In this December edition of the Disambiguation podcast, co-host Tom Pringle and I dive into the latest developments in artificial intelligence, generative AI, and business automation. We kick off the episode with some holiday housekeeping, including a reminder about our upcoming season finale and the exciting launch of Season 3 in mid-January.

We discuss the recent integration of ChatGPT with Siri by Apple, pondering its implications in the context of the ongoing competition with Google. The conversation shifts to the evolving landscape of AI, touching on the balance between DIY AI solutions and purchasing established models, as well as the importance of specialized models for specific industry needs.

We also explore the recent announcements from OpenAI, including the launch of their new video generation tool, Sora, and the challenges that come with increased demand and potential outages. The discussion highlights the dual nature of AI technology—its potential for creativity and productivity, alongside concerns about deep fakes and misinformation.

As we wrap up, we reflect on the ongoing debate surrounding AI skepticism and the need for regulation, especially in light of recent developments in autonomous technology. We encourage our listeners to audit their subscriptions as the year comes to a close and wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Join us next month for a new season and more engaging discussions on the future of AI!
