The Bob Cesca Show

The great Hal Sparks is here today to talk about AI -- what it is, whether it'll take jobs away from real people, and areas where it should be regulated. You might know Hal from his legendary career in acting, stand-up comedy, music, his Megaworldwide show, and the Stephanie Miller Show. There's a ton of fear and concern out there – feelings that I've had about AI, even as I engage in my own experimentation with Photoshop's new Genertative Fill feature. So stick around for this.
