Welcome back to Chapter 2 of Prompt Fiction! In this unscripted chapter, your hosts Scott and Reece plunge headfirst into the wild world of AI's latest developments, covering "the good, the bad, and the gloriously broken".
This week, they celebrate vibe coding triumphs, from building entire websites (even on a phone!) to creating complex payment systems with AI, often outsourcing the heavy lifting to the machines. They also delve into ChatGPT's game-changing updates, including the ability to "branch" conversations for "waffleless" chats – perfect for cutting out tangents – and the new, clearer "ChatGPT for Business".
But it's not all smooth sailing: the episode explores the impact of a global ChatGPT outage and critically examines the trend of companies like Tomato Plus and Renault slapping "AI badges" on everything from smart greenhouses to animated car mascots. Discover the surprising story of how the tiny island of Anguilla struck gold with the .ai domain boom, diversifying its economy in an unexpected way.
Get ready for a laugh as they discuss South Park's hilarious take on "sycophantic" AI, which highlights the pitfalls of overly agreeable machines. Finally, they share some truly "glorious fails" in their "copy, paste, send" segment, including the infamously bizarre AI-generated crowd at Will Smith's Scarborough concert, and reveal some fantastic free access to top AI tools. Tune in for a chaotic, insightful, and often humorous look at AI!
