[00:00:28] Podcast Intro with hosts Wes and Go to Go.

[00:01:12] A website called Caitfished.com offers a 17-question test to determine if an image is real or AI-generated, link in show notes.

[00:02:50] Detecting facial anomalies is challenging due to "Uncanny Valley" and potential overfitting.

[00:05:28] A survey in Germany tested people's perceptions of AI using similar images and had over 1000 test subjects identifying the R1 person.

[00:06:55] Many struggle to distinguish between real and AI-generated images, but many prefer AI-created artwork to human-created. One-third of participants think AI will negatively impact the creative process.

[00:10:24] Assessing art based on whether it was created by a machine or a person is not objective or a valid way to judge creativity. Art should be considered subjective.

[00:11:45] Study finds low AI awareness; compares access barriers to early crypto.

[00:14:41] Wes shares how an AI tool helped her avoid a scammy podcast and led her to an unexpected opportunity for a 10-week celebrity-hosted show with sponsorship deals.

[00:19:24] A podcast editor was offered a 5-minute segment on a TV show that airs on Comcast and was promised 25 leads and a billboard in Times Square for $5,000. The editor is excited about the opportunity and feels validated.

[00:20:53] Wes describes how they almost fell for a predatory advertising scheme that promised them a Times Square billboard for $5,000. Instead of paying directly, Wes offered to help the scammer by integrating AI tools. Thanks to AutoGPT, Wes discovered that it was a scam trying to swindle them out of their money.
