Episode notes
Both Meta and OpenAI have launched new AI products over the last couple of weeks and they've moved away from their butthole logos to cute little, fluffy creatures.
Meta’s character is called Jolly and is a little beige plushie. And OpenAI has Dots, a series of colourful fluffy animated characters. Fiona and Holly discuss if we think they might make us trust the AI more and whether that's the whole point of what the companies are trying to do.
Plus Fiona tries out ChatGPT for Teens, we've found a new AI offering from Amazon that we both actually think has potential to be fun and a reasonable use of AI - the first time that has happened. And of course we talk about OpenAI's latest blunder and the sharing of images from private ChatGPT conversations.
