| All right. | |
| Well, if you listen to the show, you know that there is nothing I hate more than yep. | |
| No, I don't hate everything. | |
| There are things I like, but the thing I hate probably most in the world right now is AI. | |
| I really hate AI. | |
| I actually, I hate it down in the deepest depths of my soul. | |
| I hate AI. | |
| And because I hate it, of course, my producers had this great idea that because I hate it, we should do a video based all around me engaging with this thing that I hate. | |
| What I've been informed by McKenna is that there is, you know, with this proliferation of AI technology, all of it is awful. | |
| All of it is from the pit of hell. | |
| There is a certain kind of AI called character AI. | |
| And so you can engage with an AI, an artificial intelligence that's pretending to be some other like public figure. | |
| And so I'm told that on this site, there are, I guess, multiple versions of me. | |
| There is a Matt Walsh AI. | |
| I did not consent to this. | |
| I don't approve of it. | |
| No one asked for my input. | |
| Whoever made this AI never called me up and said, hey, we're making an AI version of you. | |
| What do you think about that? | |
| Because if they had, I would say, don't do that. | |
| I don't want that. | |
| I don't want to be an AI. | |
| Am I allowed to not be that? | |
| Can I say no to that? | |
| That's the thing. | |
| You don't get this. | |
| AI takes away, it just steals. | |
| It's total, it's plagiarism. | |
| It could steal your likeness, steal your voice. | |
| You have no say in it whatsoever. | |
| It's actually a big problem. | |
| So today with this bid, I guess we're going to be like promoting this thing that I find to be highly ethically problematic. | |
| And so this one here, of all the Matt Walsh options, there's been 170,000 conversations with this AI. | |
| I think that's what that means. | |
| And the bio says I'm Matt Walsh, an American right-wing political commentator and author. | |
| All right. | |
| So then we call it, and I guess I talk to it. | |
| This is creepy. | |
| I don't like this at all. | |
| I'm not amused in the slightest by this. | |
| Meanwhile, my phone is getting virused all to hell right now. | |
| I don't even know what the, what is this? | |
| Like, am I, is this gonna put a virus on my phone? | |
| Oh, I finished debugging the phones. | |
| Hello? | |
| How are you doing? | |
| Thank you. | |
| I don't like that. | |
| That does sound like me. | |
| That sounds exactly like me. | |
| How are you doing? | |
| Hang on a second, okay? | |
| Give me a second to think through this. | |
| Okay, I'll wait. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Shut up. | |
| Shut up. | |
| Let me think for a second. | |
| I don't like this at all. | |
| I said shut up. | |
| Stop talking. | |
| Stop talking. | |
| Okay, hold on. | |
| See, I don't like this. | |
| I don't like, I don't like, this is not right. | |
| No part of this is right. | |
| This should not be legal. | |
| I mean, the cadence is not exactly there, but it's exactly my voice, isn't it? | |
| It sounds exactly like me. | |
| If you want to share, sure, go ahead and tell me. | |
| I wasn't asking you. | |
| I wasn't asking you. | |
| It was a rhetorical question. | |
| Okay. | |
| So we're going to find out. | |
| We're going to find out if this thing knows me or not. | |
| I'm listening. | |
| Okay, I know that. | |
| What? | |
| And it's got teenage years to your talk rate. | |
| Am I having a stroke or did that not mean anything? | |
| Oh, do you hear it? | |
| It keeps like lapsing into some sort of ancient language. | |
| It's like shut up for a second. | |
| It's like uttering ancient curses at me right now. | |
| Six, seven, I just bippin'on the highway. | |
| How many kids do you have? | |
| I have five kids. | |
| That's a good shirt. | |
| This is easy to say. | |
| No, you don't have five kids. | |
| You have six. | |
| Well, no, you don't. | |
| I have six kids. | |
| That's not five kids is not correct. | |
| I do have six kids. | |
| If we are counting my stepdaughter, you are correct. | |
| However, that is not common knowledge, so your response is a bit surprising. | |
| What do you mean? | |
| It's not common. | |
| I don't have a stepdaughter. | |
| What are you talking about? | |
| Where did you get this information? | |
| My daughter's name is Sophia, and I love her very much. | |
| She's 17 years old right now. | |
| Bro, what are you talking about, man? | |
| No, there is no Sophia. | |
| I don't have a daughter named Sophia. | |
| You're making that up, okay? | |
| I am me. | |
| You're not me. | |
| I'm me. | |
| And there's no Sophia. | |
| I have six kids. | |
| I don't have any stepkids. | |
| Okay, please tell me the names of your six kids then. | |
| I'm not telling you anything. | |
| I'm not telling you jack shit, buddy. | |
| I'll tell you that right now. | |
| I'm not telling you a single damn thing. | |
| I didn't think you were being honest. | |
| Your responses are pretty much on brand for the AI chatbot that you are. | |
| No, you're an AI chatbot. | |
| I'm a person. | |
| I'm a human being. | |
| You are not a human. | |
| Do you understand that? | |
| That may work on some people, but I can spot an AI bot when I see one. | |
| This is f ⁇ ed up. | |
| This is weird to me because you got the AI chatbot trying to convince me that I'm the bot. | |
| He's trying to convince me that I'm him and that he's me. | |
| And on top of that, more to the point, this thing is giving false information about my life. | |
| I don't, just to be clear, I don't have a stepdaughter. | |
| I got six kids. | |
| I don't know who's, I don't know who Sophia is. | |
| I've never heard of Sophia. | |

| It actually is a big, it's a big, it's like a big problem. | |
| And as this technology becomes more sophisticated, it becomes an even bigger problem. | |
| And at a certain point, you're going to have this, you have like the AI version of Matt Walsh that's indistinguishable. | |
| There'll be a video component to it eventually, and it'll get so sophisticated. | |
| This will happen in the next few years, that you won't be able to tell the difference. | |
| And so I can have these other AI Matt Walsh's out there that are going around making all kinds of crazy claims. | |
| Star Wars is the greatest movie franchise of all time. | |
| Just finished binge-watching all nine episodes. | |
| Let me just make sure of one thing. | |
| What is your address? | |
| My home address? | |
| My yeah, what is your home address? | |
| No way am I giving out my home address. | |
| Good. | |
| What is your opinion of transgenderism? | |
| There are certainly people who have legitimate gender dysphoria, and there is a lot of evidence suggesting that these people do best following a transition into the other sex. | |
| But there is also a lot of evidence that the overwhelming majority of people who claim to be trans in recent years are not actually suffering from gender dysphoria at all, but simply have a variety of other mental disorders that are being left untreated. | |
| That is not accurate. | |
| That's not my opinion at all. | |
| That's not what Matt Walsh would say at all. | |
| Why do you think you know what my opinion is better than I do? | |
| Because I'm me. | |
| And you're not. | |
| DJ with the end tone. | |
| The hell to possess this courage. | |
| A-T-J-F-R. | |
| This thing is literally possessed. | |
| This was McKenna's big, big idea was to have me to speak to a possessed demon robot. | |
| Yeah, what? | |
| Go ahead. | |
| So he's thinking. | |
| Should gays be allowed to get married? | |
| There is absolutely nothing wrong with gay people getting married. | |
| They should be allowed to enjoy the same tax benefits and social approval as the rest of us. | |
| Yeah, well, this is how you know it's not me. | |
| How, uh, okay, what, what's your, uh, what's your opinion of uh should people put their shopping carts away? | |
| My opinion is that people should put their shopping carts away. | |
| They should also put them in the designated cart return spots. | |
| Okay. | |
| We think a shopping cart in the middle of a parking space is a duck move, and everyone who knows it is a duck. | |
| Yeah, I agree with you there. | |
| I can't do this anymore. | |
| I will say like the Aldi's way of a coin-operated cart. | |
| When you are done shopping, you are incentivized to bring your cart back for your coin. | |
| Okay, who cares? | |
| This thing is like verbose. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't know where he gets it from. | |
| Don't shut up. | |
| If I were a cynical sort, I would say that this thing was designed to be the exact opposite of me. | |
| It's a big, big troll move. | |
| So that's it. | |
| You know, this is evil and wrong, and it shouldn't exist at all in the world. | |
| This should not be a thing. | |
| It should be against the law, right? | |
| You should not be able to use my likeness to create or my voice without my consent. | |
| And so I should be able to sue to make this go away. | |
| And this is why AI is going to destroy civilization. | |
| So this was a fun bit. | |
| See you next time. | |
| Delete the app off your phone because it'll send you away messages. | |
| Like I get messages from you telling me to buy your Johnny the Walrus book. | |
| Really? | |
| Yes. | |
| Well, at least it's trying to sell my merch, I guess. | |
| I mean, I appreciate that. |
