Michael, Michael and Andy are back in studio with an AI and robot powered episode. The co-hosts start things off with the world’s “most responsible” AI chatbot, Goody-2. According to the website, this chatbot is so safely constructed and curated that it will not answer anything that may remotely be conceived as problematic or controversial. Moving along to another fit for purpose large language model (LLM), the team considers Chess-GPT. Andy shares a fun Spotify playlist centered on playing chess with Diana Ross.

The team discusses the just-announced OpenAI text-to-video capabilities of Sora. Michael R recalls his paper on creating movies directly from textual screenplays. Also on the same general theme, Apple Research have shared details on Keyframer, a generative AI tool that allows 2D objects to be animated.

Switching gears to robots, the team continues with the AI theme and highlights an article by the Hustle with several robots aimed at helping children. The very cute sounding (and looking) Snorble, Grok rocket and Doll take center stage. These are followed up by the humanoid robot from MagicLab piercing a marshmallow and roasting it in a video.

The co-hosts wrap up this episode with an all-inclusive article from the Verge calling out that the metaverse is not dead yet.
