This week on AI is Mid, we're diving deep into the hype and the hard truths. From the VC-fueled frenzy of generative AI startups (mostly buying GPUs, let's be honest) to the unsettling prospect of AI-powered mental health monitoring, we're questioning the ethical quagmires and unintended consequences of our algorithmic overlords. Are we democratizing art with AI music generators, or devaluing human creativity? And what about those digital twins – utopian simulations or tools for surveillance? Join us as we unpack the week's biggest AI headlines and ask the tough questions about the future we're building.
