Will Slack & Snapchat Run Your Social Life? The AI Auto-Reply Revolution with Jen Campbell, Jason Kapadia and Jag Sharma - Episode 41
Could software get to know you well enough to become your surrogate social communicator?
Between Snapchat Plus and Slack, we’re seeing yet another fascinating AI implementation between episodes of Disconnected, bringing the prospect of a digital personal assistant ever-closer.
Join Jag Sharma, Jen Campbell and Jason Kapadia for a deep dive into these GPT tools, the TikTok-ification of Reddit, and the surprising modern day use for floppy disks…
This episode of Disconnected covers:
Snapchat being the latest platform to add AI tools to its arsenal
Slack summarising your conversations for you, or even taking them over altogether
Reddit creating its own TikTok-style video feed
The surprising, high-level use of floppy disks in modern companies
Episode Highlights:
“Every week, there's a new story that comes out with a new AI technology put into some tool that we use already. Snap is the next one - they’ve come out to say that they’re launching AI in Snapchat Plus.” - 1:05 - Jen Campbell
“The whole thing about their platform is that it's playful. They've taken this technology, and they're using it in a way that complements who they are, what they do, what they stand for.” - 3:30 - Jag Sharma
“What would take hours can be done in minutes now. I can get GPT to reply to messages for me automatically, so it can actually look like I'm doing work when I could be sleeping!” - 7:20 - Jason Kapadia
“I don't mind having slack send messages for me when I'm asleep, as long as it comes with a bit of a caveat that says, ‘I'm offline at the moment, this is the likely response but I will get back to you when I'm back online, in case it's not’.” - 10:55 - Jen Campbell
“With the younger generation, I think they're going to be so immersed in AI, with AI knowing so much about them probably from their health to their socials and their schooling; I think they’ll have this implicit trust in the AI probably by default.” - 16:25 - Jason Kapadia
“Sometimes there's a place for video, sometimes there’s a place for text, and Reddit is going to actually deliver it into two separate feeds now, which I think is going to be really, really good.” - 21:00 - Jen Campbell
“Until 2019, believe it or not, the US nuclear weapons programme ran on eight inch floppy disks, and that was just a couple of years ago!” - 22:35 - Jag Sharma
