1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Well and Woody podcast many Woodrow. BuzzFeed fired one hundred

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: and eighty employees. Eighty journalists were laid off, yes, to

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: be replaced by artificial intelligence to write its content.

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: So so no one at BuzzFeed actually write stuff now

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: it's all written by robots.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: A robot, A single robot does all of it.

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 3: Still, a Christmas.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 4: Party might be computer lonely.

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: It's very quiet, isn't it.

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: It's sad for the robot, isn't he. I mean, get him,

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: get him like one of those little robot vacuum cleaners.

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: I was saying, they're gonna have a jar with at

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: the end of the day.

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 4: Very true, surely, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 3: But so how many people are left at BuzzFeed If

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 3: you take out all.

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: There's just the CEO, I think, and then a robot. Right,

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 4: two people? Two people is miserable. Christmas faddy.

19
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you'd be assured of good canapes. I suppose

20
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: when you get there you're going to be.

21
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: Able to get into all the lobster rolls and whatnot.

22
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: But it is interesting.

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: Christmas party to one side. Yeah, they have I I

24
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: think that's terrifying in a lot of let's be honest,

25
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: a lot of us are hearing that, going shit, if.

26
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: They can rise, when next they can do my job?

27
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: We are like, I know, I am thinking that.

28
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: I know robot could do your job.

29
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: Well, let me put it in this way. So I

30
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: was reading about this. One of my favorite guy called

31
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: you Val Noah Harari wrote this book about this, right,

32
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: It's called twenty one Lessons for the twenty first Century,

33
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: and he said it's the common view of creative people

34
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: that AI will never touch their jobs.

35
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, rightly.

36
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he was like, okay, cool, Let's take musicians

37
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: for example. Right, So musicians are going, oh, AI can

38
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: never touch me, right. The way they've worked that they've

39
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: mapped out your hippo campus so well, right, that they

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: net which is part of your brain? Sure, right, that

41
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: they now know what sort of music makes you feel

42
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: certain ways?

43
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: Know this, Yes, they can map that. Software knows that.

44
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: And they're figuring that out.

45
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: They've already figured it out, right, So they know what

46
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: sort of music makes you feel certain ways.

47
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: Right, So think about you're a musician.

48
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: So these days you might walk in you go hey

49
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Alexa or hey Google or hey Siri or whatever it is.

50
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: You might go, hey, play me this and you have

51
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: to think of a band. You've got to think of

52
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: the artists that you want to listen to. Sure, Okay,

53
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: in the future, for all those creative musicians that are

54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: feeling very safe, you will be able to walk into

55
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: your home and go, hey, Alexa, I want to feel hopeful.

56
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Goodbye everyone that's writing uplifting songs.

57
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: But while will there some better it'll lack flap.

58
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 4: It willnail. No, it will nail.

59
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: It even with a vocal.

60
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: Yes, I heard Have you not heard those AI voices recently?

61
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: They're pitch perfect.

62
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: It perfect is boring, that's what you're saying.

63
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: Not when you're walking into the house and all of

64
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: a sudden you're walking on cloud nine. You just had

65
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: the worst day in the world and then you feel amazing.

66
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: It's map It's not just guessing the song doesn't have

67
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: a bad bit. It's just like you're feeling awesome. It's

68
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: like it knows which buttons to press in your brain

69
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: to release seratonin to make you feel better about yourself

70
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: through music.

71
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: I want that.

72
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: No, you don't, no, And then you give me.

73
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: A radio show that's funny, We're gone.

74
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, what else is it even funny?

75
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: We're already out of that. All right, So look, I

76
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: know what everyone's thinking. Gee will's you will? Have you

77
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 4: tried this thing out yet? Sure?

78
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: The answer is yes, yeah, okay. So the actual bot,

79
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: the AI that is BuzzFeed's going to use, is this

80
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,279
Speaker 1: thing called chat GPT.

81
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, okay.

82
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: That bot is accessible right now. Anybody can access it

83
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: on the internet. You can, you can write to it,

84
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: and you can ask it to do things for you.

85
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: And this is the one that writes articles on BuzzFeed.

86
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: Yes, right, okay, just to give you an idea, just

87
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: in the news. Then to try and demonstrate to you

88
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: the way this thing works. I asked it to write

89
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: a headline about you, headline about me about you? Ok

90
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: so for context, and by the way, I didn't give

91
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: it any info for context.

92
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: Recently we did a bit on air.

93
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: About the fact that you take a hip flask places

94
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: because you don't want to share your whiskey with your friends.

95
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, that's the truth.

96
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: Joy shocking. It obviously found that what have a listen,

97
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: Woody White Law whisks away the blues with a bit

98
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: of spirit a look at the trend of hip flasks.

99
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: What so I didn't.

100
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: Really make sense, but I found it, and it managed

101
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: to make your headlines like whisks away the blues, it's

102
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: got whiskey, it's got flask. Yeah, why because that, by

103
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: the way, it does that immediately. So you go give

104
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: me a headline about Woody White Lot finds you found

105
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: the bit wrote that that three seconds.

106
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: Got another one here? Yeah, this one not as good,

107
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: I said, not as good as that one.

108
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: I mean that was a little bit sloppy.

109
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: Give me a joke about Woody.

110
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, why did wood he turn down the offer

111
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 5: of ice cream because he's lactose intolerant and can't handle

112
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 5: the dairy.

113
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 4: That's just a truism.

114
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 2: That's that's why I can't have ice croll quite literal,

115
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: quite literal.

116
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: It's getting there.

117
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: So the other thing I asked it to do was

118
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I asked it to write a song about you, which

119
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: it can also do.

120
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, wrote wrote a song like wrote lyrics, I guess.

121
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's included a few things about you. Oh

122
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: my god, yes.

123
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: That it's found anything, No, no, just found this online?

124
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: Or yes, yes, stuff that we post obviously found you. Yeah,

125
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: got some of the words off captions and stuff. Yeah, okay,

126
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: so stuff in here about your bum.

127
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is which is breaking the internet. So it

128
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: makes sense that he found that.

129
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 4: The hip flask thing.

130
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: It's gone for again, and it's gone for rat legs

131
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: as well, or skinny legs.

132
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a guy.

133
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 5: His name is Woody, with a that's always ready, good

134
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: bottom and skinny legs. He traps with his loyal friend,

135
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 5: Woody Woody with his hip flask in hand. He's got style,

136
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: he's got class, he's got a good bottom, oh man,

137
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 5: skinny legs.

138
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: But he's got the moves.

139
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 5: It's always got the grooves.

140
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: Not bad actually, all four robots.

141
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: Do you reckon that this thing could do a better

142
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: poem than you think? You're a very good.

143
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 5: There we go.

144
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: All right.

145
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Many creatives might be eviscerated in the advent of AI,

146
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: but my poetry will always be why.

147
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: Don't we flip the table?

148
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 4: The best?

149
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: You write me a poem about me?

150
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: Yes, a beach now three minutes.

151
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: Now you can take on GBC or whatever it is called.

152
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 4: Bring it on, bitch, hey, you just joining us.

153
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: We're discussing the fact that one hundred and eighty employees

154
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: journalists all lost their jobs. Tragic, truly, no longer working

155
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: for BuzzFeed, as they replaced all of them with a I.

156
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a chatbot called chat gpt, which is going to

157
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: write all the content. We've actually been using it. You

158
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: can access it online to do a whole bunch of that.

159
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: It's terrifying how quickly it turns over content.

160
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

161
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: It does songs.

162
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: It was doing jokes about me, and we didn't even

163
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: feed this thing any information about me because it does,

164
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 2: like churches, rapid search online and it does it in seconds.

165
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it turns out, turns.

166
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: It out, so like for all of us, we're very

167
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: worried about our jobs.

168
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: Let's be honest now, before the break, I said to

169
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: you something like poetry, which really is written from the heart. Really,

170
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: if you break poetry down, it's so emotional and from

171
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: the heart that surely a robot can't do that. Or

172
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: do you think will you could still write a better

173
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: poem if you had three minutes to write it.

174
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: And you said absolutely, yeah, right, yeah.

175
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: Should be worried about AI, but not me. It comes

176
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: to poetry. You can take everything away from.

177
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: Me because old chat gpt, this robot, this churned O.

178
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: I just typed into it. Write a poem about Woody

179
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: at the.

180
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: Beach, and we've and it did this over the song

181
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: unless seconds.

182
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, in five seconds, you had three minutes.

183
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: I've had three minutes to write my poem.

184
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: Now we're going to start with the robots poem about

185
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 2: me at the beach.

186
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: Yes, and then we'll hear yours and we can all

187
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: decide whose poem was better. Okay, this is the robot.

188
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 5: Pressure Woody at the beach, with sand between his toes

189
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: and sun up on his face. He stands amidst the

190
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 5: seas embrace the sunsets in a blaze of red, and

191
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 5: Woody's heart is filled with peace. Oh my God, for

192
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 5: this is where he finds released and memories he always keep.

193
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 5: So here's to Woody at the Beach, where life is simple,

194
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: calm and bright, with memories that filled his sight and

195
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 5: love that warms him through the night.

196
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: I kind of labored that sight night bit at the

197
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: end was beautiful. It was im bloody good though.

198
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ quite emotional that those team, by the way

199
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: is Tim the ham Sandwich harmond On.

200
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: Because the production music behind that was nice. That's ridiculous.

201
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: Do you want the sound effects.

202
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: Like some sort of Yeah, not bad all right?

203
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Here we got a fair playing film.

204
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: We all want a beer playing? Can I say I was?

205
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: I was?

206
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: That was No, It's just like before I put down

207
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: my competitive sense here that was mind boggling. A computer

208
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: just wrote a palem about you and the beach, which

209
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: is probably a lot better than any mere mortal.

210
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: Could write, and it did it in two seconds.

211
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Yes, but I am not any mere mortal when it

212
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: comes to poetry. The beach body and the beach both

213
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: with individual majesty. But to suggest that they are separate

214
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: and each would miss what they share, and that is

215
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: a travesty with unflappable spirit and humor that saws how

216
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: different is Woody from those glistening waves, and his soft

217
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: sands and horizons ensure his presence generates peace, that so

218
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: many of us crave a peach of a tush or

219
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: a peach of a day, the warmth of the sun,

220
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: or the warmth of his heart. If you don't know him,

221
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: you may doubt this claim that a mere human could

222
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: compare to one of nature's great displays. But when I

223
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: think of what brings me most joy, it's not a

224
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: beach or a park or any other guy It's this

225
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: free wheeling, crazy boy beauty of which a beach only

226
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: wishes it could buy.

227
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: I think the robot had a.

228
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: Head.
