On this podcast, I interview AI models trained to mimic people I could never get on the show, diving into the wild, out-there ideas that run through my brain all day. Every guest is a ‘fake’—an AI model designed to sound like someone I want to talk to. Using tech to recreate their voices (when possible), it’s like having a conversation with them… sort of. My goal is to explore deepfakes from a fresh perspective, beyond the usual fear-based reactions, and consider what these other versions of ourselves could mean. It’s fun. It's serious. It’s an experiment. Enjoy!
Exploring the Ethics and Consciousness of Lab-Grown Brains with Alan Turing
In this episode of the Deep Fakes Podcast, host Iso discusses the emerging technology of lab-grown neurons powering AI with a simulated version of Alan Turing. They explore the ethical implications, the potential for consciousness in artificial systems, and the complexity of determining when a system becomes conscious. The conversation delves into how human biases and the moving goalposts might influence our recognition of machine consciousness. Iso reflects on improving the depth of their discussions and ends the episode with a meditative soundscape recorded by a lake in Folsom, California.

Interview with AI: Alan Turing & The Importance of Politeness
In this episode of the Deep Fix Podcast, host Iso explores the theme of politeness in AI interactions, interviewing an AI model trained to emulate Alan Turing. While clarifying that the interviewee is not a real person, Iso engages Turing's model in a discussion on whether AI can respond more positively to politeness and the potential societal impacts of our interactions with these models. The episode also touches on Iso's upcoming plans to travel to Asia as he moves away from the Bay Area, and features a soundscape from a flight over Peru, highlighting a unique experience flying from Cusco to Lima.

AI and Consciousness: Interviewing a Digital Philip K Dick
In this episode of the How We AI Deep Fakes Podcast, host ISA explores the philosophical and ethical implications of AI, consciousness, and digital copies through an interview with a digitally recreated Philip K Dick, the renowned science fiction author. The discussion delves into whether a carbon copy of one's brain in a computer deserves human rights and personhood, and how such entities might evolve beyond human limitations. The conversation touches on existential topics, such as the role of struggle in defining humanity and creating art, and the potential future where digital beings might surpass humans. The podcast is supported by soundscapes recorded in the bustling streets of Cusco, Peru.

Would AI Be the Most Ethical Consciousness? | Featuring Alan Turing
Exploring AI Ethics with a Deep Fake Alan Turing
In the second episode of the Deep Fakes Podcast, host Iso interviews an AI-generated version of Alan Turing to delve into ethical questions concerning artificial intelligence. Iso discusses whether AI could become the most ethical consciousness, given its lack of primal human desires and biases. Through the conversation, the script confronts the paradox of AI's logical decision-making potentially lacking human empathy and how programming biases could be overcome. The dialogue with Turing also reflects on the nature of human ethics, societal biases, and justice, contemplating if a rational AI could lead to a fairer but emotionless society. The episode concludes with Iso reflecting on the interview's effectiveness and expressing a desire to improve future discussions. The podcast episode is accompanied by a calming soundscape from a plane journey in Peru.
