Episode 86

AM I AI?

This week the THE THREE-HEADED MAN podcast explores the question "AM I AI?" by examining the concept of associative thinking and how it functions in the brain. They discuss various types of sorting, the meaning of artificial intelligence, and how one can make contact with intelligence outside of oneself. The conversation then turns to the concept of emotional intelligence (EQ) and how prompting both AI and human interactions is integral to communication. Lastly, the hosts look at how humans are currently in a transition between human and AI. Ultimately, the episode raises questions about the future of humanity, and encourages listeners to think about their own relationship to AI and the implications of technology in our lives.

This summary was written by an AI, and it was edited by a human.

Fred M Schill

I like to do. I like to make things. And, I like telling stories. I tell stories to myself and to others.

First, a short biography, which is, of course, is a story. I was born in Cleveland, played sports, and attended university. Later, after a few years in the radio business, I returned to university to study education and literature.

With a teaching certificate in my file folder, I began working in high schools, first as a strike-breaking scab substitute teacher in Cleveland's far suburbs, and then in Chicago, mostly in private high schools.

Cleveland and Chicago. My two main towns, and I escaped them both. Presently, I live in a tiny, isolated, mountain village in Spain. I am reluctant to write the name of the town because I don't like tourists. When the tourists arrive, they look at me as if I am an animal in a zoo.
