actually touched on this a little bit but this company used it for their busy season, like a holiday event. I can't remember what the company did. It was kind of like think of like a florist company where, during a certain holiday, you might have a lot of people buying flowers and stuff like that, so a lot of people are coming in.

Speaker 1: 16:00

Well, this company, during a busy season, they would normally have to hire in seasonal help. They have to bring in seasonal help, but this time they use Zendesk. Zendesk has an AI service now and the bad thing about seasonal is, they said you know, they have to bring people in, try to train them, and they wouldn't really be up to the knowledge to be able to respond to candidates and stuff or issues that's going on to their customers. So, using this Zendesk AI, they're really able to fine tune it and what they did. We've mentioned this before about using AI like AI chatbots and creating what they call a hybrid bot, where it's using AI and then at a certain point, if it needs to, it actually hands it over to a real person. So that's what they were doing, and they said now the customer is engaged with a chatbot first and that chatbot will hand off bigger issues to an actual agent and get this. They said that there was a 39% reduction in tickets because of this, so the AI had reduced their tickets that went to live agents by 39%.

Speaker 2: 17:04

I think if you look at it from a bigger picture sort of view, you could see how a company could do so much better with customer service by putting something like this in place, that then their business could grow and then they could hire more full-time people you know to invest in as opposed to seasonal work, you know. So I could see it being good for a business overall, even though in the beginning it might take some work away. You know, in the long term, if they really, you know, harness the power of that, it could end up giving a lot more people jobs giving a lot more people jobs.

Speaker 3: 17:40

Yeah, I was just going to say I know Meta is investing in a lot of AI, but their customer service is the pit, so maybe they need to be using it in a different way.

Speaker 1: 17:56

Yeah, I agree, you know we've talked about this. I think Olivia Yumi's talked about this, even with radio. You know, I know Meta, as I think Olivia Yumi's talked about this even with radio. You know, I know Meta. As we said, Meta's invested in AI. I think it's called Llama 2 or something like that or maybe I think there might be on Llama 3 now, but I know Shauna probably loves it because it's got the word llama in it. So it's not what you think. I love llamas, I want a llama.

Speaker 2: 18:20

Three llamas.

Speaker 1: 18:20

I want a llama, three llamas, that'd be great, but you know they were using, like their AI has a where you can actually connect a video of a person and it seems like that person's you know, talking, interacting with you. And one of the things that I had some radio stations ask me about was they're talking about. They want to create a more of a connection with their DJs. So some of their thoughts were we're going to send out, we're going to give a text number that goes to DJ themselves. Like, what do you think about that? We can give a text number where they can text the DJs. And I said, well, uh, how many listeners do you have? And like, well, we got like 250,000 listeners. Like, okay, imagine would you want someone to give 250,000 people your number to text you anytime during the day? And you're like, no, I'm like okay, and imagine doing that to a personality, like an on-air personality that is already probably wearing a lot of hats, got a lot of stuff they're trying to do.

Speaker 1: 19:10

So some of the suggestions that I gave them was come up with a hybrid AI chatbot solution. If you use a service like Llama, be thinking about that, where maybe you could create a video version AI of the DJ and be very open that this is AI and they're kind of handling the normal conversations until it gets to the point where they can actually hand it off to the DJ to get back with them and say, hey, they're going to get back with you in, like within the next 24 hours or, you know, or 48 hours, whatever is realistic. But don't put all that on top of one person, cause that is a lot. So another company said that they used it to improve inventory. Okay, I know some of us here probably have worked somewhere where we had to do inventory checks and stuff.

Speaker 2: 19:54

Anybody I have.

Speaker 1: 19:57

Yeah, did you love it.

Speaker 2: 19:59

No.

Speaker 1: 20:00

No, nobody likes. Inventory, nobody likes. I think that's usually when people want to try to take vacation, but companies are like no, it's inventory, nobody goes on vacation, it's the uh unless it's it's the, unless it.

Speaker 4: 20:10

Yep found that out Unless it's management. It's the Michael Scott meme of him having to do inventory. A perfect storm.

Speaker 2: 20:18

That's why I went on vacation. You were supposed to do it while I was gone.

Speaker 1: 20:22

What I love about this company they said that they used it to improve inventory by de-risking their buys. So they used AI to help them determine what they should buy, how much they should buy, what sizes. And then also it even provided a demand forecast, like, hey, these are items that might be more on demand with the season you're stepping into. They used a service I don't really know how to pronounce it. It's spelled S-I-N-G-U-L-I, so I'm going to guess it's Singoli that is an AI inventory management platform that they're using, so it might be something to check out. I thought that was pretty cool use. Another one is using it for engaging with customers. Now I wrote in here to see the magazine because I am not going to be able to go into all this because there's a lot here. So definitely check out this article. But I'm going to be able to go into all this because there's a lot here. So definitely check out this article. But I'm going to read this here because this is like.

Speaker 1: 21:21

When I read AI engages customers, I'm like, all right, I already had a thought. I thought this was going to be like another chatbot thing, but it's so much more so I got to put on my glasses, my Gen X glasses, so I can read this. It says after squash players. So I'm reading this from Entrepreneur's Magazine after squash players step off the courts, they have the same question that every athlete does. How did I do? Basically, what AI is doing is, when they step off, each player sends videos of their matches to the live sports AI app on their phone and then AI analyzes the recordings and calculates how many calories they burn, how many shots they hit and other data points. I mean it just goes on and on.

Speaker 1: 21:59

I'm like what the heck? So I did not expect that with engage with customers, but there's a lot there and it'd be too much for me to try to cover in this podcast. So if you're like that sounds interesting, go check it out. And I know that. I think, sean, I think you and me were looking at ChatGBT. They're bringing out a video edition of it where, when you click the little sound thing, it can actually look at you and you can say, hey, I'm getting ready for a presentation. What do you think? How do you think I look? And it actually suggests things for you to change and laughs and has like emotions. It is crazy.

Speaker 3: 22:28

AI is crazy.

Speaker 4: 22:30

So quick question when you were talking about that first bit, did you say that was tennis?

Speaker 2: 22:35

Squash, he said.

Speaker 4: 22:37

Squash. That's actually really interesting because there's an app that popped up on my Google Play and it is an app that records you while you play tennis and it calculates in what areas of the court you're strongest at, where your positioning needs to be improved um, your shots hit and stuff like that, and so when you're just talking about that that's what it was reminding me of it was called seven, six I like hearing all of this again.

Speaker 3: 23:07

Going back to ai not replacing people, but enhancing, like making better. Just with what you were talking about, what Ashton is talking about, I feel like this actually can make sports better, because not everyone can afford to have a personal coach like some really high athletes do. So this is allowing, you know, people that are interested in a sport to get personalized coaching that may not have the funds to do that, which makes better players overall, which makes fun, funner matches, games to watch, because more people are training and getting coached that may not have had the money to do that before.

Speaker 1: 23:57

That's such a good point. It's like leveling the playing field.

Speaker 3: 24:00

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2: 24:02

Not to mention the health benefits for people who might not ever want to get to the point of being professional, but I've given up on lots of sports because I just couldn't, you know, understand, I couldn't get the hang of it, I couldn't understand the rules or whatever. So, like you know, think of all the people that can, you know, actually fall in love with the sport when they can understand it better. And then the health benefits related to that.

Speaker 1: 24:26

Yeah, so another problem that it's actually helping businesses with is reducing coding time. Now, I know our developer Sami would probably love that I with is reducing coding time. Now, I know our developer Sami would probably love that. I know he's already been talking about some AI stuff, but a company, an email company, called Superhuman. You know they have AI that helps their customers with email, but now they're actually using AI to help streamline their team's workflow behind the scenes so, and they're using a service. You know ChatGPT has always got its mix in there, but they're using chat GPT and get hubs AI coding assistant.

Speaker 1: 24:56

I don't know nothing about that, but might be something to check out. Uh. Another thing is creating mock-ups. Uh, you're trying to create mock-ups of products and stuff on Photoshop, uh, illustrator. Uh, a lot of companies are now using mid journey, which mid journey is amazing. I use it a lot for creating images, but they're using Midjourney and Microsoft designers image creator tool to generate AI mockups. So, definitely check out this article.

Speaker 1: 25:22

The last thing that that they mentioned was making tedious tasks easier. I really like this one because I think this is something that we really need to be thinking about if we're going to implement AI into what we do. It's something that we talked about at Killer Bee. We're using AI to help take notes during our consulting sessions for our clients to take that off of their plate, and then we have a custom AI chatbot that they can go back and log in and reference and look up their past notes. So they said that this company is building tools that utilize AI to reduce friction. So I want to transition to AI concerns, because I know there's people listening that's probably got AI concerns and that's okay. I think it's good for us to have any new technology, to have concerns and be aware of things, and even for some of the things that has surfaced lately, it's brought things to my attention like, hey, we need to think about these things, to be aware of it. I'll start with meta. Yeah, meta AI. This came from the source, from social media today, so I'll make sure I post a link to this. You guys can check it out in the show notes.

Speaker 1: 26:31

So they had a setback in Europe and in Brazil due to scrutiny over how they're utilizing user data and its process. Now, that doesn't really come as a surprise, probably to a lot of people with meta. We've seen that in the past and again. This is just what they're reporting. It was first reported by a company called Axios A-X-I-O-U-S. I'll put a link to that as well so you can read up on it. But it says that meta is scaling back its AI push in Europe due to concerns about potential violations with the Europe's rules around data usage.

Speaker 1: 27:08

So they had an advocacy group it was NOYB and they called the Europe regulators to investigate Meta's recent policy changes and I want to read to you what the NOYB said. Here's what they said Meta is basically saying that it can use any data from any source for any purpose and make it available to anyone in the world, as long as it's done via AI technology. Meta doesn't say what it will use the data for, so it could either be a simple chatbot, extremely aggressive personalized advertising, or even a killer drone, which I know that's a big fear advertising or even a killer drone, which you know everybody that's, I know that's a big fear, you know, like Terminator thing.

Speaker 1: 27:49

It doesn't help that during the Joe Rogan show Elon was like oh yeah, that'd be crazy easy to do, and now that all got a lot worse. You know, knowing that they're going to use this, the human input, to feed these AIs. Where's the line drawn, like do they have the right to decide whether our content can be used or not? Should we be able to decide that? Should we have an option to be able to opt out, like? What are your guys' thoughts on that?

Speaker 4: 28:13

100%. We should be able to opt out. Actually, it should probably be an opt-in service. It probably shouldn't automatically opt you in. It should be that you opt in by yourself. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 28:25

That's a good point. I that you opt in by yourself. Yeah, that's a good point. I like that. It's an opt-in service, not an opt-out. I mean they made it do that for your email. If someone has filled out a form on your website, you can't automatically have it checked anymore. That was part of some of the changes in privacy. You can't automatically have it checked Like, hey, add me to your email. You have to leave it.

Speaker 3: 28:53

They have to in, not opt out because of that. So that's a really good point.

Speaker 1: 28:55

Ashton, I feel like Meta is trying to do the ask for forgiveness versus permission. I get that, I get that and I, I and that's the. You know I wasn't surprised. We've seen this stuff before, but I was surprised about Apple's intelligence feature. The source is tech crunch. This is TechCrunch. This is from their article. It says in July, Proof News reported that Apple used a data set called the Pile I've never heard of that, but anybody that knows data stuff probably has but it's called the Pile, which contains subtitles from hundreds of thousands of YouTube videos to train a family of models designed for an on-device processing, and many YouTube creators did not know that this was happening and did not give them consent.

Speaker 1: 29:36

Now Apple did later say that they released a statement saying that it didn't intend to use those models to power any of their AI features. But again it leads back to that question. These are big tech companies and we don't know what we don't know. And just because they say we're not using that doesn't mean you can just take that as like, okay, they're not using it, Like there has to be something put in place that, like Ashton, was saying that we have to opt in. Later on, there was a statement saying about adding to your content that it's not allowed to be scraped by AI. Is that something that can be put into place? And then, how is it regulated?

Speaker 2: 30:13

I feel like things are advancing so quickly that now everyone's just trying to keep up with it, Like, oh no, I mean look at all the data leaks and stuff like that.

Speaker 2: 30:23

It just feels like Pandora's box has opened and now everybody's like doing whatever they can to get ahead. And you know who? Who actually knows exactly what's happening? Probably nobody, because how are you going to keep track of all this stuff? But yeah, I mean, I think definitely regulations need to be put in place. But I mean, you know these companies who probably have people who are so far ahead of the American public in knowing what's happening and where we're headed, like I'm not sure if they can be controlled.

Speaker 2: 30:58

Because I mean laws you know the Senate hearings and stuff like that that Mark Zuckerberg was already a part of. I mean, you definitely got the sense like he's not telling us everything he knows. He knows how to get around the questions. So there do need to be regulations obviously. I'm just not sure how to put that kind of thing into place, how it can be done, but hopefully someone a lot smarter than me will figure it out.

Speaker 1: 31:23

I'm glad to see these articles are coming out to get attention about it. Like again, from the rise of the internet to the fall of the fax machine, the internet from what I remember like really started taking off, like in 1997, 1996, that area and for all this time, until GDPR compliance started coming out, it was like the wild west. There was no rules, and we're just now slowly starting to get rules for the internet. And now AI is right here, just going full force that we can't keep up with. I think it's something that we definitely got to be aware of, as you know, as even with what Elon brought up about the iPhones, you know, we know that updates coming out soon where AI is going to be on it, we don't know. We don't know, but I think we need to be aware of those things as well. So I would love to hear everybody else's thoughts as, listening to the podcast, what's your thoughts on all this? What's your concerns with AI? It's all right to have those concerns and being willing to talk about it and saying, well, what can we do about it? What can we try to do about it on our end? I mean, okay, we don't know if adding that in our terms on our website is going to do anything. But if it's not there, there's nothing we can fall back on. But if it is there, maybe it will be something, because Apple did say we don't allow AI training in the terms of use they called it. Apple said that it was like I think they were calling it like the license filtered or something like that. So maybe there's something that we need to at least put there in our terms and stuff to somehow safeguard us. I don't know Again, it's all so new, but it's good for us to be mindful about it and start talking about it now and try to figure out ways that we can prepare for it. There's another article that I'm not going to go into, but I will post it in the show notes for people to check out, because there's two major academic publishers now that have signed deals with AI and professors are outraged about it. I'm going to definitely post that in the notes for you guys and check it out.

Speaker 1: 33:09

The next episode that we drop, we're going to cover this product. I'm going to have Ashton to check this out. It's called the Plot Note the Plot Note and it's a. If you've ever wanted to be able to record a conversation. This is a really cool tool and it actually transcribes it using AI and stuff, so you can take notes. Uh, so we'll talk about that during our next episode. We'll highlight that and some other things that definitely are going to be coming up in social media, uh, in the dinosaur world and, I'm sure, other stuff in business. So you guys, everybody, thank you for tuning in. If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to click, follow and leave us a review.
