| So the current debate over AI, artificial intelligence, is about whether the technology will become sentient and autonomous and enslave us all. | ||
| And of course, that'll probably happen. | ||
| But in the meantime, we thought it'd be interesting revisiting the original debate about AI, which is about how it affects work. | ||
| What are the rest of us going to do for a living when machines can do it for us? | ||
| And there's nobody who's thought more deeply about this and about work in general and its centrality. | ||
| To Human Dignity, then Mike Rowe, and we are, as always, honored to have him in the studio. | ||
| Mike, thank you for coming on. | ||
| First of all, you win. | ||
| The desk? | ||
| It's wood. | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| I got a link from a buddy who said, hey man, not for nothing, but I went on to one of these sites and I said, narrate for me, in the style of Mike Rowe, these two paragraphs, right? | ||
| And he sent me a link to this, and basically it was two paragraphs from an old episode of Deadly's Catch. | ||
| And I hit play, and I listened to me. | ||
| Now, had I not known it was not me, I would have thought, well, that's something I narrated, you know, four or five years ago. | ||
| You couldn't tell the difference. | ||
| Couldn't tell. | ||
| When I listened for it, I heard some things that made me go, ah, maybe not quite, but that was two months ago, which might as well be two years ago or 20 years ago. | ||
| My entire career is actually based on AI. Early on in Dirty Jobs. | ||
| There was this big conversation at the network when they were like, look, this show is, it was a nightmare for them because it was rating really, really well, but it was off-brand. | ||
| Dirty Jobs was not supposed to be the show that people went to Discovery to love. | ||
| No. | ||
| It was, those were still the days of Attenborough and Jacques Cousteau and Jane Goodall, right? | ||
| Yes, it was me, a smart aleck looking under rocks making poop shows. | ||
| That's not supposed to be the number one show. | ||
| So they're like, can you smarten it up a little bit? | ||
| And I said, well, I've been looking at some science-type jobs. | ||
| And they're like, what? | ||
| I'm like, well, I'd like to take a deep dive into AI. And they're like, that's great. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| If you can find dirty jobs in AI, we're golden. | ||
| Now, did they think I was talking about artificial insemination? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Did you do that episode? | ||
| Four days later. | ||
| I was at the Circle X Ranch, somewhere outside of Houston, with my arm up to my shoulder inside a couple of dozen cows taking instructions from a cowboy named Steve. | ||
| I gotta ask you, you were an opera singer? | ||
| Well, I sang in the opera. | ||
| I've also skied down mountains, but very few people say, oh, this might grow the skier. | ||
| I've skied down many mountains. | ||
| I've never sung opera. | ||
| But do you, I mean, is there ever a time when you do it still? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Weddings, funerals. | ||
| For real? | ||
| I sing all the... | ||
| On my podcast, I write unauthorized jingles for all the sponsors and sing them in four-part harmony because it amuses me. | ||
| Do you ever sing in Italian still? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It goes on. | |
| I gotta ask about the sheep castration story because now that we've... | ||
| You've done a deep dive, haven't you? | ||
| We've done a very deep dive. | ||
| We do. | ||
| Thanks a lot for watching us on X. There is a lot more to see and you can find it on TuckerCarlson.com. |
