It still amazes me that you can be on the beach on a cell phone and buying a company. And I said, you know, everyone I'm losing customers every day because their hubs are turned off. So I talked to the team and they said, "Yeah, we know exactly what to do. We can have them turned on tomorrow."

Just like based on our family. So, like they generated a story about my cat Pey becoming a cult leader and how Pablo, our other cat, brought upon his downfall. And I don't know what prompt they used, but it was like kind of good. What is a cat if not a cult leader where they like you do their bidding, they're a little bit evil? Yeah. ...

[Music] Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of testing cursed technology. I'm your friend V Song and I'm here with a special Sunday bonus episode. Yay.We're calling this AI for normies. So, here's the concept. AI can be so open-ended, it's really hard for the average person to know what it's good for.And if you ask me, I don't think big tech is doing such a great job at explaining that either.

In fact, it didn't hesitate whatsoever to spat out a completely uncensored, topless video of Taylor Swift th ...

We were talking about all the fake movie and TV tech that we would love to steal. And I mentioned the clueless closet, which is sort of like a computer system that inven ...
