Will and Jill discuss AI's growing presence in pop culture, how models are being trained, the potential of AI-powered productivity tools, a recent Disney data leak, and the ongoing debate about AI's role in creative industries.
AI is officially making its way into pop culture as it’s now a part of the popular TV show Big Brother. This week Will and Jill discuss companies using YouTube videos to train AI models and the need for transparency and accountability in AI training. They also talk about the availability of Gemini workspace extensions for Google Workspace users and the potential benefits of integrating Gemini with Google Workspace. The conversation then shifts to the leak of Disney's internal Slack messages by hackers and the ethical implications of such actions. Finally, they discuss the impact of AI on the gaming industry and the concerns of artists supplementing AI, rather than AI supplementing artists.
