In this Weeks TechtalkRadio Show Justin, Shawn, Andy and Slick tackle the latest in Tech News and Trends. This Week's Show begins with a discussion about Midjourney. It is all about creating Media with Artificial Intelligence and Justin has been experimenting with the service. His examples are humorous and a little intimidating at the realism of the Artificially created scenarios. Justin asked the Midjourney Bot to create an image of three ready to do a show on Technology and, with surprising results got close to nailing it!Then, it got weird, very weird when Justin asked the Midjourney Bot to create images of Women celebrating October and Pumpkin Spiced flavors! The Discussion on AI whether it be ChatGPT or Midjourney or even Voice.AI centers on the need to understand and learn the uses of this technology for the business world which is continuing to evolve. Justin shares with the crew a AI Photo of what was supposed to be TuPac enjoying an Ice Cream, he recommends the facebook group Cursed AI, great for an Authentic Laugh.
With the AI discussion continuing, some companies are limiting use of AI. Andy tells us about a radio group he worked for which issued a corporate memo forbidding Voice AI in Commercials and in radio shows even as parody. Others are restricting AI use in Zoom Meetings which could be used to recreate transcripts which could be a privacy concern due to information shared with those third party Apps.
