Archer & Feldman: Sci Fi Luminary David Gerrold Talks AI
Welcome to our new AI overlords
If artificial intelligence really is going to change the world, are we asking the right questions about it?
Most of the conversation swings between two extremes: AI is either humanityâs greatest invention or the beginning of our extinction. But what if both sides are missing something?
On the newest episode of Archer & Feldman, Charles Feldman and I are joined by legendary science fiction writer David Gerrold for one of the most thought-provoking conversations weâve had.
David has spent a lifetime imagining the future. Long before ChatGPT and large language models, science fiction writers were exploring what it would mean to create intelligence that wasnât human. Now that weâre living through that future, his perspective is both fascinating and surprisingly reassuring.
We talk about what AI really is, what it isnât, whether writers should fear it, and why our biggest challenge may not be AI itselfâbut how humans choose to use it.
If youâre tired of the usual AI hype and doomscrolling, I think youâll enjoy this conversation.
