AI and I

Learn how the smartest people in the world are using AI to think, create, and relate. Each week I interview founders, filmmakers, writers, investors, and others about how they use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney in their work and in their lives. We screen-share through their historical chats and then experiment with AI live on the show. Join us to discover how AI is changing how we think about our world—and ourselves.

    Well done, Dan
    No clue how I stumbled upon "Every with Dan Shipper," but as an AI enthusiast and a subscriber to their newsletter, I'm totally hooked! Dan's passion for AI is contagious, and the way he explores its applications with guests is absolutely brilliant. It broadens our understanding of AI and its potential applications in such an engaging way. The episode featuring Peter D. Kramer, one of Dan's favorite authors, was a gem. They discussed Kramer's work, including Dan's love for his book, and then delved into sharing ChatGPT use cases. Capturing the Kramer’s real-time reaction to ChatGPT, albeit lukewarm, added an interesting perspective to the conversation. And the honest discussion about antidepressants and Prozac was so refreshing to hear. Dan, you're killing it! I encourage you to keep bringing on guests who have minimally used or are new to AI tools, and experimenting with them live on the show. It's fascinating stuff, whether I'm listening to the podcast or watching it on YouTube. If you're into AI and its growing influence in various domains, you've gotta check out this podcast and their newsletter. Trust me, you won't regret it!
