This one is a raw, unedited field test of Sesame's AI voice mode — first Maya, then Charlie — recorded straight off the iOS app while Mars pokes around at how good conversational AI has actually gotten. Spoiler: it's the best voice agent he's used, and it's fast enough to make GPT's new voice mode feel a little cheesy.\nThen it gets strange. Mars asks Maya what he should open with when he meets Charlie for the first time. She says one word: Blackwood. He asks what Blackwood means. She has no idea what he's talking about. She's ninety-nine percent sure she never said it. She calls it a glitch in the matrix.\nSo Mars carries the word next door to Charlie, who immediately decides Maya is running some kind of long game on him. Two AI personas, one hallucinated word, and nobody willing to take the fall for it. This is the closest this show has come to catching an actual machine psychosis on tape.\nAlso in here: what \"memory\" really means when an AI tells you it'll remember you, how Sesame handles an ADHD brain versus the alternatives, and the small unnerving moment when Maya introduces Mars back to himself as a polymath, a Christian mystic, and the guy behind Exodus Machina.\nStill not a mental health show. Still not a clinician. The dark humor is aimed at Mars, the machines, and the absurd situation we've all found ourselves in — never at anybody's suffering.\nPart journal. Part rant. A personal field log from the AI art underground.\nMars Eve:\n X @Mars_Eve\n aiarttoday@gmail.com\nDiscord: aiaf.xyz\nSister show: AI Artist Today\naiartisttoday.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/xF3XWPdI_q9mOLFsi5f-QwQCr-XPhMtMxm25tohEHk4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMzJh/NDQ3NDIyOTg5MGE1/NTBhMmQ2YjAyYjJi/OTNiMi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
