Ep 17: Agent Alan Thompson - Do AI Write of Electric Sheep?

As you read my words now, the text has been constructed with several decisions about the words, tone, and grammar. While it seems straightforward to articulate this message rationally, it is far from pure reason and is in fact a creative and unique process to write. Can you imagine how machines would choose to write to us? If you haven't already seen an AI send text messages, you might imagine a concise and precise use of words that could only mean one thing. Language doesn’t work like that, and English is incredibly messy, and we are now seeing astounding examples of written communication from AI. Dr Alan D. Thompson is an AI consultant with a particularly amazing example of machine learning in his AI named Leta, who has recently authored, illustrated, narrated and then described her own children’s book. Leta’s Adventures is simply a must-read for 2022 and sits amongst an incredible collection of exploration and examination of AI available on Alan’s popular Youtube Channel. Alan graced the Art Intelligence Agency unaccompanied, though I am sure it won’t be long before we can hear Leta join the podcast.

If you're intrigued to hear more of Alan's excellent commentary on AI, follow his work on his website, or subscribe to his renowned newsletter, The Memo.

This Podcast was Produced by Tim Whiffen of Whimsy Productions in Association with the Art Intelligence Agency, the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, and the Sia Furler Institute of the University of Adelaide.
