God, the Devil, and AI feat. Miles Klee (E323)
Podcast: QAA PodcastRating: Explicit Published On: Sat May 10 2025
Description: People use generative artificial intelligence to troubleshoot technical problems, churn out anime-inspired images based on their personal photos, and drive university professors who teach undergrad courses to the darkest pits of despair. But are the applications of artificial intelligence limited to worldly matters? On today’s episode, we discuss how strings of words generated by mindless neural network predictions over tokenized inputs are burrowing into our very souls. First, we speak to Rolling Stone journalist Miles Klee, who recently published a fascinating investigation into people who have fallen into spiritual fantasies because of their conversations with ChatGPT. And then Annie covers how conservative author Rod Dreher sees the devil in AI chatbots. Have you heard the good news of our lord and savior: byte pair encoding tokenization?
