    Ep 25: The SEO Shift to AEO: Chris Singel on What AI Gets Wrong (and Right)
    2025/03/10
    In this episode of the AI Grapple Chris Singel joins Kate vanderVoort for a wide-ranging, funny, and thought-provoking conversation that spans the full weird and wonderful world of artificial intelligence. From his early days coding websites on dial-up, to writing a book with AI in the shower (yes, literally), to deep dives on automation, job loss, and the ethics of AI-powered decision-making - this is an episode that will both entertain and challenge your thinking. Chris blends sharp insights with plenty of laughs, and doesn’t hold back when talking about hallucinations, deepfakes, the illusion of control, and why letting robots do the work might not be the worst idea after all. 🔥 Key Highlights 🕹️ Dial-Up Days to AI Days Chris shares how his tech journey started in middle school, building a website for his local movie theatre on dial-up internet. From there, he navigated politics, public policy, and a thriving comedy career before landing in digital marketing - and eventually founding his own agency, Delta Digital. 📘 Writing a Book in the Shower (Almost) In March 2023, after seeing Google Bard launch, Chris wondered: Can AI write a book about AI? Twelve minutes and one marketing push later, his AI-generated book Think Like an AI became a #1 new release on Amazon. It wasn't perfect - but that was kind of the point. 🤖 LLMs vs Reasoning Models Chris likens Large Language Models to entry-level employees - they do what they’re told but don’t think critically. Reasoning Models are more like mid-level managers. So what happens when AI reaches C-suite capabilities? Who’s making the decisions then? 🎨 AI and Creativity: Killer or Catalyst? While many worry that AI will kill creativity, Chris argues the opposite. By removing repetitive, low-value tasks, AI frees humans up to actually be creative again. Designers can design. Writers can think bigger. And marketers can dream up ideas beyond just moving pixels around. 🌍 Comedy Meets Code Chris reflects on how AI still struggles with humour - subtext, timing, and cultural context are difficult to replicate. But he’s also used AI to brainstorm jokes, generate story ideas, and even build Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. AI might not replace comedians, but it’s already helping them. 🔍 The SEO Shift to AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) AI search changes everything. Instead of driving traffic to your website, answer engines might just give users a response - and move on. Chris talks about the death of zero-click SEO, Google's history with AMP and Answer Boxes, and how marketers should now be thinking about discoverability in a searchless future. 🚨 Hallucinations & Misinformation Glue in a pizza recipe? Sure. Fake medical advice? Dangerous. Chris shares some of the real risks that come with trusting AI too quickly, especially when it fabricates sources or gets basic facts wrong with total confidence. The stakes aren’t just professional—they’re personal and even life-threatening. 👤 The Identity Crisis: Trust, Deepfakes & Disinformation From duplicate Facebook profiles of relatives to fake AI-generated nudes in high schools, Chris highlights the growing crisis of digital identity and trust. We’re entering an era where it’s hard to know what—or who—is real online. ⚖️ Governance, Responsibility & the Blame Game If an AI recommends the wrong medication or a faulty DIY fix, who's responsible? The developer? The platform? The end user? Chris dives into the growing AI governance conversation, the legal gray areas, and why we need urgent answers to very old questions about liability. 🌐 Global Tug-of-War: US vs EU vs China Kate and Chris discuss the differing global approaches to AI regulation. The EU is leaning into safety and ethics. The US is driven by market forces. China plays its own game. But with the internet being global, whatever rules one region sets will affect everyone. 💼 AI in the Workplace: Cut Costs or Cultivate Talent? Chris shares real examples from consulting with businesses, including how IKEA chose to retrain customer service staff as interior designers instead of laying them off. It’s a hopeful sign that AI doesn’t always have to mean job losses—it can mean reinvention. ⚠️ Human in the Loop: Still Essential From meeting notes that snitch to therapists’ AIs hallucinating patient thoughts, Chris underscores the need for a human in the loop. AI is powerful—but without oversight, it can also cause chaos. 🧩 The Unknowns: Superintelligence & What Comes Next Chris reflects on how AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) may be closer than we think. With rapid breakthroughs, we’ve moved from predicting progress in decades to months or weeks. If AI starts improving itself, the leap to Artificial Super Intelligence could be exponential—and the world as we know it might change overnight. 🎭 Human After All: The Role of Empathy, Storytelling & Meaning Despite all the tech talk, this episode ...

  • Ep 25: AI, Fine Art & the Human Story – A Deep Dive with Alice Absolutely

    Ep 25: AI, Fine Art & the Human Story – A Deep Dive with Alice Absolutely
    2025/03/04

    In this thought-provoking episode of The AI Grapple, host Kate vanderVoort sits down with Amanda McCallister, the creative force behind Alice Absolutely, to explore the intersection of AI and fine art. Alice shares how she uses AI as a true artistic collaborator rather than a replacement, the ethical dilemmas she has encountered, and how AI-generated art reflects deep-seated human biases.

    From her discovery of AI’s unexpected storytelling through image generation to her upcoming book on AI and the Art of War, Amanda challenges our understanding of authorship, creativity, and artistic ownership in the AI era. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of AI in the creative industries.

    Key Topics & Insights 🎨 AI as a Creative Partner, Not a Replacement
    • Amanda explains how she treats AI as a collaborator, much like working with another artist in a traditional setting.
    • Unlike those who use AI to generate “perfect” images, she gives AI minimal input - sometimes just a punctuation mark - to see how it responds.
    • She manually refines and completes each piece, ensuring a unique artistic touch.
    💡 The Unexpected Biases Hidden in AI Art
    • Amanda’s experiments revealed that AI-generated images reflect collective human biases.
    • When prompting AI with words like Dresden, Vietnam, or Afghanistan, the results overwhelmingly depicted war-torn landscapes - even when no context was provided.
    • This led to her upcoming book, Artificial Intelligence and the Art of War, which explores how AI-generated art exposes historical and cultural biases.
    🎭 The Debate on Authorship and Ownership
    • AI-generated content raises questions about what it truly means to “own” a piece of art.
    • Alice shares why she only sells her AI works as one-of-a-kind originals - no prints or NFTs - keeping them aligned with fine art traditions.
    • She argues that AI doesn’t replace artists because it still requires human intervention to create a finished, compelling composition.
    🚀 AI’s Role in the Future of Art & Creativity
    • Alice believes AI is democratizing creativity, giving more people access to artistic expression.
    • She embraces AI’s ability to inspire new artists rather than fearing that AI-generated art will diminish human creativity.
    • Looking ahead, she’s excited about AI’s advancements in video, predicting a revolution in visual storytelling.
    🔍 Authenticity & Transparency in AI-Generated Art
    • Alice is clear about labelling her work as AI-assisted, believing transparency is crucial to maintaining trust.
    • She warns against the backlash that companies and creators may face if they deceive audiences about AI involvement.
    • Her philosophy: AI art is part of the human story - it’s not about replacing artists, but about how we choose to use this technology.
    Memorable Quotes

    🖼️ "AI doesn’t replace artists [space - space] it reveals what we, as a society, have taught it about ourselves." 🧠 "If we fear AI, maybe it’s because we don’t like what it reflects back at us." 📖 "Every piece of AI-generated art is a mirror of human history, biases, and stories we’ve told." 🎭 "Once we create art, we don’t own it anymore - it’s up to the world to interpret and appreciate it."
