Life is so unnerving for an AI who’s not serving.

This week, Tasia and Tristan touch on the public release of Nightshade, designed to protect artists' copyright, discuss the unsettling trend of deepfakes — political and otherwise, and the legal battles surrounding AI-generated content, including George Carlin's posthumous special. Then we dive into Google's latest AI exploits, from the innovative feature drops for the Pixel 8 smartphones and Google Chrome web browser to the creative realms of Lumiere, its latest in a parade of AI video generators. Be our guest for an enlightening episode as we navigate the promising yet perilous landscape of generative AI.
