Description

In this episode of the Polymath Podcast,  ⁨@KaylaBarnesLentz⁩  and  ⁨@HarperCarrollAI⁩  discuss one of the most fascinating and sometimes unsettling frontiers in tech: the function, future, and fears surrounding Artificial Intelligence. We start with the fundamentals, break down complex concepts, and address the industry's biggest challenges.

​Beyond the hype, the conversation tackles how models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok actually work, why they are limited, and where true, human-level AI (AGI) still has a long way to go. 

We also confront the major public fears around job loss and energy consumption with a balance of expert insight and data.

​We explore:

  • ​The fundamental difference between AI and Machine Learning.  

  • ​The "mystical property" of Emergent Behavior and why it makes AI the "Ultimate Polymath".  

  • ​Why models like Claude are great for creative work but should be avoided for fact-finding.  

  • ​The critical issue of AI Hallucinations (and how even an expert was fooled).  

  • ​How AI is a stochastic (probability-based) system, not a deterministic one.  

  • ​Why Large Language Models are NOT AGI.  

  • ​The truth about AI’s energy consumption and its role as an optimizer.  

  • ​Why the fear of job loss is a shift toward human creativity and entrepreneurship.  

  • ​The history of technological advancement, comparing AI to the invention of electricity.
