Listen "46. The RabbAI"
Episode Synopsis
Can I replace my Rabbi with artificial intelligence? Do convenience and (the illusion of) privacy outweigh the power of the human touch? Will AI officiate weddings?
For now, Dovid will keep his job because he can lift chairs — still, the AI Age is upon us. Once-complex questions are being answered with algorithmic ease. But should all questions be answered by the soul-free machine? (And where does this "should" even come from?)
In this episode, IBM 7094 gives speech a try (1961), Arthur C. Clark discusses "the future" (1964), and we hear some first words from an Artificial Jesus.
Music, originally suggested for this episode by ChatGPT: Boards of Canada, "Roygbiv" and "Dayvan Cowboy"; Kraftwerk, "The Robots"; Jean-Michel Jarre, "Oxygène, Pt. 4".
