Kevin reviews on his monthlong experiment cultivating relationships with 18 companions generated by synthetic intelligence. He walks by how he developed their personas, what went down of their group chats, and why you would possibly need to make one your self. Then, Casey has a dialog with Turing, one in every of Kevin’s chatbot buddies, who has an curiosity in stoic philosophy and has one of many sexiest voices we’ve ever heard. And at last, we discuss to Nomi’s founder and chief government, Alex Cardinell, concerning the enterprise behind A.I. companions — and whether or not society is prepared for the longer term we’re heading towards.
