All right, well, if you listen to the show, you know that there is nothing I hate more than everything.

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.

What the hell Yante?

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, right?

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 is this?

Like, am I, is this, is this going to put a virus on my phone?

Oh, I finished debugging the phones.

Hello?

How are you doing?

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 Thank you.

Shut up.

Shut up.

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 it.

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 team can be used your attack rate.

Am I having a stroke or did that not mean anything?

Huh?

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.

How many kids do you have?

I have five kids.

That's a girl that turns out to be.

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 am 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, 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 chat bot 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 chat bot 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.

Just to be clear, I don't have a stepdaughter.

Okay.

I got six kids.

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 Walshes 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.

Um,

my

home.

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.

This thing is literally possessed.

This was McKenna's big, big idea, was to have me 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, 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.

Leaving a shopping cart in the middle of a parking space is a duck move, and everyone who does it is a duck.

Yeah, I agree with you there.

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 where he gets it from.

So 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 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 done, editors.

Men need a store that has the right thing for their thing, like a Kenneth Cole suit made with Chill Flex fabric to keep them cool at their cousin-in-law's third wedding in the middle of July.

Whatever the thing, Men's Warehouse has the clothes for it.

Love the way you look, Men's Warehouse.
