I love experiments. In a way, this whole newsletter is one big experiment gone right, so why not try something new?
That’s what I thought when I woke up this morning, and I’ve learned that when you have a idea, it’s better to act on it fast, before you change your mind or find an excuse for why you shouldn’t do it. Better a swing and a miss than to have never swung at all.
Long story short, I’m launching a monthly segment called AI Office Hours. It’s bit like having someone call into your radio show, but without the radio show. And instead of calling, all you have to do is send me an email or leave a comment below with a fun and engaging question. It’s that simple.
I’ve already asked ChatGPT to come up with a marketing-friendly pitch:
AI Office Hours is your go-to monthly segment for demystifying the world of conversational AI — whether you’re curious about AI companions, workplace automation, ethical dilemmas, or the latest in chatbot technology. Join us in explore the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and discover how it’s shaping our future, one question at a time.
Now all I need is your input.
So, have you been reading my newsletter for a while and are you wildly curious about a certain topic that I haven’t covered yet? Email me. Read an article in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times or somewhere else that left you with more questions than answers? Ask away! Fell in love with your AI girlfriend and don’t know how to tell your wife? Tell me about it.
Send in your questions now and I promise I’ll answer them as best as I can.
The first edition of AI Office Hours will go live in April.
As always, thank you for reading Teaching computers how to talk.
Speak soon,

Sort of a meta-question, but: which 3 questions do you recommend every leader or individual ask themselves when it comes to preparing for AI? Or: what should people be asking themselves before jumping into AI?
As a graphic designer, I encounter a lot of AI in the commercial world. In which, in the future, no product photographers or models will need to be paid. Also, many artists are currently in revolt because their work is being used/scanned to create AI art. There are even galleries that already prohibit AI art. Will there be a way to recognize this kind of work in the future? Or will there be laws requiring a watermark to be shown if it's AI-generated? So, my question is, are there laws or regulations for creative expression?
Of course, I asked ChatGPT this question as well... :)
