Top Episodes Quotes
- “And I just think at the moment, AI, you know, the robots don't know, you know, because it's a, it is a confronting thought and a confronting conversation to have because most of us get a sense of self worth and our identity is wrapped up. It's going to work 8 hours a day and working hard and putting in a hard day's work. Right. And then, and that, that structure, I think is, is going to fall apart.“ by Speaker B
- “Listen, if I take you back, which I'm not going to do here, but if I took you back to a moment in your life where you were grieving for some reason, and I asked you to replay that memory in your mind, right, last time I said goodbye. Chances are most people that go through this exercise will end up with tears in their eyes because the brain doesn't. Can't distinguish memory from reality.“ by Speaker B
- “And so if you sit with someone and hear their challenges and have a real human connection with them, you can provide, if you hold space for them, you can provide something for them that the robots will never be able to provide.“ by Speaker B

Can you believe it’s not even a year since ChatGPT entered our collective consciousness, making AI part of everyday speak?! “How did we ever live without it?” some are saying.

It’s another artificially intelligent episode 653 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast.
