Hosted by Todd Cochrane, Episode 1758 of Geek News Central dives into the diverse applications of AI chatbots, drawing from a recent Washington Post analysis. Cochrane begins by summarizing how AI chatbots like ChatGPT are commonly being used. Key points include their use in creative writing and role-playing by 21% of users, aiding with schoolwork by 18% of younger users, general searches and queries, work-related tasks, programming, and image generation.
The episode also explores a broader range of topics beyond AI chatbots. Cochrane highlights the day’s stock market downturn and its implications for tech giants, updates on video game industry strikes concerning AI and working conditions, and AI’s projected influences on future tech products and services.
In podcasting updates, Cochrane discusses shifts in his recording setup. He uses a new tool DSP called PodMobile from AudioSigma instead of the usual RodeCaster, which allows for more streamlined, software-based management of the podcast’s audio inputs and recordings.
Cochrane continues to delve into various tech news, discussing:
– A potential phishing issue with Apple’s email strategy,
– Legal proceedings over Apple’s keyboard design flaws,
– Microsoft’s new internal policy on security,
– NASDAQ’s performance dip and its effects on the tech industry,
– A cybersecurity threat involving malware spread through AI image editing tools on Facebook,
– And updates on NASA’s challenges with the Starliner spacecraft.
The episode also mentions ongoing support for Geek News Central by its primary sponsor, GoDaddy, encouraging listeners to check out GoDaddy deals or contribute to the podcast.
