Welcome to Episode 63 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture, keeping us “old people” informed.

This week, Kelly uses ChatGPT and Claude for the first time. Don uses AI all the time. Kelly has never used it once. So naturally, her first question is about how to nicely ask a neighbor to move their giant car.

We compare ChatGPT vs. Claude, ask if cereal is soup, find out which leg should go into pants first, talk about AI hallucinations, and debate whether you should say please and thank you to a chatbot.

But things also get a little real: should people use AI for medical questions? Relationship advice? Love letters? And at what point does a helpful tool start replacing your own opinions, instincts, and personality?

The final verdict: AI can be useful, but don’t use a machine to replace your personality.

Subscribe for more middle-aged takes on pop culture, tech, marriage, parenting, and whatever weird thing we’re trying to understand this week.

SPEAKER_01

You love it, you hate it. Either way, it's here to stay. You know what I'm talking about, Kelly?

SPEAKER_00

Cleaning toilets.

SPEAKER_01

No, we're talking about ChatGPT, Claude, and AI bots.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know these things.

SPEAKER_01

Kelly's a total noob.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Noob.

SPEAKER_00

You just want to keep saying noob.

SPEAKER_01

I like the word noob. It's kind of close to boob.

SPEAKER_00

I think of the word nub.

SPEAKER_01

You're a noob nub.

SPEAKER_00

I am.

SPEAKER_01

Today Kelly's gonna use Chat GPT and Claude for the first time.

SPEAKER_00

I have never used it ever, ever, ever. And Don uses it quite often. But there was an ad on TV, and I thought that this was very interesting. And I don't know for sure if this is ChatGPT or not. But it was like you hold your phone up on a camera mode in your refrigerator, and so it sees the ingredients that are in your fridge, and you're like, what can I make for dinner tonight? And it tells you.

SPEAKER_01

I have pickles and mayonnaise and orange juice. What should I make tonight?

SPEAKER_00

It would probably give you like the number for a pizza place.

SPEAKER_01

You can't make anything with this.

SPEAKER_00

It would probably tell you in like a very like reassuring positive way.

SPEAKER_01

Well, you've never used it, so how do you even know that?

SPEAKER_00

Well, my impression of it is that it's always like, that's an excellent question. I love your curiosity, and you have such interesting taste in food. Let's explore our options together.

SPEAKER_01

Anchovies and an apple.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And it looks like you like salty foods. Maybe this would be good for you.

SPEAKER_01

Why don't you just stick out your tongue and pour salt on it?

SPEAKER_00

There you go.

SPEAKER_01

You've never asked ChatGPT a question. True.

SPEAKER_00

Do you go to chat GPT.com?

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god, Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

Or is it another?

SPEAKER_01

That's like you looking at a cell phone and being like, how do I use this?

SPEAKER_00

There was probably a time when I would have been that way.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. You go to chat GPT.com or Claude, I think it's Claude.com, or you can download an app.

SPEAKER_00

What does GPT stand for?

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. Chat, okay, I'll chat. And then my brain stops there before it hits the GPT part.

SPEAKER_00

Generative pre-trained transformer.

SPEAKER_01

That takes all the fun out of it.

SPEAKER_00

It's a transformer.

SPEAKER_01

So what's your first ever question for Chat GPT, Cal?

SPEAKER_00

We have a neighbor right now who is constantly parking their giant ass cars in front of like our house. And I would ask it how to communicate in a nice way to move your fucking car.

SPEAKER_01

You know what I would do?

SPEAKER_00

What?

SPEAKER_01

Slash the tires. Yeah, gee it. That gets it moved real fast. They'll be like, oh shit, we should park it in the driveway.

SPEAKER_00

That's what I would ask ChatGPT.

SPEAKER_01

I'm predicting that it's going to give you several responses. You could do this or you could do this. I don't think it's going to give you just one. So what's the question, Kelly?

SPEAKER_00

I said, how do I ask my neighbor to stop parking their big ass car in front of my house?

SPEAKER_01

What does it respond with?

SPEAKER_00

Avoid opening with quote your big ass car unless your relationship already runs on mutual roasting.

SPEAKER_01

So we're taking the question from Chat GPT and putting it in a Claude to see the difference.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, Claude takes a little longer.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, Claude's going deeper.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, neighbor's name. Hope all is well. I wanted to ask a small favor. Would you mind parking in front of your own place when possible? That one's better.

SPEAKER_01

So you like Claude more than Chat GPT?

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Why do you like Claude more than ChatGPT?

SPEAKER_00

It gave less options for answers. So I find that to be more directive.

SPEAKER_01

The different AI agents are basically trained differently. They're different companies, different products. So it's like drinking Coke versus Pepsi. And they give you different responses based on you have an account with these things or no? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So do they learn your voice so that they give you things in your voice? I'm being serious.

SPEAKER_01

Sure. I have the $20 a month subscription to Chat GPT. Ho ho ho ho. So you can subscribe and gives it more $20 a month? Surprise.

SPEAKER_00

Unreasonable, Don.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_00

Well, can't you use it for free?

SPEAKER_01

You can use it to a certain extent for free.

SPEAKER_00

So you pay like $250.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, we're getting in hot water here.

SPEAKER_00

Chat GPT, do you pay for Claude also?

SPEAKER_01

No, I have not yet paid for Claude. But I do use Claude. I use it literally every day. It's a tool that I use for almost everything.

SPEAKER_00

Like, how do I tell my wife that she needs to? Is that how you use Claude?

SPEAKER_01

What's interesting is that your instinct is to use it as a tool to help relationships.

SPEAKER_00

Social interaction.

SPEAKER_01

Social interaction. That to me is a big no-no. So going back to the differences between the two, because you just saw a little bit of a difference. So ChatGPT is known to act as like an eager, fast, accommodating assistant.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, that's how it came across. It wants to please.

SPEAKER_01

Claude acts more like a mentor, more thoughtful, more deep thinking, will disagree with you more often.

SPEAKER_00

I like that much more.

SPEAKER_01

That's your personality, Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Don't chat GPT, Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I'm Claude. I much more like ones that will like not coddle you. I'm surprised that you like the one that does the like rah-rah. Why? I like that. That's an awesome question. Keep it up.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. I'll keep going for you.

SPEAKER_00

It's interesting how fast AI has come to like infiltrate so many parts of um society. I mean, our son uses chat GPT.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody from here on out will use Chat GPT or AI bots. Absolutely. It's like us using Google.

SPEAKER_00

It's like us using Google.

SPEAKER_01

It functions different than Google, but prior to us, people didn't use Google. Then Google came along and they're like, what's this? You search the what and you do the what. And that's what you are doing towards Chat GPT. You're like, wait, how do I use this and why? Like, that's how our past generations were with Google. Like my grandmother called it the confuser.

SPEAKER_00

I was researching um Chat GPT and like its effects in education because I think that that's like pretty interesting. And it was equating it to when Wikipedia came out.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

And that teachers freaked out about Wikipedia. And so it just is a matter of like figuring out like how to use it in a responsible way.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's a tool.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You have a hammer and you can hit a nail dumb. You could hit somebody. Right. Let's try something else, Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

Let's try it.

SPEAKER_01

Ask it. Is cereal just soup? Is cereal just you know what it is?

SPEAKER_00

It is it is. Cereal is the only cold soup I like.

SPEAKER_01

For breakfast.

SPEAKER_00

Well, for anything. I hate cold soup.

SPEAKER_01

Really? Gazpacho is great. Like a watermelon cazpacho.

SPEAKER_00

We have two arguments for both sides.

SPEAKER_01

Let's hear the is cereal just soup, according to Claude.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So it's it could be soup. The argument is cereal shares the basic structure. Which is what I think. A liquid with stuff in liquid, basically.

SPEAKER_01

Stuff in liquid.

SPEAKER_00

And then for it's probably not soup, it says most definitions of soup require the liquid to be savory or heated.

SPEAKER_01

So you can't have a dessert soup.

SPEAKER_00

Also, soup is intentionally cooked. Cereal just gets dunked. Like it just cereal is its own category. Language is just bad at capturing it.

SPEAKER_01

So what is the name of that category?

SPEAKER_00

So you can just have a full-on conversation. Hello, welcome to the ChatGPT says both too. It gives counter-arguments. Cereal is in the soup adjacent family, but survive has its own category through sheer cultural stubbornness.

SPEAKER_01

Sereal has cultural stubbornness.

SPEAKER_00

That's pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_01

According to ChatGPT, cereal has cultural stubbornness.

SPEAKER_00

I think I have cultural stubbornness.

SPEAKER_01

I think that we now need to tell our 10-year-old who loves uh cereal but hates soup that he's actually eating soup. And he should try other soups.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe we should heat it for him.

SPEAKER_01

Oh. So now that you're on the vein of what you can ask ChatGPT, what would you ask it now?

SPEAKER_00

Should I put my pants on left leg first or right leg first?

SPEAKER_01

I think it'll say you can put them on either way.

SPEAKER_00

It says whichever leg has the stronger resume.

SPEAKER_01

It's literally the stronger resume.

SPEAKER_00

Choose the leg nearest the pants. Claude says some athletes swear by consistent routines for focus, but for everyday pants donning purposes, you're safe either way. Claude's answer is very practical.

SPEAKER_01

There's no personality.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it has so, huh?

SPEAKER_01

See, there's a lot of information.

SPEAKER_00

You liked my question.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, about the pants. I got a really good question for you to ask.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

That's gonna rattle your brain. Okay. Write a conversation between America's very first president, George Washington, and America's current president, Donald Trump, about the most important city in the country.

SPEAKER_00

Can I can I make up wrong cities? No, no. You're writing that what I just said. That is the prompt. I thought that I had to write a freaking conversation between them.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my God. No.

SPEAKER_00

I'm America's first president and I love Tallahassee. Well, I'm President Trump and I date.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my God. No. It will compare what it knows about George Washington versus what it knows about Donald Trump. So read it.

SPEAKER_00

You want me to read this whole thing?

SPEAKER_01

Sure.

SPEAKER_00

I must say the most essential city to this republic is Philadelphia. It served as our capital, the birthplace of the Constitution, and the center of commerce and intellect in the early nation. No city better embodies the American experiment.

SPEAKER_01

Words from George Washington through Claude.

SPEAKER_00

And then Trump says, George, great guy. Love him. But he's wrong. And I say this with tremendous respect. It's New York, biggest, best, most beautiful skyline in the world. I built a lot of it, frankly. Washington says, I would remind you that New York was also our first capital. I was inaugurated there, in fact. However, the seat of governance was deliberately moved to a more central location, the city bearing my name, I might add. And Trump said, Washington, D.C. is a disaster, George. Total mess. Beautiful monuments. I kept them very clean, by the way, but the city itself, not good. New York is the financial capital, the media capital, the real estate capital. And then Washington interrupts and says, You seem to define importance entirely by commerce. And Trump says, and you defined it by where a bunch of guys in wigs wanted to meet, no offense. And it just kind of goes down from there.

SPEAKER_01

Now are you starting to understand the like joy of our chatbots?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know that I like need this joy.

SPEAKER_01

This in particular is a fun exercise more than anything.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what I think is funny that I recently learned is what an error is called that um chat. I don't know if it's specific to chat GPT or just AI when it says something that isn't true.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, grandma.

SPEAKER_00

Tell me what it's called.

SPEAKER_01

Hallucination.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so when a person hallucinates, they see and understand things that are not real, but they think they're real.

SPEAKER_01

This is my life.

SPEAKER_00

And when ChatGPT or AI hallucinates, it is saying things are factual when they are not real.

SPEAKER_01

They should call it a drug trip. Um, chat GPT is on a high right now.

SPEAKER_00

It wasn't wrong. It was just hallucinating.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's just bonkers.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it just forgot to take its pill today.

SPEAKER_01

It's on a bender. The way you could summise how much chat GPT is either by going to books and a human-like knowledge, in which it has read roughly, it's trained on roughly 200 million books. And to give you an idea of 200 million books, if you started reading now every day, you'd have to read every day for a hundred thousand years. And that's the amount of information it has in it.

SPEAKER_00

How does it have that information in it?

SPEAKER_01

They train it on text, every website imaginable thing. It just yes, it downloads the information. And this is why they're building data centers because it literally Which are very environmentally unfriendly.

SPEAKER_00

So this is an issue.

SPEAKER_01

Elon Musk wants to put data centers in space. True story.

SPEAKER_00

But wouldn't they be enormous?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they'd just be out there floating in space.

SPEAKER_00

I love that our solution to everything. It's like when you run out of room and you just like cram it up there. Send it to the attic. You can't see it, it's not really there. Do people work at data centers? Kelly. You don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I thought you were an expert.

SPEAKER_01

My instinct is that yes, people need to work at data centers, but they're not people like, ooh, like your prompt comes in and they're over there like, let's send them back this.

SPEAKER_00

It's worth noting that I'm asking a man in a welcome to Flavortown Guy Fieri shirt about data centers and like how AI works. Like, like you sort of look like a crazy person.

SPEAKER_01

Well, if I go like this, I probably look a little crazier. Yeah, Kelly, you should read the room. Like I'm asking the wrong person.

SPEAKER_00

Way too much from you right now.

SPEAKER_01

This is like going to the guy that's sleeping on the bench at the park and be like, could you tell me about data centers? I'm one step away from that.

SPEAKER_00

My bad.

SPEAKER_01

My bad. So here's the next super fun thing I'm excited to show you.

SPEAKER_00

Super fun.

SPEAKER_01

It can invent new words. And we, if you guys have not known, love trending words.

SPEAKER_00

I said come up with a word for foot sweat.

SPEAKER_01

Do you have a lot of foot sweat?

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_01

You just think about foot sweat.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, there's already a meant medical term for it. But here are some better options. Head do, sock juice.

SPEAKER_01

Foot sweat, according to Chat GPT, is sock juice.

SPEAKER_00

No, this is clod.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, sorry. Glog just sounds like what it is. Is that glob on your foot? We did an episode a little while ago about nostalgia.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Well, this is pre-stalgia. The odd sentimental feeling you get for a future inconvenience before it disappears. So standing in an airport security line thinking one day AI will make all of this obsolete. Weirdly, I miss this. Saving a screenshot of an outdated app interface because you know future people won't understand.

SPEAKER_00

That's like depression, I feel like.

SPEAKER_01

Pre-capturing nostalgia.

SPEAKER_00

Like, I'm gonna miss this.

SPEAKER_01

I used it to design math quizzes for our ninth grade grader teenager to get to take the HSPT test.

SPEAKER_00

And it worked very well. Very it had a few hallucinations.

SPEAKER_01

It did. We do the math quizzes and it would give wrong answers. And my teenager would be like, This is right. And I'd look at it and be like, this is right. And then I'd tell Chat GPT, you're wrong, and I am wrong.

SPEAKER_00

Would you really? And it would say, I am wrong.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. If it's wrong, you tell it it's wrong. And it's like, oh, you're right. I've actually fought with it over three or four things where I'm like, no, it's in there. And it's like, no, it's not. And it's like, it's in there. And it's like, oh, you're right, it's in there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And then it curses you somehow.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna hex you in the digital world. Yeah. You're hexed now. You were so right. I have a question.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Do you use please and thank you with AI chatbots, with Claude, with Chat GPT?

SPEAKER_00

No, I will not. Tell me what time the store closes, please. Yeah, no, I don't do that.

SPEAKER_01

Why?

SPEAKER_00

Um, because they're not people.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Why? Is there a movement that's like we need to be polite? No, I think the the thing you should not do. Oh, is treat it like a person is treat it like a human. True. That's probably like opening a Pandora's box. If you start using manners with it, then it then you do start treating it like a person.

SPEAKER_01

The moment you start to have a real conversation, change your path.

SPEAKER_00

Change the path.

SPEAKER_01

Big red flag for you.

SPEAKER_00

Take a left. I am intrigued by the medical assistance that people get from it. Do you think that it's a good resource for that?

SPEAKER_01

Or a no, I think a doctor is a great resource.

SPEAKER_00

The reason being is it a good first resource?

SPEAKER_01

The reason being that a doctor is a great resource is the doctor also has access to Chat GPT. So the doctor can take all the information that ChatGPT is giving you and give their professional advice.

SPEAKER_00

Right. Without the risk of a hallucination.

SPEAKER_01

Or without any sort of risk. I asked Chat GPT how to explain its existence to Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

You you said to ChatGPT, explain yourself.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, got it.

SPEAKER_01

And so it said, don't treat Chat GPT or Claude like Google. Treat them like a person you hired who knows nothing about what you actually want.

SPEAKER_00

But you're saying to not treat them like a person.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So that's a problematic instruction.

SPEAKER_01

I think it's a hugely problematic instruction. But I also was like, okay, what would I do to an intern that I could do with Chat GPD? I'd like to fuck with it just a little bit.

SPEAKER_00

No, you would never.

SPEAKER_01

I would fuck with an intern.

SPEAKER_00

No, you would never.

SPEAKER_01

When we had interns, I would always mess with the intern. Just a little bit.

SPEAKER_00

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, you have a run that you need to do and it's all the way in Ventura. Can you get in the car and go to the Ventura? And then they get halfway there, baby. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Come back.

SPEAKER_00

I don't believe you. You would not do that. That's not nice at all. Do you think that they're gonna like give it a face and stuff?

SPEAKER_01

You could ask Chat GPT, create an image of what you look like.

SPEAKER_00

Can you do that with Siri too?

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. I don't use Siri. Siri's, I believe that Siri is structurally different than the AI spots.

SPEAKER_00

Than the AI bots. Got it. Okay. You hope.

SPEAKER_01

I hope.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Welcome to Flavortown.

SPEAKER_01

Welcome to Flavortown. That should just be the thing on the show when Don doesn't know and be like, just welcome to Flavor Town. Treating it like a person, having a conversation with it. That's a big fat no no. Treat it like a machine.

SPEAKER_00

Hard to imagine it as a machine, though, because you're using a machine already.

SPEAKER_01

Well, if it helps this way, what it actually is doing is it's not understanding your language. It's breaking down the letters and the clumps of words themselves and making them into tokens. And then it is mathematically Well, that's not helpful. Stop. Stop. It's important to know that it is actually not understanding the language. It's breaking it down and putting it into a mathematical equation, essentially. Right, right. Think of it like the hammer. Would you say please to your hammer?

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_01

Please nail this.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I get it.

SPEAKER_01

God. Don't use please and thank you with chat GPT.

SPEAKER_00

Fair. I will not. So there was this essay that was like very widely um published online. It was on a lot of different websites. Um, and it was written by this woman who wrote about having a boyfriend for an extended period of time. It was like a few month-long relationship. And one night he was asleep and she needed to use his laptop.

SPEAKER_01

She went snooping.

SPEAKER_00

She did. I don't think she snooped. You're turning her into a bad person.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know either of these people.

SPEAKER_00

Um, his chat GPT was open on his laptop. And I guess the chat GPT has a history of your conversations. Is this true? I don't.

SPEAKER_01

Real boring. Y'all be like, God, this is stupid.

SPEAKER_00

But his history was right there for her to see, and it was all about her. He was asking Chat GPT for relationship advice. And it was all about him not being attracted to her and him having doubts about their relationship and things like that. And it destroyed their relationship.

SPEAKER_01

Is it wrong that he did that?

SPEAKER_00

Well, this was an extended like period of time.

SPEAKER_01

That is my huge issue. Is having a recurring conversation about a real social interaction with a human. Right. It is not human. Right. It uh we are human. There is something in us that it will never do, even if it's 10 million times smarter than we are, it will not capture what makes us us.

SPEAKER_00

Well, so do you think that there is something in these platforms that that should be changed so that it does not respond in such a human way? Why are you making a face at me?

SPEAKER_01

This is a great question.

SPEAKER_00

If it responded more, obviously it couldn't be like in code, like computer code, but it was more like disjointed almost like in computer talk. It's a great idea, Kelly. I don't know whether to take you seriously or not.

SPEAKER_01

It's a great idea. However, okay, there it is.

SPEAKER_00

Now we're serious.

SPEAKER_01

It's a great idea. This is a product.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_01

It is made by a corporation. This corporation's number one goal or a very high-up goal is to make money. The way it makes money is to keep you on its platform longer. So the more you interact with that chat with that chat, you're having the chat, the more you come to it, the more it makes money. So to make it boring and uninteresting, right, will make you log off faster. To make it conversational, right? Makes it that you will stay on longer.

SPEAKER_00

And that could be like their protection.

SPEAKER_01

OpenAI needs to come and hire Kelly to turn on boring talk. I'm available. I think the time of people write using it to write emails is almost already even out. Really? It's so freaking obvious.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Yeah. I have gotten emails at work that yeah, you're like, oh, screw these people. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

New York magazine had an article about how certain sex of the Amish love Chat GPT, right? Weird.

SPEAKER_00

Wait, I thought they didn't use technology.

SPEAKER_01

They do use some. Some of them are interesting. Really enjoying Chat GPT. And they view it as well, if I went through the effort to put this prompt into Chat GPT, I must care to make it better. And so I'm using a tool to make it better to then send you the email. I'm not just sending you like, whatever, Kelly. Boop.

SPEAKER_00

That's how the Amish are thinking of it. Well, this article is so weird.

SPEAKER_01

This article had an article about the Amish. Yeah, the article was about how the Amish love Chat GPT.

SPEAKER_00

There was a disconnect in that recap.

SPEAKER_01

Well, and there was a disconnect a little bit in the article, to be honest.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

It was a good headline.

SPEAKER_00

Sounds like a good headline.

SPEAKER_01

But it was written in New York magazine, which is like a legitimate publication.

SPEAKER_00

I would like to know what the Amish are asking it.

SPEAKER_01

Well, in this article, yeah, did it say? It was write a love letter to my wife.

SPEAKER_00

Oh. And the wife viewed it as Oh, and the wife knew that that's how it was written and viewed it as a good thing.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, interesting. Yeah. I would not respond that way. Just so you know, so you can throw the love letter away that you were writing via Chat GPT.

SPEAKER_01

My love letter could not be written like Chat GPT. Mine is like, Kelly, you're awesome. I love you.

SPEAKER_00

I would want it to rhyme first of all.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, right. Then you would know it's not from me.

SPEAKER_00

Get to work.

SPEAKER_01

All right. I got a quiz for you. This is like a yes, no. Should I use Chat GPT or be a functioning adult?

SPEAKER_00

I like that you explained a quiz. This is a yes no.

SPEAKER_01

You want to know if the growth on your arm is okay.

SPEAKER_00

Uh no, use chat GPT.

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, go to a doctor. Your spouse is wrong and you need advice about how to deal.

SPEAKER_00

I'm gonna say no on all of these. I ordered that question very specifically. Oh, I see. Sorry. I didn't pick it up.

SPEAKER_01

All right. It's your annoying kid's birthday and you need ideas.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think maybe using it.

SPEAKER_01

Your kid's annoying.

SPEAKER_00

If your kid's annoying, then yeah, I think. I'm not saying that my kid is annoying. I'm saying if my kid, this is a hypothetical. And I would ask Chat GPT, like, what do I do for my annoying kid?

SPEAKER_01

And it'll be like your kid's not annoying, man.

SPEAKER_00

Like, you're a bad parent.

SPEAKER_01

Should we use Chat GPT or not? Uh, to replace all human interaction.

SPEAKER_00

No. Could you imagine if I was like, Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, we need to replace. I was trying to get to absurdity, but apparently my questions.

SPEAKER_00

I said no. That was absurd. You got your answer.

SPEAKER_01

Did I?

SPEAKER_00

Yes. That was a good quiz.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you for jumping in on my weird train.

SPEAKER_00

Flavortown. The train to flavortown.

SPEAKER_01

Jumped on my flavortown train. Verdict. Our verdict.

SPEAKER_00

And the question is, is AI good?

SPEAKER_01

Is that what you want the question to be?

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Great.

SPEAKER_00

I think that AI is on its way to being very good. I think it's probably good right now, but I think that it needs to be uh harnessed in a better way right now. Through guardrails, through user manuals, essentially. I think people need to have like a better, firmer grasp on how to use it.

SPEAKER_01

Beautiful verdict, Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

You can get it tattooed on your butt.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna tattoo that whole thing across my lower back.

SPEAKER_00

You should.

SPEAKER_01

Then when I take off my shirt, you'll be like, oh, right, that's how I feel about AI. Your verdict. My verdict is yes, I love it. But it's a tool. We as humans can't be replaced, no matter how much knowledge that has. And I think that if you need real advice, you should go to somebody that you trust and you love and get real advice from a real human. And I think that the biggest problem with it is when you start asking too many opinion and advice questions, you start to lose what makes you you. And you start to rely on it. And I think that it's really important that you keep your opinions and your thoughts and don't rely on a fucking machine to replace your personality. I will get that tattooed on my butt. Don't use a machine to replace your personality. Chat GPT can't outdo this. Knowing that you like both or that you have No, I like Claude better. So now that you know you have Claude, I will ask Claude, are you good? So Don and Kelly versus the AI. The question for AI is, are you good? Its answer is yes, doing well. How can I help you today? So I guess I have to get more specific.

SPEAKER_00

Just say, are you good for humanity?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, Claude has taken a lot longer to think about this one.

SPEAKER_00

It's a very it's a deep question.

SPEAKER_01

It's like, oh, I gotta scan a lot of websites. That's a genuinely interesting question, and I think about it seriously. This is the problem with it, is it uses I.

SPEAKER_00

You need boring talk.

SPEAKER_01

My honest view, I have real potential to be good for humanity, but it's not guaranteed. It depends a lot on how I'm built, deployed, and used.

SPEAKER_00

On the positive side, kind of like what I said.

SPEAKER_01

I can help people learn. Uh, but there are legitimate concerns too about misinformation, over reliance, job displace displacement, concentration of AI power, and whether AI systems like me truly reflect broad human values or just narrow ones.

SPEAKER_00

I like that it was like, I might be bad. I might be bad.

SPEAKER_01

Depends on how you fuckers use it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I was like, yeah, it's all on you.

SPEAKER_01

All right, Kelly.

SPEAKER_00

All right, Dawn.

SPEAKER_01

I want to get back to the real talk.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, real talk with real people.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, let's move on.

SPEAKER_00

That's what the show is real talk with real people.

SPEAKER_01

Real talk with real people. We've had enough of this AI chat box bullshit.

SPEAKER_00

It's interesting. I will say it's interesting, but I'm not gonna start using it.

SPEAKER_01

Good. It's interesting, and I will start using it. Yeah, you will continue using it. All right, let's move on.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. So you want to do give it time?

SPEAKER_01

Let's give it time.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so give it time is when we make a prediction about something that we think is gonna really catch on. You just have to give it time.

SPEAKER_01

What's your give it time this week?

SPEAKER_00

So I don't have a give it time this week. I actually just wanted to um wish Nate a happy birthday.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, it's our 14-year-old's birthday.

SPEAKER_00

Because he's turning 14 today. So I'm gonna say it's gonna be a really great year. Give it time.

SPEAKER_01

Give it time, your kids grow up.

SPEAKER_00

All right, what's your what's your prediction?

SPEAKER_01

My prediction is all your kids will get bigger. Uh no, my prediction is based off something you shared. Kelly shared with me this thing called tarps off. You want to explain what it is, Kelly?

SPEAKER_00

It's this trend going on in baseball parks right now. Um, MLB games, people in the stands, men, I should say, in the stands, are taking off their shirts and waving them in a rallying way.

SPEAKER_01

Next time I go to a Dodger game, I'm going fucking tarps off. Yep. My prediction is tarps off is gonna spread this summer like wildfire.

SPEAKER_00

Give it time and men will take their shirts off. That's what Don's saying.

SPEAKER_01

All right, you got one last thing before we log off?

SPEAKER_00

Um, no. Do you have something to recommend?

SPEAKER_01

I have a recommendation. So we're recording on Thursday. This gets released on Tuesday, and our anniversary is in between.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yes, it's on Monday. No, Sunday.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_00

The romance is out of control. Our anniversary is on Sunday.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, it will be our 18-year anniversary. Holy mother. Holy mother. And my recommendation is find someone you love.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, Don, that's so nice.

SPEAKER_01

And then stay with them.

SPEAKER_00

Don wishes he did that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Oops. Whatever you do, find someone you love.

SPEAKER_00

Happy anniversary.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, happy anniversary to you. And that's my recommendation. And I do have a question based off that recommendation. What is it? 18 years ago, did you think you would be podcasting me with me in our pool house?

SPEAKER_00

18 years ago, I didn't know what podcasting was.

SPEAKER_01

How far we have come.

SPEAKER_00

All right. Uh thanks everybody.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. Uh, if you're listening or watching, please subscribe. It means a lot to us. Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to say that.

SPEAKER_00

It means very little to us, but subscribe anyways.

SPEAKER_01

You know, it gives us a little bit of motivation, but we would do this anyways. Thank you, and we'll talk to you next week.

SPEAKER_00

Bye bye.
