Introduction

0:00 Why would you expect AI to do any better? I feel like I know what it's like to be an evangelical person who like thinks everybody's going to hell because of like the Bible or whatever and you're like just listen to me and I'll change your life. I am becoming evangelical about chatb because it's just been so useful and I have to like keep it in my pants because I'm scaring people off. >> [music] >> On this episode, I'm talking with Sarah Rose Ciskin.

0:59 She's a good friend of mine and she's a fantastic science comedy writer and she runs the science and technology communications agency, Hello Cyclom. Sarah's great because she's one of the few people in the comedy world who actually uses AI all the time to write jokes. So, we get into how to use AI as a creative tool, how to use AI to be funny, how to incorporate it as part of a writer's room, and we even get into one of her more zany projects, which zany projects called Fetus GPT, where Sarah, who's pregnant, has carried a microphone around 24/7 to record all of the sounds that her baby has been hearing as it's been developing.

1:22 And she's using that as training data for fetus GPT to see how a language model trained from scratch on only what an unborn fetus would hear performs. So, if you want to hear all about that and more, let's get into this episode. So, fetus GBT, remind me. It's basically uh you're you're recording all of the things that your fetus has heard and then using that to train an AI, right? >> An AI that has been trained on nothing other than the MP3 files of the past five months and text files of the past
