Attorney, award winning blogger and AI expert Ralph Losey’s curated and vetted podcast features his Anonymous Podcasters as they do a deep dive on Ralph’s EDRM blog post on Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and his blog post “The Human Edge: How AI Can Assist But Never Replace.” Parsing out intuition and emotion as differentiators, the AI Podcasters, channeling their inner “humanity”, discuss how humans need to oversee the AI, and how AI does not have the creative spark or depth of feeling or spirituality of creative artists and scientists.
