Fake Brad Pitt and why AI means we will lose our jobs

In episode 34 of The AI Fix, our hosts watch in horror as a vacuum cleaner sprouts a robotic arm and tiny little robot legs, a mind-reading helps a man chat up some French students, a robot dog runs as fast as Usain Bolt, and AI podcast hosts get impatient with their listeners. Meanwhile Graham isn’t tempted by NVIDIA’s $3000 supercomputer, and Mark explains his emergency manoeuvre for avoiding karaoke.

Graham shares a heartbreaking tale of a French woman’s encounter with someone who owns a copy of Photoshop, and Mark looks into AI's voracious appetite for jobs.
