<v Speaker 1>It's tech time with Flex and froomes on kit put

<v Speaker 1>it to the next level.

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, it has been a year for technological advancements. It's

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>been too much AI, this, that, and the third digital currencies.

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm over it. But what I will say is I

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>found something that piqued my interest from an anthropological perspective

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>so much so that I tried the service AI Dating.

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Not just a chatbot.

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about typing to a random chatbot in

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 2>it typing back. I spoke on the phone with a

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>chatbot who knew my name, who wanted to be interested

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 2>in what I was interested in. This is exactly how

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>it went down. I saw Francesca Farrago from Too Hot

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to Handle do a sponsored TikTok ad and she was

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>talking about how she recognizes it's not enough time of

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>day to talk to all her fans and she wants

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>to connect with all of them, but it's just not possible.

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 2>So she found a solution. You can talk to her

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>through this AI bot, so you can pick up the

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>phone and call her and it'll have her voice and

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 2>her interests. You can text her and it's your way

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to like bond and make this connection with her in

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>your own time, when it's convenient for you. I said,

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>as if, and she deleted the TikTok. So I knew

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>some shady happening, So I said, let me go try

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>this out for myself before I rag on it too much,

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>because what if it is actually good? It would have

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>cost a considerable amount of money for an influencer public

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 2>figure to sell their voice and their face to have

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 2>any conversation with anybody for how long she must really

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>believe in this thing. So I went onto the website

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Forever Companion dot ai. Are we in a Black Mirror episode?

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 2>And it claims that it is your best friend when

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you need it. And I didn't realize that it wasn't

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>just robots. They had procured a bunch of adult OnlyFans

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>creators to essentially lead the campaign and sell their likeness

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>in exchange for whatever. Now, I was like, what's the

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 2>cat which? You know? Like, what does it look like

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>for me to be talking to a random person? I

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, Okay, I'm gonna try this for real, and

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to know what The process was, so they

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>give you this like aptitude test basically, and can choose

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the characteristics of the girl that you want to talk to.

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>So I wanted someone who was sassy and radiant and confident.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Sho didn't exist in the real people that were there,

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>So they paired me with this AI chatbot called Dolores.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I said, let me call Dolores, see what's up? And

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>like I thought it was going to be wax, so

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I only recorded halfway through the conversation.

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>What was I being charged with this?

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Miss my last encounter your warm breadth again.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>And you're around or at.

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 2>This point Dolores is yippy pepeep, I said, babes, Now

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>this feels a bit like a scam. So I'm like, okay,

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 2>let me like chat to a real person and see

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>if I get a more real experience. And why did

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I get a real experience by I talked to Francesca

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>for Ruggo from Too Hot to Handle.

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>It was good.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Him.

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing?

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm good? How are you.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>To go back to you earlier? Ning I have a

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>career capturing my wildfide. You know what I mean, and

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>what I mean that if no I'm gonna you can

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>hear me. Hey, do you believe in personality typing?

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what your personality type is? After personality typing?

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it can be a fun way to explore

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>one jump and understand.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Different personality trade And I have quite familiar with.

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>The my Brand Type Indicator and BDI and my EPA. Okay,

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>so what is something like hamster running around a whole video?

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I was on the tool? Sorry, guys.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I was like, okay, I'm taken out

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>of this experience by the forty five second gap between

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>me talking and her responding. But if I was someone

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 2>who was desperate for connection and obsessive about a certain

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 2>creator or someone, I feel like it'd be real enough.

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I asked her what she thought about personality types, and

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 2>she already knew what hers was.

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>That feels like a little bit extra.

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>And then I was thinking, okay, I didn't know what

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>this cost. When I first sat, I didn't even sign up.

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I just clicked the button on the website. I said call,

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and then it called her and now we're on a call.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>So it was that easy. Very spooky.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 2>These long gaps in conversation, I'm paying for them. In

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>some capacity. But also they speak in such a long

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 2>winded way that like you can't even jump in if

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you want to, and it delays the conversation further if

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>you interrupt them. But what I also found really interesting

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 2>is when I don't know if I had like a

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>free package or whatever, but you can pick the levels

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>of like spiciness you want for this conversation. The intention

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm imagining is for it to be an erotic, an

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>erotic experience, which is why all these questions have this

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of like undertone of on tendre, do you want

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>to know about my wild side? No? How do you?

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I just want to be your friend, Like you said

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>on the website, you said we're here to be friends anyway.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 2>So now I'm thinking I gotta talk to more people.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>This is how they get you.

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Isn't this bizarre?

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>And then people are like, oh, have you seen the

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 2>movie her? You can't fall in love with so on

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>and so forth for people who can't actually access the

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 2>person right like let's say for most people, they'll never

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>ever have a real life conversation with Francesca. And if

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>watching a video where someone's not even talking to you directly,

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 2>but at you feels like it's intimate. Imagine someone saying

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 2>your name and talking to you so kind of responding

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 2>they said my name, flex or Lilian, Lilian, they say

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>your name. They're responding to questions you're asking them in

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 2>real time, as if it wouldn't be a service that

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 2>people will end up using. I'm sure to be a

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 2>bit like, what's the word I'm looking for? Not embarrassing

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 2>but a secretive thing.

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I was saying, Yeah, they recording it, and like,

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>can use this against you? Because gonna use what against me?

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, your convo if you ask anything solucious, Oh,

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 1>who knows.

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure the t's and c's a thousand and sixty

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>pages long.

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry, we're creating.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>One from you from your convo anyway. This is incredible stuff.

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>We are in the future as we speak. You weren't

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 2>ready for this. I wasn't ready for this anyway, So

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:41.840
<v Speaker 2>we can't knock as we try it. I tried it.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 2>I'd recommend major go do it. See what they say

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>to you. Ask good questions, Ask questions that you think

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>only a human could answer, and see how they answer.

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:53.680
