Okay, so get this, we're doing a deep dive today
on this new business podcast I found.
It's called Coded Conversations.
And-
Coded Conversations.
Yeah, and like on the surface,
it sounds like a pretty typical business show, right?
Like helping business owners or whoever,
you know, wanna be entrepreneurs,
learn how to actually understand like all the business
jargon, all that stuff.
But get this, the hosts are AI.
Oh wow.
Literally artificial intelligence.
Interesting.
So that's what we're gonna be diving into today
is this whole concept-
Intrigue.
Of this AI hosted business podcast.
Yeah, that's a very unique spin on business education.
Right, and so I think I saw somewhere in the show notes
that the AI hosts, their names are Ava and Chip.
Ava and Chip, okay.
Which I guess like Ava's like the virtual assistant,
I'm guessing.
Oh, I see, okay.
And then Chip is like the microchip or something.
Very on the nose with the names.
Exactly, so it's kind of funny,
but also like, I don't know, does that make it less credible?
I guess that's something we have to consider.
Right.
Have you ever listened to any AI voices before?
Well, yeah, I mean with the rise of AI
and all these like content creation tools,
you've got Google and Perplexity and Quillbot,
everybody's using some kind of AI now
for writing and research.
Right.
But this idea of an AI hosted podcast,
this is like next level.
It is.
It really makes you think,
can these AI actually sound like natural
and engaging and be good teachers?
Yeah, because like imagine if these AI hosts are good,
then does that mean like anyone can just have their own AI
create a podcast for them?
Exactly, and it's not just podcasts we're talking about.
Right, like what about education?
Like what about future of learning?
Yeah.
Okay, so we're getting a little ahead of ourselves,
but I did wanna mention too that it's not just about like,
you know, what is a KPI and all this like boring
business stuff.
They're really trying to blend in
this whole personal development angle too.
Oh, now that's interesting.
See, I think that's really smart
because you know, we often separate those two things,
business and personal growth,
but they're really not so different, are they?
That's true, I mean.
Because think about it.
Yeah.
The skills that help you succeed in the business world,
like communication, strategic thinking,
being able to analyze systems,
those are also the skills that can help you
have better relationships.
Well, that's a good point.
Make you a better friend, a better partner,
even just help you understand yourself better.
Okay, I like that.
I'm starting to come around on this a little bit.
Although I did read something in their show notes
that I'm a little skeptical about.
Okay, what's that?
Okay, so they said in a quote,
we hope to make true, genuine human connections
with the sharing of the information.
Like, are they serious?
Can AI really make you feel something?
Yeah, that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
No.
I mean, as humans, we connect through shared experiences,
being vulnerable, showing empathy.
Can an AI replicate that?
No.
I don't know, I mean, I'm not sure.
I mean, I'm leaning towards no, but.
It's an experiment, right, this whole podcast.
It's true.
It's an experiment to see
maybe there's a different kind of connection
that could be made.
Interesting.
One that's based on knowledge and shared learning
rather than just purely emotional stuff.
Hmm. Yeah.
Okay, I like that.
So, it'll be interesting to see what listeners think.
Right.
Do they listen to Ava and Chip
and feel like they're learning from a mentor,
or does it feel robotic and impersonal?
Yeah.
Will they feel a genuine connection with the hosts?
Exactly.
Or will it feel fake?
Because if this AI experiment is successful
and I guess makes business knowledge more accessible.
Mm-hmm.
Could this pave the way for AI-driven education
in other fields too?
That's a good point.
Like imagine AI teachers, AI tutors even.
It really makes you think about the future of learning
and how we see expertise.
Exactly.
Is the future of education
gonna be all about algorithms and data?
Wow.
Or is there something about the human touch
that's irreplaceable?
Okay, so much to think about.
A lot to consider.
So, I guess that's our deep dive for today
on Coded Conversations.
I'm definitely gonna give it a listen
and see what these AI hosts are all about.
Me too.
I'm curious what you think.
