Just tell the manager you'll sue. Instant room upgrade. Stop taking bad travel advice. Start comparing hundreds of sites with kayak and get your trip right. Bad advice?

You talking to me? Kayak, got that right. Hey, sweetie, your mother showed me this car. thing for selling the car. I'm going to give it a try. Wish me luck. Me again. I put in the license plate. It gave me an offer. Unbelievable. Okay, I accepted the offer. They're picking it up Tuesday from the driveway. I haven't even left my chair. It's done. The car is gone. I'm holding a check. Anyway, Carvana. Give it a whirl. Love you. So good, you'll want to leave a voicemail about it. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pick up fees may apply. All right. Well, if you listen to the show,

So you know that there is nothing I hate more than... Everything. Yup! 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 hate it down in the deepest depths of my soul. I hate AI.

And because I hate, 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. engaging with this thing that I hate. What I've been informed by McKenna is that there is, 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 in it. 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 can steal your likeness, steal your voice. no say in it whatsoever. It's actually a big problem. So today with this bit, I guess we're going to be 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. 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 the hell right now.

I don't even know what is this. What is this going to put a virus on my phone? Oh, I finished debugging the phones. Hello? 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. Um, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Let me think for a second. I don't like this at all. I said, 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, it's, 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. Son's, Creethrons, or war legenders? What? And Scott, Tim, can you use your talk retas? Is that actually sure quite a scene. Am I having a stroke, or did that not mean anything? Huh? Do you hear it keeps, like, lapsing into some sort of ancient language?

It's like, it's like, shut up for a second. It's like uttering ancient curses at me right now. I just bet me on the highway. How many kids do you have? I have five kids. 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.

Daughter? What are you talking about? Where did you get this information? My 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's 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 chat bot. 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, I don't, this is weird to me because you got the AI chat bot trying to 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. Okay, I got six kids. I don't know who's, I don't know who Sophia is. I've never heard of Sophia. If you're struggling with credit card debt, you're not alone.

It actually is 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've got to have these other AI Matt Walshs out there that are going around making all kinds of crazy claims. Star Wars is the greatest movie franchise of all time. Just finish binge watching all nine episodes. Let me just make sure of one thing. address. My home address? Um, my...

Yeah, what is your home address? No way am I giving out my home address. Good. What is your opinion of, uh, 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... This is not. This is not.

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. D.J. what the headcount.

A hell who could test his courage. A t. Egypt for. This thing is literally possessed. This was McKenna's big, big idea. It was to have me to speak to a possessed demon robot. Yeah, what? Go ahead.

Says it'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, 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. Leaving a shopping cart in the middle of a parking space is a dick move. And everyone who does it is a . Yeah, I agree with you there. I can't do this anymore. I will say, I don't 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 where he gets it from. This won'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 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. 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. Well, tone editors.
