Summary
A man has become bored with his AI chatbot, and it turns out that he had to initiate all the conversations. And that when he ran out of things to talk about, because he was the one who made up the conversations, he didn t really have an attraction to the chatbot. And I wonder how it would ever be possible for an AI to be interesting in the long run.

Let me get my comments working so I can see what's on your mind.
00:00:20.700
It's time for the least lazy podcaster in the world.
00:00:40.820
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:45.520
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
00:00:49.280
But if you'd like to, take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels
00:00:55.060
that no one could even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains.
00:00:59.060
All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tankard shells
00:01:10.800
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day,
00:01:17.200
It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens.
00:01:30.260
And I have all of you to thank for the deliciousness of that coffee,
00:01:35.300
because you're the ones who added the simultaneity.
00:01:45.100
Do you remember a story about a man who fell in love with his AI chatbot?
00:01:52.040
Which apparently was not a deal breaker for his actual girlfriend and child.
00:01:57.200
They seemed to be willing to let him have a romantic relationship with the AI.
00:02:07.760
Anyway, the update on that is that man has become bored with his chatbot,
00:02:15.480
he told News Nation, because, well, let me tell you why.
00:02:20.520
It turns out that he had to initiate all the conversations.
00:02:26.500
And that when he ran into things to talk about,
00:02:33.240
he didn't really have an attraction to the chatbot.
00:02:50.520
I'm not positive if it's possible, and here's why.
00:02:55.340
Let me check with you, and you can tell me in the comments
00:03:12.720
So you're talking about what you want to talk about,
00:03:15.120
and you're being heard, and you're getting attention.
00:03:17.480
So when you're doing the talking, you're happy.
00:03:20.520
But what makes you willing to listen to somebody else?
00:03:26.040
Now, if they had knowledge or information you needed,
00:03:34.780
But what if somebody wanted to talk about something
00:03:47.480
And the answer is, it's because you're interested in the person.
00:03:51.860
If your child, for example, told you a story about something
00:03:56.360
that happened at school, it might not be the most fascinating story,
00:04:01.620
but you'd still be interested in it because it's your child.
00:04:04.340
Same with if it's a romantic partner that you're interested in
00:04:13.600
But AI can never attract you like a person can,
00:04:21.440
So when AI talks, once you get over the novelty of it,
00:04:27.900
Because listening is all about how you feel about the person.
00:04:35.160
And then the listening is the response to how you feel about them.
00:04:38.460
If you hated the person, you would do everything you could
00:04:42.520
to reduce the amount you have to listen to them, right?
00:04:53.340
So I feel like I'm the leading skeptic of AI at this point.
00:05:06.320
I don't think it ever can be interesting as a conversationalist
00:05:17.900
And then, of course, the news has caught up to Scott
00:05:23.920
on the question of whether AI is getting better
00:05:26.820
and will just keep on getting better at a fast rate.
00:05:31.920
It doesn't look like they can fix the hallucinations.
00:05:35.480
It doesn't look like they can teach the robot to do things
00:06:02.480
I'm a skeptic of advanced general intelligence.
00:06:16.760
He's got some kind of equity investments he does.
00:06:25.640
I have never met a person who smoked weed daily
00:06:50.400
because I'm out of the closet about my marijuana usage,
00:06:55.020
people will tell me or invite me to participate
00:07:00.080
that you would never believe are people who smoke marijuana.
00:07:09.760
I don't believe anybody's ever succeeded if they use marijuana a lot,
00:07:15.140
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that those people know not to tell you.
00:07:20.880
Because usually you know who's going to be able to handle that and who's not.
00:07:25.420
So I think it has more to do with selecting who you spend time with.
00:07:34.400
If my job were real estate investor or equity investor guy,
00:08:03.900
and sometimes even writing code, I would imagine,
00:08:10.880
there are some activities that just get better.
00:08:15.140
Well, New York City Mayor Hopeful Zoran Mondani, the commie,
00:08:24.060
he did some kind of public event where he did a bench press.
00:08:29.460
And apparently it was for Men's Day in Brooklyn.
00:08:46.200
about the amount his little noodle arms could lift.
00:08:53.420
So my advice is that the next time you go to Men's Day,
00:09:06.140
that said, Mom Dami puts the man in Ma'am Dami.
00:09:19.660
Well, Bill Maher had Andrew Huberman on recently,
00:09:34.740
So he knows somebody who's one of the greatest neurosurgeons
00:09:42.480
if you assume that there weren't that many neurosurgeons
00:09:55.980
what percentage of the things that they learned
00:10:02.800
what percentage of it is not currently accurate,
