Episode Description from the Publisher

Ness turns a dog-riding selfie into a shockingly authentic AI-generated Magic card, kicking off a bigger conversation about what happens to kids growing up in a world where AI does the creating for them, and whether authenticity and originality still mean anything. Ness and Jeff also get into the publishing industry's AI authorship crisis and debate whether a fully AI-generated book would be worth reading. Plus: a comparison of public reaction to Lindsay Clancy and Shiloh Hendrix ("better dead than racist"), and a quick take on Tyler Robinson's not guilty plea in the Kirk case.
