#AI
This podcast examines the evolving relationship between humans, artificial intelligence, and the perception of reality. It begins by discussing how AI-generated images challenge our ability to distinguish between real and unreal visuals, drawing a parallel to the 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast that blurred the lines for some listeners. Then we look at how human-created entertainment has always involved the production of non-reality-based content, from films with fantastical elements to actors playing fictional villains. Ultimately, we suggest that AI's increasing ability to produce high-quality, non-reality-based content at a lower cost will profoundly impact filmmaking, potentially making it even harder to discern what is real, especially with advancements like voice and image cloning.
