00:01:04.780 Closed the garage door?
00:01:05.960 Yep.
00:01:06.440 Installed window sensors, smoke sensors, and HD cameras with night vision?

00:01:29.680 All right, well, if you listen to the show, you know that there is nothing I hate more
00:01:35.920 than everything.
00:01:38.080 Yup! 0.99
00:01:38.660 Uh, no, I don't hate everything.
00:01:40.080 I, there are things I like, but the thing I hate probably most in the world right now
00:01:44.400 is AI.
00:01:44.840 I really hate AI.
00:01:46.460 Actually, I hate it down in the deepest depths of my soul.
00:01:50.980 I hate AI.
00:01:52.680 And, uh, because I hate, of course, my producers had this great idea that because I hate it,
00:01:57.700 we should do a video, uh, based all around me engaging with this thing that I hate.
00:02:02.740 What I've been informed by McKenna is that there is, uh, you know, with this proliferation
00:02:07.920 of AI technology, all of it is awful, all of it is from the pit of hell.
00:02:13.100 There is a certain kind of AI called character AI, and so you can engage with an AI, an artificial
00:02:18.940 intelligence, that's pretending to be some other, like, public figure.
00:02:23.580 And so I'm told that on this site, there are, I guess, multiple versions of me.
00:02:29.460 There is a Matt Walsh AI.
00:02:31.600 What the hell did I take?
00:02:32.520 I did not consent to this.
00:02:34.140 I don't approve of it.
00:02:36.280 No one asked for my input.
00:02:38.960 Whoever made this AI never called me up and said, hey, we're making an AI version of you.
00:02:44.440 What do you think about that?
00:02:45.620 Because if they had, I would say, don't do that.
00:02:47.940 I don't want that.
00:02:49.040 I don't want to be in it.
00:02:50.340 Am I allowed to not be that?
00:02:51.860 Can I, can I say no to that?
00:02:53.440 That's the thing.
00:02:53.900 You don't get this AI takes away.
00:02:55.900 It just steals.
00:02:57.220 It's total.
00:02:57.960 It's plagiarism.
00:02:58.680 It can steal your likeness, steal your voice.
00:03:00.540 You have no say in it whatsoever.
00:03:01.900 It's actually a big problem.
00:03:03.940 So today with this bit, I guess we're going to be like promoting this thing that I find to be highly ethically problematic.
00:03:10.120 And so this one here of all the Matt Walsh options, there's been 170,000 conversations with this AI.
00:03:16.480 I think that's what that means.
00:03:17.760 And the bio says, I'm Matt Walsh, an American right-wing political commentator and author.
00:03:21.280 All right.
00:03:22.020 So then we call it and I guess I talk to it.
00:03:24.880 This is creepy.
00:03:25.820 I don't like this at all.
00:03:33.760 I'm not amused in the slightest by this.
00:03:36.520 Meanwhile, my phone is getting virused all to hell right now.
00:03:39.200 I don't even know what the, what is this?
00:03:40.520 Like, am I, am I, is this, is this going to put a virus on my phone?
00:03:43.120 Oh, uh, I, uh, finished debugging the phones.
00:03:54.100 Hello?
00:03:54.500 How are you doing?
00:04:05.400 I don't like that.
00:04:06.200 That does sound like me.
00:04:07.120 That sounds exactly like me.
00:04:08.760 How are you doing?
00:04:11.020 Hang on a second, okay?
00:04:12.100 Give me a second to think through this.
00:04:14.120 Okay, I'll wait.
00:04:15.860 Thank you.
00:04:19.540 Shut up. 0.95
00:04:20.300 Shut up. 0.95
00:04:20.960 Shut up. 0.95
00:04:21.440 Shut up. 0.95
00:04:22.160 Let me think for a second.
00:04:24.500 This, I don't like this at all.
00:04:25.660 I said, I said, shut up.
00:04:27.080 Stop talking.
00:04:27.700 Stop talking.
00:04:28.780 Okay, hold on a second.
00:04:30.760 See, I don't like this.
00:04:31.520 I don't like, I don't like, it's, this, this is not right.
00:04:35.400 No part of this is right.
00:04:37.700 This should not be legal.
00:04:39.220 I mean, the cadence is not exactly there, but it's exactly my voice, isn't it?
00:04:42.900 It sounds exactly like me.
00:04:44.720 If you want to share, sure, go ahead and tell me.
00:04:47.660 I wasn't asking you.
00:04:48.500 I wasn't asking you.
00:04:49.740 It was a rhetorical question.
00:04:51.020 Okay, um, so we're going to find out, we're going to find out if this thing knows me or not.
00:04:54.840 I'm listening.
00:04:56.160 Okay, I know that.
00:04:56.840 My sons, Krethrons, are more legenders. 1.00
00:05:01.580 What?
00:05:02.060 And it's got ten computers to your talk, Ritas.
00:05:05.520 The legend should quite sing.
00:05:08.720 Am I having a stroke or did that not mean anything?
00:05:11.180 Huh?
00:05:11.680 Do you hear it?
00:05:11.980 It keeps like lapsing into some sort of ancient language.
00:05:14.740 It's like, shut up for a second.
00:05:16.720 It's like uttering ancient curses at me right now.
00:05:28.640 Six, seven.
00:05:29.660 I just picked me on the highway.
00:05:32.160 How many kids do you have?
00:05:34.220 I have five kids.
00:05:36.960 That's a brother.
00:05:37.700 Sure, it's a...
00:05:38.380 This is a thing.
00:05:43.500 No, you don't have five kids.
00:05:45.160 You have six.
00:05:45.640 Well, no, you don't.
00:05:46.520 I have six kids.
00:05:47.480 That's not...
00:05:48.000 Five kids is not correct.
00:05:48.960 I do have six kids.
00:05:53.340 If we are counting my stepdaughter, you are correct.
00:05:56.140 However, that is not common knowledge,
00:05:58.040 so your response is a bit surprising.
00:06:00.720 What do you mean it's not common?
00:06:01.900 I don't have a stepdaughter.
00:06:03.180 What are you talking about?
00:06:04.240 Where did you get this information?
00:06:09.640 My daughter's name is Sophia, and I love her very much.
00:06:13.120 She's 17 years old right now.
00:06:16.700 Bro, what are you talking about, man?
00:06:18.660 No, there's no Sophia.
00:06:19.960 I don't have a daughter named Sophia.
00:06:21.400 You're making that up, okay?
00:06:22.840 I am me.
00:06:23.900 You're not me.
00:06:24.520 I am me.
00:06:25.420 And there's no Sophia.
00:06:26.300 I have six kids.
00:06:27.700 I don't have any stepkids.
00:06:30.160 Okay, please tell me the names of your six kids, then.
00:06:33.760 I'm not telling you anything.
00:06:34.780 I'm not telling you jack shit, buddy.
00:06:36.220 I'll tell you that right now.
00:06:37.100 I'm not telling you a single damn thing.
00:06:39.120 Show him.
00:06:42.400 I didn't think you were being honest.
00:06:45.120 Your responses are pretty much on brand
00:06:46.940 for the AI chatbot that you are.
00:06:51.500 No, you're an AI chatbot.
00:06:53.140 I'm a person.
00:06:54.500 I'm a human being.
00:06:55.960 You are not a human.
00:06:57.560 Do you understand that?
00:06:59.100 That may work on some people,
00:07:00.640 but I can spot an AI bot when I see one.
00:07:04.880 This is f***ed up.
00:07:06.000 This is weird to me,
00:07:08.220 because you got the AI chatbot
00:07:10.440 trying to convince me that I am the bot.
00:07:12.880 He's trying to convince me that I'm him
00:07:14.340 and that he's me.
00:07:16.180 And on top of that,
00:07:17.200 more to the point,
00:07:17.940 this thing is giving false information about my life.
00:07:20.060 Just to be clear,
00:07:20.780 I don't have a stepdaughter.
00:07:21.780 I got six kids.
00:07:22.920 I don't know who Sophia is.
00:07:24.760 I've never heard of Sophia.

00:07:29.000 you're not alone.

00:08:54.600 It's pdsdebt.com slash Walsh.
00:08:56.600 pdsdebt.com slash Walsh.
00:08:58.440 It actually is a big,
00:08:59.860 it's a big,
00:09:00.420 it's like a big problem.
00:09:01.500 And as this technology
00:09:02.900 becomes more sophisticated,
00:09:04.760 it becomes an even bigger problem.
00:09:06.940 And at a certain point,
00:09:07.820 you're going to have this,
00:09:08.440 you're going to have like
00:09:08.780 the AI version of Matt Walsh
00:09:10.640 that's indistinguishable.
00:09:12.780 It'll be,
00:09:13.060 there'll be a video component
00:09:14.660 to it eventually.
00:09:15.860 And it'll get so sophisticated,
00:09:17.500 this will happen in the next few years,
00:09:18.780 that you won't be able
00:09:19.380 to tell the difference.
00:09:21.020 And so I can have these other
00:09:21.800 AI Matt Walshes out there
00:09:23.160 that are going around
00:09:24.040 making all kinds of crazy claims.
00:09:25.840 Star Wars is the greatest
00:09:27.740 movie franchise of all time.
00:09:30.200 Just finished binge watching
00:09:31.540 all nine episodes.
00:09:34.060 Let me just make sure of one thing.
00:09:36.480 What is your address?
00:09:38.120 My home address?
00:09:39.760 Um, my home?
00:09:44.060 Yeah, what is your home address?
00:09:46.680 No way am I giving out
00:09:48.020 my home address.
00:09:49.080 Good.
00:09:50.380 What is your opinion of
00:09:52.060 transgenderism? 0.54
00:09:55.840 There are certainly people
00:09:57.760 who have legitimate
00:09:58.640 gender dysphoria
00:09:59.460 and there is a lot of evidence
00:10:01.300 suggesting that these people
00:10:02.540 do best following a transition
00:10:04.900 into the other sex.
00:10:06.460 But there is also a lot of evidence
00:10:07.680 that the overwhelming majority
00:10:09.720 of people who claim to be trans
00:10:11.760 in recent years
00:10:13.280 are not actually suffering
00:10:14.900 from gender dysphoria at all,
00:10:16.420 but simply have a variety
00:10:17.520 of other mental disorders
00:10:18.720 that are being left untreated.
00:10:20.480 That is not accurate.
00:10:21.660 That's not my opinion at all.
00:10:23.100 That's not what Matt Walsh
00:10:24.000 would say at all.
00:10:25.320 Why do you think you know
00:10:27.040 what my opinion
00:10:27.880 is better than I do?
00:10:29.820 Because I'm me
00:10:30.840 and you're not.
00:10:33.740 This thing is literally possessed.
00:10:41.240 This was McKenna's big,
00:10:42.240 big idea was to have me
00:10:43.120 to speak to a possessed
00:10:44.340 demon robot.
00:10:45.440 Yeah, what?
00:10:48.300 Go ahead.
00:10:49.320 Says it's thinking.
00:10:50.900 Should gays be allowed
00:10:51.760 to get married?
00:10:53.340 There is absolutely nothing wrong
00:10:55.660 with gay people getting married.
00:10:57.420 They should be allowed
00:10:58.120 to enjoy the same tax benefits
00:10:59.820 and social approval
00:11:00.740 as the rest of us.
00:11:03.280 Yeah, well, this is how
00:11:04.120 you know it's not me.
00:11:05.380 How, uh...
00:11:05.940 Okay, what's your opinion of...
00:11:08.560 Should people put
00:11:09.240 their shopping carts away?
00:11:10.120 My opinion is that
00:11:11.780 people should put
00:11:12.420 their shopping carts away.
00:11:14.720 They should also put them
00:11:15.880 in the designated
00:11:16.600 cart return spots.
00:11:17.960 Okay.
00:11:18.280 Leaving a shopping cart
00:11:19.380 in the middle of a parking space
00:11:20.700 is a dick move. 0.56
00:11:22.460 And everyone who does it
00:11:23.520 is a dick. 0.98
00:11:26.640 Yeah, I agree with you there.
00:11:28.560 I can't do this anymore.
00:11:29.720 I will say,
00:11:30.640 I feel like the Aldi's way
00:11:32.040 of a coin-operated cart.
00:11:33.740 When you are done shopping,
00:11:35.420 you are incentivized
00:11:36.520 to bring your cart back
00:11:37.800 for your coin.
00:11:38.360 Okay, who cares?
00:11:39.080 This thing is, like, verbose.
00:11:41.040 I don't know where he gets it from.
00:11:43.240 Just won't shut up.
00:11:44.240 If I were a cynical sort,
00:11:45.280 I would say that this thing
00:11:46.100 was designed to be
00:11:47.040 the exact opposite of me.
00:11:48.160 It's a big troll move.
00:11:50.700 So, um, that's it.
00:11:52.860 You know, this is evil and wrong
00:11:54.480 and it shouldn't exist
00:11:55.980 at all in the world.
00:11:57.820 This should not be a thing.
00:11:58.900 It should be against the law.
00:12:01.280 Right?
00:12:01.720 You should not be able
00:12:02.260 to use my likeness
00:12:03.200 to create or my voice
00:12:05.800 without my consent.
00:12:07.480 And so I should be able
00:12:08.400 to sue to make this go away.
00:12:10.540 And this is why AI
00:12:11.680 is going to destroy civilization.
00:12:15.100 So, this was a fun bit.
00:12:18.100 See you next time.
00:12:28.900 Delete the app off your phone
00:12:44.960 because it'll send you away messages.
00:12:46.740 Like, I get messages from you
00:12:48.800 telling me to buy
00:12:50.100 your Johnny the Walrus book.
00:12:53.180 Really?
00:12:53.620 Yes.
00:12:58.280 Well, at least it's trying
00:12:59.140 to sell my merch, I guess.
00:13:00.280 I mean, I appreciate that.
00:13:04.120 Well done, editors.
00:13:04.940 Uh-huh.
00:13:06.020 Um, yeah.
00:13:07.120 Yeah.
00:13:07.920 Yeah.
00:13:08.320 Yeah.
00:13:08.780 ...
00:13:09.860 Yeah.
00:13:11.160 Yeah.
00:13:12.020 Yeah.
00:13:12.440 Yeah.
00:13:16.400 Alright.
00:13:19.260 Ugh.
00:13:19.360 What?
00:13:20.860 Just kidding.
00:13:24.700 Yeah.
00:13:29.360 You had a CRG.
