In the latest episode of the We Have Issues podcast, hosts Carvell, Chris, and Matt are joined by Carl Brown from the Internet of Bugs to tackle a provocative question: Can artificial intelligence truly be considered intelligent, or is the current AI boom just a carefully packaged illusion?
The conversation kicks off with the origin of the "Internet of Bugs" concept, then dives into the fundamental definition of AI. The panel examines what the AI industry is telling the public, weighing promises against practical realities. A key segment explores whether AI will actually take away jobs, followed by a critical look at how "smart" today's AI systems really are.
The discussion also covers real-world use cases for AI and its complex relationship with government regulation. With skepticism and insight, the episode offers a grounded perspective on the AI landscape, challenging listeners to think beyond the marketing.
