1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:01.960
<v Speaker 1>It's time for tech talk.

2
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 2>The machines are getting smarter. This is tech Talk, brought

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 2>to you by Skynet.

4
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're fresh out of luck.

5
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 3>If you are, I have not yet purchased something, or

6
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 3>bought a thing, or written a poem or whatever. However

7
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 3>people celebrate Valentine's Day, Mark Saltzman, our tech guru, is

8
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 3>joining us to talk about how the world of technology

9
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 3>may be able to help our love life.

10
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm your love guru today, not your tech guru.

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I want to say that out loud,

12
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 3>but that's fine, Mark.

13
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 1>How's it going?

14
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 4>Not bad things? I guess Shannon is off again today.

15
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Let me guess the dentist.

16
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Yes. As a matter of fact, it.

17
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Is sensing a theme here.

18
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 3>She got a punch card. I think the next one

19
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 3>is free, so good good.

20
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 4>That'll help out at the when she opens up her

21
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 4>credit card bills.

22
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thanks for having me.

23
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, it's Thursday, so we like to talk

24
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 4>tech and I figured, with tomorrow being Valentine's Day, to

25
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 4>change hats from tech guru to love guru, or the

26
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 4>two can be the same. I can wear both hats

27
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 4>because yes, you can leverage AI to hop out, or

28
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 4>if you're having a Gallantine's Date date tonight with your girlfriends,

29
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 4>you know instead of Valentine's Day.

30
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 2>That's a becoming a bigger trend.

31
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 4>I've got some ideas. Yeah, there's actually there was a

32
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 4>great article. I just want to tip my hat both

33
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 4>of them to cnet dot com. They published an article

34
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 4>about some great ways that AI can help you plan

35
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 4>a great Valentine's Day. So the easy sort of the

36
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 4>low hanging fruit is that you can use these free

37
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 4>AI image generation tools to print out a custom card.

38
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 4>So you don't want to give it on flimsy paper.

39
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 4>You want good stock. But you can create a beautiful

40
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 4>royalty free image and the words and even ask the

41
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 4>AI to help you with words. And you know, if

42
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 4>the cards that you're looking at at your wherever, your CVS,

43
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 4>your your local store are lame because as all the

44
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>good ones are taken, you can print out your own customized,

45
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 4>personalized Valentine's Day card. So you can definitely take advantage

46
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 4>of some of those tools. But if you are looking

47
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 4>to have a good date night, there are a couple

48
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:20.439
<v Speaker 4>of dedicated AI platforms. One is called four lovebirds dot com.

49
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 4>That's the number four where it's basically an AI date

50
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 4>idea generator, so it doesn't have to be for Valentine's Day,

51
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 4>but you type in where you are and it'll give

52
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 4>you some suggestions. So using La as an example, it

53
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 4>gave me everything from a sunset picnic at Griffith Observatory

54
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 4>and it gives you a description of what's going on there,

55
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 4>a dinner at a rooftop restaurant, so you can have

56
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 4>a nice panoramic view of the La skyline if the rain.

57
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't impede your view as it might tonight.

58
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, strolling along Santa monicap here of course at tend

59
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 4>to live jazz performance. So you can even specify your

60
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 4>budget with some of these, like like Chat, GPT or

61
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Google Gemini. You can say for under one hundred dollars

62
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, right, and it'll give you some ideas. Another

63
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 4>one Gary is called the Dateidea dot Com, same idea,

64
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 4>but you don't have to say where you are.

65
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>You can if you want.

66
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 4>There are a couple of things you can click, like

67
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 4>third date or meal based or indoor date which might

68
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 4>be ideal.

69
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>For the rain.

70
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 4>And then it basically gives you a bunch of ideas

71
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 4>and links as well. So there are these free tools

72
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 4>that you can leverage and get very specific. You can

73
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 4>say between this hour and this hour, I'd like to

74
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 4>take my partner on a date or within this budget

75
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 4>or in this area, and it'll it'll do a great.

76
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Job for you.

77
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 4>So planning your Valentine's Day, printing out a custom personalized card,

78
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 4>these are all great ways. And of course, as you've

79
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 4>hinted that off the top, even having it write a

80
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 4>poem for you, feed it some information like where you met,

81
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 4>how long you've been together, what you know, maybe your

82
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Valentine's dates, favorite hobbies are, and it'll print out probably

83
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 4>probably a very cheesy poem, but it'll do it for you.

84
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, you're a tech guy.

85
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 3>How would you react if you knew that missus Mark

86
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Saltzman used AI to write the card expressing her heartfelt

87
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 3>love for the partner of her life.

88
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 2>That's a good question.

89
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I'd be too offended, because there's still

90
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 4>effort needed to help you write it. I mean, unless

91
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 4>you're gifted and you know how to write a go

92
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 4>a good poem, I don't know. It could and if

93
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 4>it's really cheesy, it could actually be charming. But yeah,

94
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking at the glass half full here. To our

95
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 4>listeners who are thinking, am I going to get in

96
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 4>more trouble by using AI, well you can even say

97
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 4>to the AI, don't make it sound like AI, like

98
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 4>don't forget like I think we talked about this the

99
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 4>other day. If you're asking for your AI to explain

100
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 4>something to you, you can say, explain it to me

101
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 4>like a a ten year old, or explain it to

102
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 4>me that doesn't sound so much like AI, and it'll

103
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 4>actually do a better job. So if you don't want

104
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 4>to be honest with your significant other, then yes, you

105
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 4>can try to pass it off as if it's yours

106
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 4>or just omit the fact that you leverage day I.

107
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 4>But hey, your your partner may have been doing the

108
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 4>same to you and you didn't realize it. I mean,

109
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 4>if you're getting a custom card that says your name

110
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 4>and some other personalized information of personalized image, then obviously

111
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 4>you use DAI.

112
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Why not? You know, why not just lean into it

113
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 2>a little bit? Right there?

114
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>You go, right Valentine card, Like I'm a sixth grader.

115
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 4>But if you use deep Seek from China, then now

116
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 4>the CCP knows every you.

117
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 2>And your partner, So just be aware about that.

118
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 3>Just another information dump that they've got there, go exactly

119
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:38.160

<v Speaker 1>Well, enjoy your time with your wife for Valentine's Day.

<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much to you, Thank you, you bet.

122
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.360
