May I Learn About AI? - The Weird and Wonderful World of AI - Episode 4

🔍 Episode Summary:

From AI-generated art and absurd pop lyrics to moody microwaves and existential toasters, this episode dives into the bizarre, creative side of artificial intelligence. In celebration of Geek Pride Day and Towel Day, Doctor JR and guest Dr. Casey Brightman explore how machines are learning to “create” through poetry, music, visual art—and yes, comedy.

We break down how AI creativity actually works, share real-world examples (some brilliant, some bizarre), and reflect on the philosophical questions raised by machine-made art. Can AI be a co-creator? Where is this heading? And what does it say about human imagination when a robot can write a breakup song that makes you cry?

You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and you might just start talking to your fridge a little differently.
