Loved this deep dive into AI. VERY informative series. When will there be more?

With three episodes to go, I’m not sure I’ll finish. The series’ foundational episodes were very compelling. After that, we were hit with an unimpressive “investigation” and overmuch anecdotal episodes. It feels like this was prepared on a deadline, and was rushed more and more each episode.

Fantastic investigation and report! Congrats!

Well done Michael Safi and Guardian crew involved.

Thank you for the balanced sobering look at AI technology.

Lucky are those who don’t have to wait for new episodes to drop. Michael & team guide us on a fascinating journey along the highways & byways of AI, bringing out it’s potential to shape our lives for better and potentially for worse

Fascinating and thought provoking.

Among the many shortcomings, there seems to be no grasp of the extent of plagiarism involved, the breach of copyright needed to pump info into these programs. No mention of the colossal amounts of energy needed to run the computers or the vast amounts of computational power required. And all to end up with the anodyne garbage of ChatGPT. No doubt AI has its uses, but helping to blow up the current tech-bro bubble isn’t helpful. Production is professional.

Wondering if given such important information on early breast cancer detection would it be possible to include a link for adding mammogram results to the data base or for people like me who just had a mastectomy to be given the opportunity to use the system on the other side of the breast? Terrific job with each topic

Thank you. Clear, concise and somewhat comforting. I appreciate the discussion of the many points of view, and the possibilities. Also, I could listen to Michael Safi all day long; the clarity of his voice makes listening to the podcasts he speaks on a pleasure.

I love the voice of Michael Safi. His podcast and black box mysterious series lifted me out of sad mood and possibly depression. I listen at work and I don’t want the work finish. 😊🤗

Mispronounces the subject of investigation at every mention, even after being corrected (in episode 2). This just really bothered me because the point of "ClothOff", as you yourselves illustrate, is to create images of people with *clothes off*. Nobody is clamoring for whatever "Cloth Off" is; "I would love to see what the dining table looks like with the 'Cloth off'." — said nobody ever, obviously. Enormous journalistic failure that persists even after someone associated with the nefarious application refers to it, correctly, as "ClotheOff" (in pronunciation, not spelling). I would like to see a correction issued for this entire episode, unless, of course, The Guardian and journalists behind Black Box do not care at all about accuracy or integrity in journalism!

I listened to it twice and can go on and on.

Love it so far.
