THE AI CON Publicity Tour
It has been a wild few weeks with non-stop media work as we do our best to get the word about about The AI Con. It's been super interesting, too, to experience the different kinds of questions we get asked in different venues, and to hone our answers as we go.
The book talk we did at San Jose State University was a particularly rich one for new turns of phrase, with Alex coining "the con has consequences", Emily referring to ChatGPT as "Clippy's great great great grand spawn", and both of us learning the phrase "data heist" from Roxana Marachi.
You can find all of our book-related media on the book page, and we will keep updating that as more comes out. Here, we wanted to share a few particular favorites:
- Tech Won't Save Us podcast: Generative AI is Not Inevitable (May 22, 2025)
- New Day Northwest (May 19, 2025; we got to be in studio at Seattle's KING5 TV!)
- ESC KEY .CO says “TL;DR” = “Totally Legit; Def. Read” (May 18, 2025)
- Marketplace Tech (May 14, 2025; depending on what sponsor message plays before this, the opening can be very amusing)
- SF Examiner: AI researchers hope to pierce technology’s hype with new book (May 6, 2025)
- Tech Policy Press: Taking on the AI Con (June 1, 2025)
If you enjoy these, too, please share them with a friend or otherwise help us spread the word!
Our book, The AI Con, is now available wherever fine books are sold!
