In this episode, Richard Hoeg discusses a range of topics, starting with YouTube interactions and tech issues. The conversation then moves towards AI in journalism, the interplay of law, technology, and politics. The episode concludes with updates on scheduling and the introduction of Podcast AI. KEY POINTS - The episode discusses artificial intelligence's role in content creation and the ethical considerations of AI-generated articles in the context of Sports Illustrated using an AI vendor for editorial content. - Richard Hoeg plans to utilize new AI tools like PodcastAI to enhance the channel's content management and distribution, including updating podcast descriptions and chapter stops efficiently. - Due to technical difficulties with the backup computer, the episode was cut short and focused more on hangouts with the community rather than an in-depth discussion on AI and legal issues.

The media suggests and shapes our understanding of the news items that fill our days (and our social media timelines) - sometimes fairly and sometimes quite unfairly. Here Hoeg (and often friends) dive deep into just what's happening in the story behind the stories, with a whole lot of hanging-out, chatting, and wild tangents as well. *** THE HEADLINES: https://futurism.com/sports-illustrated-ai-generated-writers https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/27/media/sports-illustrated-deletes-articles-fake-author-names-ai-profile-photos/index.html https://apnews.com/article/journalists-ai-counterfeit-writers-479cc3869c0638df5bbb26d4b1e4f18f *** WANT TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
