Ever wondered if AI is the new Picasso or if it's just rewriting the rules of creativity? Join me in my episode to explore how generative AI is shaking up the creativity world and pushing the boundaries of innovation in software engineering. In this thought-provoking episode, I embark on a journey to explore one of the most profound questions of our time: "Can machines really be creative?" As generative AI applications like ChatGPT and Co-Pilot push the boundaries of what technology can achieve, we delve into the heart of what creativity truly means. Join me as I discuss the nature of creativity itself, examining how imagination fuels the extraordinary capabilities of the human brain. We'll uncover the astonishing ways in which human intelligence operates, contrasting it with the abilities of large language models and why these models, despite their advancements, still fall short of achieving human-level general intelligence. Throughout this episode, we challenge the notion that AI could ever fully replicate the depth of human creativity and intelligence. And finally, stay tuned until the end for an exciting update about our Patreon community, where you can get even more involved in the conversation.

In this episode, we're peeling back the layers of AI, focusing on the tech behind the 'Hype,' and exploring the fascinating landscape of what it means to be human when we're sharing the digital stage with AI, particularly our good old friend, ChatGPT. I wanted to discuss topics like: 🧑‍💻 What Makes Us Human? Is there a distinct line between humans and machines, or is it all just a big blur? We'll tackle this question and explore how AI challenges our perceptions of humanity and the boundaries of our existence in the digital age. 🧠 What is Consciousness? We start our journey by probing the age-old question: What is consciousness, and can machines ever truly possess it? We'll delve into the tantalizing possibility of artificial consciousness. Buckle up, it's going to get a bit philosophical! 💻 The Tech Behind ChatGPT Ever wondered what's going on behind the screens of ChatGPT? I'll take you through the technical intricacies of how this AI marvel works, from natural language processing to deep learning architectures. 🔌 AI and Our Digital Society Our chat wouldn't be complete without discussing the societal implications. We'll discuss the impact of AI, from ethics and privacy to the potential for a harmonious coexistence between humans and AI. Also as I promised, there are few of the books I referred and thought worth sharing: Genius Makers - Cade Metz What Computers Still Can’t Do - Hubert Dreyfus The Alignment Problem - Brian Christian The Road to Conscious Machines - Michael Wooldridge Get ready to have your mind twisted, expanded, and maybe even a little glitched. Let's dig deep into the tech that's shaking our world!

“We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done” - Alan TuringIn today’s episode of Glitch we will be talking about this great mathematician Alan Turing and why he is known as the Father of modern computers.Turing's legacy is huge. We live in a world full of computers, thanks to the work of Alan Turing. The basic principle of the modern computer—the idea of controlling the machine's operations by means of programming instructions and storing it in the computer's memory—was conceived by Alan Turing.Turning machines are the blueprint of the modern day computers, anything from your desktop to your smart phones or the computers in the international space station are based on the Turing’s model. Anything that can be computed can in principle be done by Turning machine. If a Turning machine can’t compute it, it’s not computable. Even though the model was conceived more than 90 years ago, Currently there are no working model for computation is more powerful than Turing’s. Reach out to me @ https://www.ivkrm.com/Support the show (https://paypal.me/ivkrm?locale.x=en_GB)

This is a freestyle episode I wanted to have and call it the final episode of season one. I thought I would talk more on my personal side, what I do for a living, how it all started and why I chose to record a podcast and what were my expectations when I started this podcast. Also I wanted to have a few questions from my audience answered in this episode. I posted about this in my various social media platforms and I have quite a few interesting questions. You can jump on to the time stamps for specific questions if you are interested :) Why do people who code always prefer dark and text based interactions, can't you guys develop your own fancy graphics user interfaces and make your life easier?

Since human beings evolved, currency has been an important part of our lives. Now as technology improves more advanced, more people are buying things online and using credit cards. We are at a point where we don't see our money anymore. Now it all converges to an entry in a spreadsheet. In this episode I want to talk about where exactly crypto currency fits in with the financial bubble. As a tech geek, it’s the concept of Blockchain which is the key technology behind the crypto coins like bitcoins! What exactly are block chains? How does crypto-mining help in earning money? How this is going to be an disruptive technology? Join me in this episode to answer all the above questions.This is not an episode where I would be discussing the investment options on crypto currencies and which currencies you should be investing on.Support the show (https://paypal.me/ivkrm?locale.x=en_GB)

They are everywhere!Algorithms are in the social media apps we use everyday, in search engines, even in dating apps!In this episode, we will talk about what they actually are? How they work ?  Who makes them?Should we be worried about them and can they think for themselves!We can’t ask for change or know that there is something that needs changing if we don’t understand it. Nor can we have reasonable conversations to ask for things to change without a basic understanding of things.We don’t need an algorithm free future. But we can start to confront our own, very human, biases as we code and create it!Following the below link let's Buzzsprout know I sent you, also gets you a $20 Amazon gift card if you sign up for a paid plan, and helps support our show.https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1245728Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
