This is our podcast song. It isn't very long. Hello. Hello. How are you today, everybody?
Laughing with Gingers Intro
00:01:01
Speaker
Thanks for tuning into Laughing with Ginger's. The podcast where two feisty redheads with loud lash or crazy stories play games and spread Salinas enjoy.
00:01:11
Speaker
That little currently being stalked by a cat voicing here over there is my partner in crime on the Laughing with Ginger's podcast, Christina Curry. And that is Sarah Alopin, AKA Prankster Monk, and my co-host of Laughing with Ginger's. I know, I have a kitty behind me. You'll have to swing over to YouTube to see it, everybody. It looks like Lennox is stalking her.
00:01:38
Speaker
He's not. He doesn't even care about me, but it does look like it. That's so funny. All right. Well, what are we getting into today, Christina?
AI Fails in Marketing
00:01:50
Speaker
OK, so we're getting into AI. Well, I brought AI fails in marketing because, you know, AI doesn't always get it right. Am I right? And you brought one of my favorite games, which is auto complete.
00:02:08
Speaker
We'll call it search engine autocomplete. I don't know if we can call it the G, the you Google eyes term. I don't know either legally, maybe, but I don't know. I mean, we did it the last time, so hopefully it's fine. Either way, I brought autocompletes for AI and I'm going to have you guess.
00:02:33
Speaker
what you think the autocomplete is, and if it is anywhere in the top list, you will receive a ... You know what? You're going to get an O this time. Ooh. Just an O. Just an O. None of the other letters. Nope. I'm going to call it a donut.
00:02:57
Speaker
All right, Homer Simpson. Goodness. You want to go first or you want me to go first? Yeah, I can totally go first. All right. Relying too heavily on AI to churn out content unchecked is really a terrible idea and the aftermath can be very messy.
00:03:22
Speaker
So there's a really big marketing mistake on Amazon where products ended up with the description straight out of the open AI error message. So shoppers were greeted with chat GPT mistakes like, I cannot fulfill that request. Literally next to a couch, it says, I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request. It goes against open AI use policy dash black. The couch is black.
00:03:51
Speaker
It only grabbed the color of the couch. Oh no. I know. There's like a set of chairs and it says, I guess the company name and then says, apologize, but I cannot fulfill this request. It violates open AI and use policy dash gray 78.8 inches.
00:04:14
Speaker
It must be a different part of a form for items or something where there's color and size or dimension. Yeah, exactly. The color, the AI approves and can pose, but the description of your couch or your chairs, no, I'm sorry. I cannot fulfill this request.
00:04:35
Speaker
There's a bunch of them. It's really funny. I feel like that's going to be the way that I set up my out of office from now on. It violates district bliss user policy. I like that.
00:04:57
Speaker
We should do an episode on funny out of office responses and email signatures. They have gotten so creative. You all out there have gotten so creative with them. I love reading them so much. I know. I one time got an email from someone on LinkedIn that clearly was like an auto email and it was like, Dear Kevin,
00:05:25
Speaker
And I'm like, hmm, this is a really bad way to start this out. And had my company name in there, but not the right thing of what I do at all. And then then it did say Christina at some point in the email and then said, thank you, sir. It was just so wrong, but it was comical. And I was like, that's embarrassing for you. I'm not responding.
00:05:55
Speaker
That is embarrassing for you. Oh, Lord. I feel you want to see if you can get an O here. Mm hmm. All right. OK. So what is the auto complete for? Is AI going to take over the world? That is number one. Great job.
00:06:22
Speaker
Oh my God. So it's take over the world, replace jobs, replace programmers, kill us all.
00:06:33
Speaker
Take our jobs, replace artists, replace accountants, take over, take my job, and replace graphic designers. Wow. Isn't that interesting that accountants and basically artists and graphic designers are concerned? And programmers, yeah. And programmers, I feel like copywriters should be on that list more than graphic design.
00:07:01
Speaker
Although that's not true. Graphic design, there's tons of graphic design AIs. Yeah, you kind of forget. I mean, even does Canvas AI do graphic design? I don't know. I never really use it. I use other ones. Just for fun though, I'm not using them as like, here's the ad that I'm creating with AI. Yeah.
00:07:28
Speaker
I just like play around with it because it's fun to tell it what to do and see what happens. With six fingers and like a bug that's flying upside down. They're like missing hands altogether. Yeah, you're like that arm is twisting in a weird way and there's no hands. I'm impressed with some of the skills people have of like
00:07:56
Speaker
producing a high-quality AI-generated content because mine never, mine look like they've been through the wringer.
00:08:04
Speaker
I've never done anything with artwork. I've definitely done things with copy. I have it when someone gives me swipe files, which is like an email or social media, you can copy paste and you aren't supposed to have to really do anything with that isn't in my tone of voice. I usually have it run it through in my tone of voice because that's a good use. Yeah. So that it just like doesn't. And it's also then, you know, everyone on my list isn't getting the same email.
00:08:33
Speaker
from like everyone else who's part of that event or whatever. Yeah. You know what it can be really useful for if you have a bunch of ingredients and you don't know what to cook, you can use some really fun ideas. If you're just like, here's what I have, chat GPT or whatever, and then it'll give you some ideas. Interesting. Yeah.
00:08:57
Speaker
Yeah. Or it'll plan like a trip for you. If you're like, oh, I'm going from here to Albuquerque. I have seven days and I like camping. It'll like play it out. Or you're like, I like museums and art and camping. Yeah. I've, I've done it for trips before. So AI, you know, when used smartly can be really useful, I think. I agree. Yeah.
00:09:26
Speaker
You want to give me another fail from when it wasn't used correctly? Yeah. Speaking of personal information, sometimes companies can take that personal information and be a little too casual with it and forget that there's a real person behind that data point. So Target, for instance, they thought they hit the jackpot with predictive analytics using customer shopping habits to predict who's expecting a bundle of joy.
AI Marketing Mishaps
00:09:55
Speaker
So yeah, maybe it led to a surge in baby products, but at what cost? Imagine the shock when a teenage girl's family found out about her pregnancy from a stack of maternity coupons that got sent to her in the mail from Target. Yeah, not good.
00:10:14
Speaker
So anyway, this blender is one of the biggest marketing mistakes that a really big company like Target did and kind of brought to light the right that customers have to this data mining and all kinds of backlash and blah, blah, blah, privacy stuff. Interesting.
00:10:40
Speaker
A couple years ago. So do you remember when Amazon would like tell you what people around that Bluetooth off your phone bought? So like if your phone was in the same area, it would be or it was like your friend purchased this. Oh, I like bear it like I have a vague distant memory of that.
00:11:03
Speaker
Yeah, so I had it turned off, so I never saw this happen. But this was a big thing in the wedding industry because people were buying engagement rings on Amazon, which is kind of funny in its own little way. But get your ring or whatever it is, wherever you want to get it. It's just kind of a funny place. It's not a place I would think to go. Yeah, I wouldn't head to Amazon right away.
00:11:29
Speaker
But it was like telling the partner of the person who was planning to propose. Oh no. That the other person bought that. And I think it was also like posting to like if you hadn't disabled it, it was posting it to Facebook too. Oh my God. Imagining like a dildo or like condoms and your grandma's like. Way to be safe, honey. Oh my God.
00:12:00
Speaker
Oh God. That could definitely not be okay sometimes. Oh, that's horrifying. The secondhand embarrassment. Oh yeah, and you're still looking up that you both got posted on Facebook. This is the second episode in a row that I've talked about secondhand embarrassment. Oh my God. Wait, we talked about it last episode?
00:12:26
Speaker
Yeah, it was the influencer marketing fails. Yeah, uncomfortable. Yeah, I was like, oh, my God, my secondhand embarrassment is like flaring up. Oh, God. All right. Are you ready for an auto complete? Yeah. Yeah. I nailed the first one. Bring it on. All right. I you Googleized why is AI
00:12:57
Speaker
Oh, why is AI so smart? No. I'm getting a zero. Do I get instead of a zero, do I get a one? No, you're getting O's for you Google eyes. Oh, got it, got it, got it. For all the O's in Google.
00:13:26
Speaker
I gave myself a G. Oh, good. Also lots of O's and G's in that one. Good job, Christina. So here's what people most commonly ask are autocomplete for Google said. Why is AI bad? Why is AI good? Why is AI dangerous? Why is AI art bad?
00:13:55
Speaker
Why is AI so popular now? Why is AI important? Why is AI good for society? Why is AI unethical? Why is AI bad at hands? I know they're so bad at it. I kind of wish you would guess that one. And then also, why is AI bad for education?
00:14:25
Speaker
I love it. Why are they bad at hands with sitting there? Because seriously, they're really bad. Oh my God. I could not get the hands right when I was trying to get this image with a person. Oh man. Yeah. It is bad at hands. I mean, hands are hard.
00:14:47
Speaker
Even when you're an actual artist drawing, I'm no artist, but I've definitely drawn people before and this and that. Hands are just one of those things that's very difficult to capture. Yeah. Honestly, they can be difficult to photograph too because you tend to do awkward things with your hands when you're aware of them.
00:15:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's like, oh, God, where do I put this? Someone's taking a picture of me. My couple asked me that this weekend. What do I do with my hands? What do we do with our? So, AI has the same struggles as photographers and artists. That's good to know. Yeah. Yeah. I could probably answer why AI is bad in this next story. All right. Let's hear it.
00:15:38
Speaker
So Microsoft made big headlines when they announced they had a new chat box. And it was so they're writing it with slang, like a slang of like a teenager. And the chat bot was named Tay. I don't know if that rings any bells.
00:15:56
Speaker
which could automatically reply to people that were engaging with them, the chatbot on Twitter. So some of Tay's earlier tweets were, OMG totes exhausted, swagulated too hard today, hbu? How about you? That means just for all those people that needed that.
00:16:18
Speaker
or TBH, I was kind of distracted. You got me? I don't know why. And then like some OG Kush Jank. Oh my God.
00:16:33
Speaker
So Tay grew from Microsoft's effort to improve their conversational understanding to that end, Tay used machine learning and AI. And as more people talked with Tay, Microsoft claimed the chatbot would learn how to write more naturally and hold, you know, better conversation. The problem is less than 24 hours after Tay launched,
00:16:57
Speaker
The internet trolls and just general, you know, how Twitter can be corrupted and Tay's tweets started to become very racist and really mean and negative. And I mean, Tay, she, he, they just got corrupted instantly, less than 24 hours of being on Twitter and interacting with the people on Twitter. They added they added the bullet.
00:17:27
Speaker
That feels right if I had to interact with people on Twitter. It totally makes sense. And of course, people are like interacting with Tay and trolling Tay. So Tay's picking that up, turning it around and doing the same back out there. Yeah, it devolved very quickly for them. It feels so
00:17:56
Speaker
ACOTACO to think about like, did you ever see the when they launched Windows, I think it was Windows XP, and they did the awkward white man dance like with all the C like with Bill Gates and like their like C-suite group war.
00:18:16
Speaker
I'm just imagining them inventing Tay. It's like so much more awkward when you think of it like them sitting behind the keyboard. Oh, God. If you have not watched the awkward old white man dance on stage at that release, you really need to do yourself a favor, set some time aside, be prepared to like
00:18:44
Speaker
Christina's doing it. And they were looking around like, yeah. It's so awkward. Oh my god. I had to turn it off. I was like, oh, second hand embarrassment. Can you handle it?
00:19:05
Speaker
Oh, no, it's not good. It's not OK. It's not. You will have your eyes watering. You'll be sweating. You might not be able to stop laughing or you will feel so uncomfortable. You'll have to turn it off right away. But it is very funny. Yeah, it is really funny. Oh, man. All right. You want another one?
00:19:34
Speaker
Yes, please. Auto complete this statement. Why is chat GPT blank? It's not much to go by. Why is chat GPT evil? I'll give you a U because it's a half an O.
00:20:03
Speaker
Because there is, why is chat GPT bad in the lower portion of this? It's a nicer way. Yeah, I'll give that to you. Just a half though, so a U. I of course could have also given you an N, but here we are. Why go that way? He got the bottom of the...
00:20:29
Speaker
Here we go. Why is chatGPT not working? Why is chatGPT so slow? This one looks good for the accountants out there. Why is chatGPT bad at math? Oh, it's bad at math. I use it for math all the time. I didn't know it was bad at math. I don't know. I've never tried it. Why is chatGPT down?
00:20:58
Speaker
And then of course, why is chat GPT good? Why is chat GPT bad? Then why is chat GPT getting worse? Why is chat GPT free? No. And why is chat GPT not responding? There's a lot of like common threads here of it just like not working. I think
00:21:27
Speaker
We can say it's too incompetent to take over the world based on these two utilizing results. Yeah, it makes me feel better. That's good. We're okay for now. Oh, man. All right, I have one more for you. Okay, I have two bonuses.
00:21:52
Speaker
Okay, perfect. All right, so artificial intelligence and machine learning have a huge bias problem in case you didn't know.
AI Bias Issues
00:22:03
Speaker
And so Amazon AI, they created this like AI for Amazon to recruit based on resumes that got submitted like the best that they could find.
00:22:19
Speaker
So basically, Amazon engineers said they literally wanted to be an engine where I'm going to give you 100 resumes, AI, and you'll spit out the top five to me and I can go through the top five and then base my opinions and hire someone from that. But the Amazon engineers realized that they had taught their own AI that male candidates were automatically better. On accident, by the way, apparently.
00:22:48
Speaker
So Amazon trained their AI on engineering job applicant resumes, and then they benchmarked that training data set against current engineering employees. So think about who applies for software engineering jobs and who most likely to be currently employed in the software engineering.
00:23:06
Speaker
white men. So from that, it's training Amazon's A.I. to recruit men like to recruit white men and prefer the white men over any other resume that it was getting submitted. Yeah, that's so bad. You are being bad, A.I. No, no.
00:23:34
Speaker
Yeah, so that got pulled. That definitely got pulled. Oh, that is brutal. That's bad. Huge bias problem. I'm surprised they didn't think of that in the beginning, but I'm not an engineer, so what do I know? Maybe they actually feel that way also. They're like, let's teach it racism and sexism.
00:24:04
Speaker
Technically, it could be an unconscious bias. It's still not okay. Bad AI, bad software engineers. No. Bad AI training people. I know. Oh, man. All right. Are you ready for my bonus ones? Bonus. All right. Autocomplete this sentence.
00:24:31
Speaker
or this eugulizing. Why are gingers blank? Why are gingers so feisty? That should be one of the answers. I honestly, that's what I would have guessed too. But unfortunately, no. So I get a second g. So here we go. Why are gingers called gingers?
00:25:02
Speaker
That's actually a legitimate question. Yeah, it is actually. I guess if you don't know, you don't know. Yeah, that's yep. Why are gingers bullied? Oh, oh. Followed in me by why are gingers so hot? Oh, OK, OK. Why are gingers so rare?
00:25:27
Speaker
Why are gingers called redheads? Which I don't really understand. I would have thought that would go the other direction. Then something that I've never heard and I am now very curious about and think you should do a deep dive into. Why are gingers so strong?
00:25:49
Speaker
Does that mean physically, emotionally, mentally? What kind of strong are we? Maybe all three. I mean, I would say physically. I feel like my muscles stay intact pretty well once. Yeah, mine stay for a long time too. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if it's just my, you know, not my redness. Yeah. I don't know.
00:26:19
Speaker
I don't know. I'm curious. Next time I go to the doctor, I might ask because the last time I went, she admitted that when she saw I was a redhead, she was like in her heart went, Oh, no. Oh, no.
00:26:39
Speaker
We just have a lot of medical things that complicate treatment for people. We need more drugs. Yeah, apparently we metabolize things much faster and we bleed more. Did you know that? Yeah, well, I only know because you told me. I had no idea.
00:27:03
Speaker
Oh my God. I didn't either. That was a new one for me. Yeah. She also said I was having a minor procedure done and somehow I made it. I slipped through the cracks where I didn't get the consult before the procedure. So then she was like, well, but she is a redhead so her pain tolerance will be higher. That doesn't mean we like pain. Damn it.
00:27:34
Speaker
Yeah, I really like my doctor. She's honest. Yeah, I mean, it's not a lie, but still, it doesn't mean we don't want to live with pain or we do want to live with pain. True, but otherwise, I would have had to come back, which would have been just a big pain in the butt, waste of time, no fun. No, me doctor's appointments is already annoying. No need to make more than you have to. I know, I know. Okay, are you ready for the last one?
00:28:03
Speaker
Mm hmm. Let's see if you can redeem yourself here. This will be for for the big money. The second. Oh, OK. Auto complete. Are redheads really blank? Are redheads really red?
00:28:28
Speaker
OK, I'm going to give that to you. I'm giving you a full oh. Oh, it's because dead center on this. It has our red heads read everywhere, really read everywhere. Oh, we know what that question is really trying to ask. That is a very nice way of putting it. I appreciate that very like elementary school way of asking.
00:29:00
Speaker
Oh, God. Here are the other ones. Are redheads really going extinct? Remember, people think we are going extinct. I know. I think that's been debunked since we last reported on that. I think so too. That was years ago. Are redheads really different? Are redheads really stronger? Again with that.
00:29:31
Speaker
Again with, are redheads really different? I don't know why it's on their toys. Then, are redheads really stronger than others? Apparently, this is something we should look into. Yes, I think there's a new rumor circulating. We need to search. I have not heard it. I'm out of the loop. I know. Are redheads really declining?
00:30:02
Speaker
That's that. That's that. I think I broke even. Technically, you got two O's and a U, and I only have two G's. You do by a U. Barely. By a half point. By a U. I slid in by a U. It's given O.
00:30:29
Speaker
It feels like this is a very double entendre thing that I've done, and it was truly because those are the letters in Google. And then when you cut the O in half, it's a U. Yeah, a little one, a little U. With no little line, just the curve. Just the curve, just the curve. It really feels like I did this.
00:30:58
Speaker
I did this on purpose too. We were in cahoots. Yeah, that too. That too. Wow. Yeah. That was fun. Yeah. Thank you, you guys. I hope you auto completed better than I did. You still won. Yeah. I got in there by the skin of my you.
00:31:21
