ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

Monty vs ChatGPT: have you seen this one?

16:51Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Montemagno tries a voice conversation with ChatGPT, jokingly naming it Gigio. He moves from chess and table tennis to a comedy show, then requests ideas for a video's title and thumbnail. The exchange becomes a brainstorming experiment about machine customers: assistants that might choose and purchase for people, affecting marketing and commerce. In his final assessment, Marco distinguishes workplace usefulness from the still limited naturalness of turn-taking and interruptions. The AI's responses and quoted forecasts form part of this experiment at the time.
