  • Is AI in a BUBBLE?

    Is AI in a BUBBLE?
    Nov 7 2025

    Is the AI Industry in a Bubble?

    The main topic of the show is the AI Bubble question.


    Frustrations using AI

    We go over the frustrations we have in working with AI and also some frustrations with dealing AI Chatbots when it comes to customer service.


    AI Wins

    We talk about some wins using AI. It isn't all frustration as AI can do some cool things and make us more productive.


    Is AI Taking your job or taking away what you like about your job?


    The real benefit from AI is if experts are using it to do things faster. If non-experts are using it they might not be able to discern the difference between convincing nonsense and something actually useful.


    The AI Bubble

    Is AI really in a bubble?

    With all the major breakthroughs happening could it really be considered a bubble?

    • New Cancer Treatments
    • Longevity Breakthroughs
    • Green energy breakthroughs
    • New materials being discovered
    • Advancing understanding by 1000's of years
    • and much, much more


    We look at other bubbles where great things happened too but it was still a bubble like the dot com bubble, the railroad bubble and more.

    If AI is a bubble does it matter in the long run?

    Probably not.


    And... we talk about the dark side of AI.

    Suicides, loneliness epidemic, addiction and more.

    Adding adult content to ChatGPT may amplify this. We talk about the downsides of this development.


    And much, much, more... listen or watch the episode to hear everything.

  • Staying Authentic in an AI World

    Staying Authentic in an AI World

    The Bunker Project Podcast PageThe Bunker Project on YouTubeThe Bunker Project on RumbleLinkedIn | Twitter X | Instagram | TikTokBluesky | Mastadon | Facebook | PinterestThis episode of "The Bunker Project" delves into a truly contemporary and thought-provoking topic: authenticity in the age of AI. Hosted by engaging personalities who embrace lively tangents from the outset, this podcast offers a deep dive into the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.The central question explored is: What does it mean to be authentic when AI is involved, and where do we draw the line? The hosts and their guests grapple with the complexities of AI as a tool, comparing it to other technological advancements that have shaped creative industries, from desktop publishing to autotune. They also touch upon the moral implications of using AI to present an inauthentic persona and how this tool can be misused. Ultimately, the episode provides a fascinating discussion for anyone navigating the brave new world of AI-assisted creation, asking whether AI enhances or diminishes our true selves.Detailed Show Notes:Episode: Authenticity in the Age of AIEpisode Highlights:•Unpacking Authenticity: The episode kicks off by immediately diving into the core question: what truly constitutes authenticity when AI tools are used in the creative process? This discussion is sparked by real examples, such as AI-generated music and ethical dilemmas faced by content creators.•The Blurring Lines of Creation: A key focus is on determining "where the line is" for AI use. Is something still yours if AI helps generate it, even if your original ideas and prompts are the foundation? The conversation explores the nuance of human input versus AI output.•AI as an Enabler and Game Changer: The hosts discuss how AI can empower individuals by overcoming common barriers like poor spelling or grammar, allowing more people to express their ideas effectively11. It's viewed as a powerful tool that can help "get across their ideas".•The Pitfalls of "Too Perfect": A fascinating point is raised about AI's ability to make content "too perfect," potentially stripping away a creator's unique, idiosyncratic style or "imperfections" that define their authentic voice11. Early AI's "weirdness" or "hallucinations" were even seen as a more interesting, inspiring aspect.•AI for Social Media Management (The "AI-Oped"): Discover an innovative use of AI through Bob's "AI-oped" concept. This involves using AI to fact-check, de-sensationalise, and neutralise emotional bias in online content, rewriting it in a "central tone of voice". This approach aims to intellectualise conversations and promote understanding, rather than escalating conflict1617. The episode explores if this process, which helps calm "back and forth" arguments, is still authentically "Bob".•Authenticity of Intent vs. Output: A critical distinction is made between the authentic ideas and thought processes of the person crafting the AI prompts (e.g., Bob's thinking being authentic to him) and the actual AI-generated output, which might not be considered "authentically theirs" in its final form1220. It's likened to an architect's design versus a builder's construction.•AI as a Collaborative Tool: Much like an editor refines a book, or studio tools shape music, AI is presented as a collaborator2122. The discussion covers how tools like autotune or voice cloning (as demonstrated by the example of Stephen Hawking) can extend a creator's ability to communicate their vision, even when their natural abilities are limited.•The "Leaf Litter" Problem and the Rise of Curators: With AI enabling the creation of vast quantities of content (e.g., tens of thousands of children's books or video games daily), the challenge of finding genuinely good or unique work becomes immense25.... This leads to the growing importance of curators – individuals with a strong reputation and "knack" for sifting through "schlock" to identify valuable and important creative works.•Experimentation is Key: For newcomers to AI, the advice is consistent: don't be afraid to play and experiment. The early stages of AI are experimental, and learning often comes from pushing limits, asking questions, and even "getting angry" with the AI to understand its behaviour and limitations.Practical Tips for Getting Started with AI: The episode concludes with actionable advice for beginners:◦Research and Request Citations: Always ask AI for its sources to verify information.◦Push the Limits: Don't treat AI like a simple search engine; ask it to go further, flip conversations, and push creative boundaries.◦Play and Experiment: Learn by doing, fiddling with tools like Notebook LM and ChatGPT.◦Brainstorming Tool: Start small, using AI to generate outlines, ideas, or alternate concepts, rather than requesting long-form content immediately.◦...
