Nothing like having 10 or more "answers" to a problem as a strong "tell" of cognitive dissonance. And each of these characters so nicely showing their own version of cognitive biases to "solve" or address the issue.

And I guess we are all having some level of cognitive dissonance when it comes to "AI".

Could we make a neutral, human-ethical AI engine to synthesize all these views and help us solve these challenges? Kind of a cognitive bias filter / detector? I guess we could. Will we? That ... I do not know.

But I hope we do.

In the meantime - thanks Liv, Stephanie, and team for this!

This is brilliant! Thank you for putting this out there 🙏

I am bummed you didn’t put the voice in there I’m hearing from my Christian extremist friends that say AI is the Antichrist. That is the frame I understand least.

yeah that would have been a fun one to add!

and ya, I second that the "AI is the Antichrist" character is worth adding. I have met them too. "AI will destroy all of mankind ... " one can go deeply dark here (purely for dramatic license of course!)

The odd thing is this sense that some of them want it to happen to prove their belief system is right because they will be saved while the rest of us burn.

My big concern is that the narrative becomes so strong that it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Hahaha that video must’ve been so much work! All those clothes and all these shots. How many people besides yourself were involved?

Aside me of me and Stephanie (the producer), she hired a full video production team for the day. It was a LONG shoot with a lot of makeup changes!

It shows, well done hahaha. It’s so important to keep doing light things with heavy things in life.

Hilarious.

It was the perfect tonic and approach for a topic which divides everyone.

Who says you can add humour to intelligent discourse!

On a serious note that; the whole discussion of AI and it's social integration; is a fool's errand at this point... but that's just my own slant
