Artificial Intelligence

Personalized AI Joke Writer

Standup Comedy, Artificial IntelligenceYogi SinghComment

Idea: To train artificial intelligence (AI) based on your jokes (i.e. nobody else's jokes) and have it suggest new jokes for you based on your style. Also: incorporating audience reaction to your jokes in the AI training algorithm; configuring the AI to suggest jokes slightly outside of your usual style (for example, dirtier jokes); bad AI and privacy concerns on Netflix and social media; having AI generate smells based on audio/visual input, including fart smells based on the sound of the fart (FartGPT)

AI Robot Probation Supervisor and Caretaker

Artificial Intelligence, Robots, NSFW, EvilTom WalmaComment

Idea: To give prisoners the option to get out early if we amputate their arms (or put them in arm-locking exoskeletons) and give them AI robots to monitor them and care for them. Because if these robots of the near-future can do everything, not having arms would no longer be debilitating. Also: robots or exoskeletons with cameras and AI could monitor you while you're on probation, and detect, for example, if a white collar criminal tries to violate the terms of their probation by using a computer; the risk of the family members of armless prisoners on probation taunting them mercilessly because they can no longer fight back; using AI robots to monitor and care for those with mental disabilities; a previous idea on this podcast that offended people on social media (like this idea might do)

"I Get It" Augmented Reality Relationship Assistant

App, Artificial Intelligence, Futuristic, TechSarah MarchiComment

Idea: An augmented-reality app that develops a personality model of your partner and constantly listens to and watches them, and uses AI to predict how to you should respond to their questions and to their emotional needs in order to keep them happy. Also: displaying a list of options of what you should do, along with percentage certainties of each option, and reasons why; your partner's AR glasses could be measuring their vitals (heart rate, hormones, etc.) all day and transmitting it to your AR glasses for them to show you a gauge of their estimated level of anger before you interact with them; parents and teenagers using the AR relationship assistant app, and why it might not work; if you get used to the peace and understanding that the AR relationship assistant provides and then the software crashes, you might immediately go at each other in chaotic rage like two rabid squirrels trapped in a sack

Tabletop Game AI Assistant

App, Artificial Intelligence, Event or ActivityLisa GreenComment

Idea: An app which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist (not replace) the dungeon master and possibly other players in "Dungeons & Dragons" (D&D) and other similar tabletop games. Also: helping the dungeon master by generating maps, NPCs, rooms, quests, etc. before the game and/or on-the-fly during the game, using configured settings, randomization, and the current state of the game (which the AI would know by listening to the game); explaining D&D to newbies (both in this podcast and in the proposed app); using AI to generate a visual display of the current state of the game for all of the players, including the floor plan of the current room, info of the NPCs you're interacting with, etc.; drinking while playing D&D and other tabletop games

HackGPT

App, Artificial Intelligence, Standup ComedyRachel SantosComment

Idea: An app for comedians which uses AI to analyze recordings of their sets and split it into separate jokes, rate the audience reaction to each joke, and create tags (hashtags, not "joke tags") to organize the jokes into broad categories, such as "parenting" or "dating". Also: creating a profile for a comedy venue of how well different types of jokes (by tag) do there, to help comics tweak their sets to accomodate the venue before ever performing there; using AI-based profiles of comics to choose who to book, and possibly causing venues to segregate into comedy niches; using AI to detect if a joke is too common, hacky, or stolen; tricking the AI

AI Restaurant Picker App

App, Food, Artificial IntelligenceChris YoungComment

Idea: An app that each member of a group who're gonna eat together have on their phone, which collects everyone's food preferences, dietary restrictions, restaurant ratings, recent food orders, etc. and uses AI, randomization, info from restaurants (possibly even real-time info, like how busy they are), etc. to pick a restaurant to eat at or order from. Also: avoiding the age-old stalemate of "where do you wanna go", "I don't know, where do you wanna go"; having the app pick the restaurant could prevent people from assigning toxic blame to each other if the restaurant sucks, because it's not their fault, it's the app's fault; keeping track of how often a restaurant which is more preferred by one person than another is picked, to balance things out; showing bullet points of the reasons why a particular restaurant is picked (maybe one out of a group of ten is a vegan), and allowing you to choose to exclude a particular reason and retry picking a restaurant; including custom criteria like time, cost, etc.
