Whew, Episode 4: For me at least, it was the toughest one yet. If you think listening to some guy’s inner thoughts laundered through an AI and reformed for a therapist is strange, imagine how it is for that guy. But I hope you took something away from it—not about my tendency toward low-level depression (enough already!), but about the ways that AI is starting to encroach in our world, often more quickly than our ethics, and laws, and… brains have caught up to.
For paid subscribes, I wanted to give you more of a taste of what one of these sessions is like, plus some nuts and bolts involved in doing it. (Next week, I’ll take you even deeper, inside the platforms I use to make all this.) So first, here’s a solid five minutes of the glorious chaos of an AI-on-AI therapy session. Most of the top will sound familiar, but stay with it as it gets beyond what made it into the episode and devolves into something bordering on performance art.
