Welcome to Episode 297This episode, we discuss AI's impact on the world, the parts we dislike, like generative AI, and some of its genuine benefits. We share encounters with AI in the wild, including a cold-calling AI bot tricked into giving a curry recipe, and people using AI to write books while claiming the work as their own. We also talk about how replacing entry-level jobs with AI may well cause a serious skills and experience gap down the line.We also discuss The Asylum's mockbuster films, Ram's plans to replay Deus Ex: Human Revolution next year (since it's set in 2027) and how it compares to the real world, some sad but fascinating plane incidents, and a local wildfire.NotesThe future is here, channel 4 did an AI presenter in 2025Maker of the finest knockoff films, The AsylumNot often seen in UK, a wildfire in SouthwoldThe danger of over confidence with the Dunning-Kruger effectA British airway pilot that got sucked out of a window BA Flight 5390Not done in a 747, but a test pilot comp
