God, this is so weird. Two people earnestly engaged in discussing your resume. It's such a juxtaposition of the trappings of an interesting podcast on just random, boring material. I think this is uncanny valley for me in a way I haven't experienced before.

> I think this is uncanny valley for me in a way I haven't experienced before. It has some of this quality. But it's just a super positive spin on the most mundane of topics.

  This is my experience too. At first it sounds legit, but it is very superficial and lacks context. I fed it a fe papers on stack computers and they had a riveting discussion on how they would be the next big thing. But it lacks any insight, not even a rehashed conclusion, and doesn’t really seem to integrate the knowledge

    GPTs are, in effect, rather powerful templating engines. It's fascinating. This tech can extract a template for a typical podcast, extrapolate from a mundane CV, plug that to the template and produce a podcast script that your typical copywriter would. > But it lacks any insight, not even a rehashed conclusion, and doesn’t really seem to integrate the knowledge Is it the GPT that is lacking here or the source material it learned on converges to this?

      You can’t gain insight by finding the most statistically likely next token. The whole point of grand innovations is that they took years of focus on something not very likely. Like the iPhone. In the 90s could you imagine electronics that literally everyone had in their pocket with _almost no buttons_. Or in the 70s, could u imagine everyone having their own personal computer? Even in star trek, communicators had buttons.

    Ironically that could describe a lot of talk-show podcasts these days.
