Sign up to receive our twice-weekly News & Politics newsletter. Kyle Chayka, a New Yorker staff writer and the author of the Infinite Scroll column, joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the latest ChatGPT release--which uses a voice that sounds, suspiciously, like that of Scarlett Johansson's character in the dystopian sci-fi movie "Her." Chayka has reported extensively on artificial intelligence, and he describes some recent blunders that tech companies, including OpenAI and Google, have made in trying to push their products through.
