Bonus Episode: Here's The Real Problem With Generative AI

Download MP3
We're taking a short break here at Stupid Sexy Privacy. We'll return Thursday, May 4th, with our final four episodes. 

But we didn't want to leave you empty-handed. 

Today, Amanda King (co-author of "How to Protect Your From Fascists & Weirdos") talks with Professor Uri Gal. Uri is a professor of Business Information Systems at The University of Sydney.

In this bonus episode, Amanda talks with Professor Gal about the real challenges and ethical issues surrounding the use of Generative AI (or as we call them, Exploitative AI) software.

It's not your job you need to worry about. Generative AI produces C-level work, at best, and almost all of that work is stolen/plagiarized from other people's work without their permission or consent. The real threat is what happens when you flood the entire Internet with BS, to the point where people can't tell up from down anymore and don't trust each other.

That's an Avengers-level problem, and one we need to solve immediately since ... You know, the Avengers aren't real. But the threat of Generative AI is.

**BJ's first book on privacy, "The End of Privacy" is badly dated in a few sections; however, it's still very funny and the rest of the book is still (sadly) current. We've included most of the book, for free, in this podcast miniseries. If you'd like to buy the unabridged version, you can do so here.
