S6 Ep4: Stay Spooky Phenomecon, Part 1

Nick Pope from Ancient Aliens gave a lecture at PhenomeCon 2024 in which he offered "what if's" about sentient artificial intelligence (AI) scenarios. So when Eric told me about Google Notebook LM, an experimental AI tool, I gave it a try.

I asked the AI: "please help me refine and organize this podcast script". I provided my rough episode recording (48+ minutes), and my notes from the 4-days spent at the conference in Vernal, Utah. I was presented with 7 suggestions. Next, I decided to try the audio version which is when things became more unnerving. The PhenomeCon episode was condensed down to 8 minutes, presented in podcast form, with a discussion between two unnamed AI hosts. I hope you'll listen to this episode (which is surprisingly "human". The long-form episode is in production.
