===== Artificial Intelligence Podcast =====

AI has slowly been proving a useful companion in internet research.  The latest speech and image generated via LLMs have leapt over the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley|uncanny valley]] into a queasy spot where one doubts the value of simple human analytical striving.  
The following is podcast was generated using [[https://notebooklm.google.com/|NotebookLM]], which intakes a website and spits out a perky chat between two young robots.  The prompt used was just "Discuss the history and development of the mountain bike."  The data source was [[https://www.mtbtimeline.com/wiki/start|mtbtimeline.com]].  Just two minutes of effort and ten minutes of waiting for a result.  A first draft.

Newly minted cycling history experts, image generated via [[https://chatgpt.com/|ChatGPT's Dall-E 2]]((Where are the derailleurs on that cruiser bike mounted on the wall?  Each attempt to arm-twist Dall-E into adding gears would cause it to transform the bike into an electric guitar.  Getting rid of the headphones was harder.  ChatGPT knows best.  ))
