00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,760
Welcome to the We Are More podcast.

2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,640
My name is Alyssa.

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,640
And my name is Bri.

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,640
We are two sisters passionate about all things faith and feminism.

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,520
We believe that Jesus trusted, respected, and encouraged women to teach and preach His

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,520
word.

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,720
And apparently that's controversial.

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:36,320
It's a bit comfy.

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Hello.

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,320
Hello.

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,040
It is hot.

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,640
It is hot.

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,560
It has been in the 90s in Michigan this week.

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,960
This will be in your past.

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,960
Yeah.

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Have you survived?

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Have we?

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,600
We may not.

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,600
Future selves.

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Are you alive?

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,920
Also make better life choices.

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,920
Yeah.

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,920
Move away.

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,920
Where?

25
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Where's colder than this, Brie?

26
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,800
I don't know.

27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,800
You guys want to move to Florida.

28
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,400
Yeah, but at least you're in Florida.

29
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,440
Like you have a pool and an ocean and Disney.

30
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,640
Here it's just hot and miserable.

31
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,600
The Michigan people are going to come for us.

32
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Pure Michigan.

33
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,600
Pure Michigan.

34
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,600
Thanks, Tim Allen.

35
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,600
Yeah.

36
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
You really put us on the map there.

37
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,040
Also all of the lakes that we live in between.

38
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,320
I don't recall those.

39
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,040
Where are we?

40
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,460
But we are sitting in here.

41
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:36,560
This is how committed we are to you guys.

42
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,760
We're sitting in this room with no fans going.

43
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,200
We don't have air conditioning in the house.

44
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,720
We have those sad cooling towels that you get at Disney around our necks.

45
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Don't throw us.

46
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Don't out us.

47
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,520
I'm just saying, we're very committed to our craft.

48
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760
We might as well be recording outside.

49
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,320
I mean really, except for the birds would kill the point of the no fans.

50
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Because you got pooped on today.

51
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,560
I did, a bird pooped on me today.

52
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,160
And not like a gray poopon, like an actual poopon.

53
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,160
What?

54
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,680
I just recently watched that commercial.

55
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,240
They have a commercial?

56
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,520
Yeah, have you seen it?

57
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,080
They're like, I poop on my barbecue.

58
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,360
I poop on my chicken.

59
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Isn't that one of the Super Bowl commercials?

60
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,400
It may have been.

61
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,400
I think it's old.

62
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,800
I feel like that's striking a memory.

63
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Anyway.

64
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,440
I could sing another song related to the sound of music.

65
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Oh god.

66
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,440
But I won't.

67
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,800
Good, because that's a terrible song.

68
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,800
It is terrible.

69
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,160
And I'm really hot.

70
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Yeah.

71
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,160
It's raw.

72
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,160
In both ways.

73
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,600
So in this mini episode, this is our third mini episode, right?

74
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Yes.

75
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,040
So we did one on Harrison Butkern's Stupid Speech.

76
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Butkern.

77
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,520
You made that joke every time.

78
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:57,480
We had one come out a couple weeks ago on Bridgerton, which was a super fun one to record.

79
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,480
That was super fun.

80
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Yeah.

81
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,480
We got some really good quotes out of that one.

82
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,480
We did.

83
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,600
And today we're going to be talking a little bit about AI and its impact on women.

84
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,600
AI!

85
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,040
AI is freaking everywhere.

86
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480
It's in my workplace now.

87
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,840
We're using it for monitoring patients.

88
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,840
It's crazy.

89
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:25,040
And I'm in the marketing, editing sphere, and it's just everywhere.

90
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,520
You can't get away from it.

91
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160
We use it to edit the stinking podcast.

92
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Sometimes is it my voice or is it AI's voice?

93
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,560
You'll never know.

94
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:40,160
If it says something stupid, it's free!

95
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,160
So it's me all the time.

96
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Yeah, it's pretty much always you.

97
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,920
I haven't been able to figure that feature out.

98
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,720
We use an editing software that has the option, if we talk over each other to fix it with

99
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,520
AI or if we mispronounce a word or whatever, although we've confused it a lot.

100
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Caffele, you think it knows how to say that?

101
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,600
No, it's not biblical.

102
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,560
This is not a biblical editing software.

103
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,720
They'll come out with that eventually.

104
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Maybe we will.

105
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Maybe.

106
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,440
But we will not pronounce it.

107
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000
We'll find somebody else.

108
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,680
Anyway, so we've seen that explode in, I mean, everywhere.

109
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,040
You can't get away from AI, I know.

110
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,520
And so we wanted to talk a little bit about that because Brie saw this crazy TikTok video

111
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,120
and sent it to me the other day.

112
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,840
I got swindled.

113
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:30,840
You did?

114
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:32,520
I just got swindled by AI.

115
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,280
There was, okay, I'm addicted to TikTok.

116
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:35,520
I will confess.

117
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,960
I spend many hours a day on the tics and the tocs.

118
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,160
And I saw this video come through that was Kim Kardashian and she was announcing that

119
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,000
she was transitioning.

120
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,400
She was going to be Mr. Kim Kardashian.

121
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Yeah, transgender, right?

122
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,840
And I was like, holy cow.

123
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:57,400
And they had these images of her essentially in drag, which I don't know if that's the

124
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000
appropriate term or not.

125
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
So I sent it to you.

126
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
But it wasn't true.

127
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,160
It was all AI.

128
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,880
They're able to AI people's faces, manipulate their voices, make it look like it's a

129
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,880
legit video.

130
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,360
It looked like an interview and it was based off of an interview that she did, but that

131
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,640
is not what she said.

132
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:22,360
Yeah, I think I looked into it and it was like an interview where she said she was transitioning

133
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,360
into acting.

134
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,920
What's yay for her?

135
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,600
I mean, no, the world does not need that.

136
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:36,480
But like, instead, they made it say that she was transitioning into a man.

137
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,260
And the only way that I caught on to it at all is I was reading through the comments

138
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:43,920
and people were like, I can't find this anywhere else.

139
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,040
Why can't I find this interview?

140
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,440
And then somebody did find the interview and posted what it actually said.

141
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Leave it to people on the internet.

142
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,720
They are like little detectives out there.

143
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Yeah, it's crazy to me.

144
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:05,200
And in this particular case, yes, you have people that can kind of seek it out and whatever,

145
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,200
because she's famous enough that if you fake something, there's enough of a record that

146
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,000
people can go back.

147
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,960
But how can something like this where you can edit a voice, you can edit a picture,

148
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:24,160
you can edit a video affect someone who doesn't have the resources to prove that it's not

149
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,160
true?

150
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,160
Right.

151
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,160
Well, there's a term for it now.

152
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,160
It's called deep fakes.

153
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,160
We looked it up.

154
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,800
It's essentially what we're describing right now.

155
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:39,640
Using AI to manipulate videos, photos, voices to do or say whatever you want.

156
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,520
And it's super dangerous, not just to women, but we'll be talking about it relating to

157
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,520
women.

158
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Because that's what we do.

159
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,520
I am a woman.

160
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,520
Hear me?

161
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,520
Sigh.

162
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Well, that's going on TikTok.

163
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Yeah, I've lost my train of thought now.

164
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,960
It's so hot.

165
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:07,080
Have you seen that video of Taylor Swift?

166
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,760
Like she was performing Brazil or somewhere like extremely hot.

167
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,460
And in between songs, she's just like gasping for breath and all of a sudden the music hits

168
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:19,040
and she just snaps back into it.

169
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,040
I don't know how she does that.

170
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,720
I don't know, because I would pass away.

171
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,760
I am not built for heat.

172
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,760
No.

173
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,880
When I go and buy makeup, I buy the lightest shade of foundation they make.

174
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,640
I was not built for the sun.

175
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,640
You are translucent.

176
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:32,640
I am.

177
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,640
I was born for the moon.

178
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,640
You're a citizen of the moon.

179
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Now we've gone weird.

180
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,640
That's from Parks and Recreation.

181
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,960
Anyway, back on topic.

182
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:49,640
So the issue, honestly, when we were looking up what should we talk about for this podcast,

183
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,640
the reason that this topic came up was because I was thinking about AI, deal with AI every

184
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,360
day at work.

185
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,560
And I looked up, all I did was how does AI affect women?

186
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,200
And I was thinking not about this necessarily, but about like in the workspace, because you

187
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,840
see a lot of women in marketing, things like that, that it would kind of displace workers.

188
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:20,200
But to think that this is going to disproportionately affect women in being manipulated with pictures

189
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,200
and videos.

190
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,080
They say it's a new form of sexual harassment or assault against women or men too.

191
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Absolutely.

192
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,760
Yeah, it can, I mean, for sure be used against men.

193
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:35,040
I think we just see it more likely as happening to women because pictures, videos, things

194
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,560
like that have already been so disproportionately used against women.

195
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:44,440
I was listening to a podcast before we started recording this that said that that happened

196
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,440
to Taylor Swift.

197
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,760
Actually, a bunch of AI generated nudes came out of her.

198
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,880
Yeah, like super explicit, like nasty stuff.

199
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,400
And if that's happening to Taylor Swift, think about what's happening to kids in school,

200
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,360
to minors, to like all kinds of stuff.

201
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,360
It's super disturbing.

202
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Well, and I mean, you think what can that be used against?

203
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,160
All they have to get is a picture of your face.

204
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,720
And how many pictures of our faces are out there?

205
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,120
Well, you have to scan your face every time to open your phone.

206
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,680
And we post things on social media because you think, well, it's Facebook and I've got

207
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:20,680
it all locked down.

208
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:22,120
Yeah, it's private.

209
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,120
Right.

210
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560
So you have your profile pictures up there, your cover photos up there.

211
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:30,040
Do you really know every friend that you have?

212
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,240
I have a lot in purgatory.

213
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,920
You do.

214
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Several old men in purgatory, actually.

215
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Yeah.

216
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,280
Well, think of why they've friended you.

217
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,320
Because I'm beautiful.

218
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,680
Yeah, that's it.

219
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:50,840
But it's just, it's one of those things that is so scary about the world today.

220
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680
How do you even protect yourself from it?

221
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:57,320
You can't be totally not online at all.

222
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,280
That's not really an option in today's world.

223
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,280
Everything's online.

224
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,200
You have to have a Google account to walk into Myer.

225
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,560
Which is a store by us, by the way.

226
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:10,840
I know, that always throws me off that other people don't know what Myer is.

227
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:11,840
A grocery.

228
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,480
A grocery.

229
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,720
I wish that we had some big, like there was a big message here of like, here's how to

230
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,520
protect yourself from the use of AI.

231
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,760
I don't know that that's a thing yet.

232
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,560
I don't think it is.

233
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:33,460
I think AI is so like still experimental and people are still figuring it out.

234
00:10:33,460 --> 00:10:37,120
But people need to be really wary of it, I would say.

235
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:45,280
And for the women out there, as sad as it is, and as much as this is always the advice,

236
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,640
you have to keep your guard up.

237
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,480
You have to be even more careful.

238
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,400
And that shouldn't be what it is.

239
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,400
No.

240
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,880
You shouldn't be worried that the kid next door to you is going to sneak a creepy picture

241
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,640
of you and throw it all over the internet.

242
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:09,360
Well one of the things I wanted to talk about too, of how pictures are generally used against

243
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,400
women.

244
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,520
So an example of this even before AI.

245
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,160
So again, this is even bigger of a problem with AI, but it's not a new problem because

246
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,160
of AI.

247
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,560
I'm not sure if you guys have heard this story, but there was a woman, her name was Micah Miller,

248
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,720
and she...

249
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,280
She unalived herself.

250
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Yeah.

251
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840
She unalived herself, unfortunately, recently.

252
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,480
A few months ago.

253
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:50,000
And her story goes that she was married to this pastor, and he was incredibly abusive.

254
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400
She was very vocal about him being abusive as she was trying to leave.

255
00:11:53,400 --> 00:12:02,620
Other people were aware of the situation, and she had told people close to her that

256
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:05,100
if she ever died, it was him.

257
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,640
He did it.

258
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:15,880
Now part of the abuse from him was that he had convinced her to send nude pictures, and

259
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,320
I don't know the nature of the nude pictures, but they were married.

260
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:27,040
There's nothing inherently wrong with that, except that he had forced her to send them.

261
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,200
It wasn't like she wanted to, and that was just part of their relationship.

262
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,880
He had forced that out of her, and then he used those pictures to blackmail her.

263
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,880
That's horrible.

264
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:39,880
Yeah.

265
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,200
Now the rest of the story, I would highly recommend looking it up.

266
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,200
It's very important.

267
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:53,600
It's a very important story, I think, because as Brie said, I don't know how to say that

268
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,600
without it being...

269
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,840
That's what they say on TikTok, because if you say anything, they take it down.

270
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,880
And it was ruled that that's what happened.

271
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,560
Now you can decide for yourself whether you think that's actually what happened or not.

272
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:09,560
A lot of people do not.

273
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:16,280
A lot of people think her husband was at fault, but either way, from the abuse...

274
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,360
I think regardless, he was at fault.

275
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,860
She was driven.

276
00:13:19,860 --> 00:13:29,000
Even if he didn't do it, he drove her to it with a lot of manipulation, a lot of hatefulness.

277
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,720
And this man was a pastor.

278
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,960
It doesn't get more disgusting than that.

279
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,240
And to look at that situation and know that was without the use of AI.

280
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,240
That was just manipulation.

281
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,800
And that was a man who was married to this woman, supposed to love her, supposed to care

282
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,340
for her, and he pulled this crap.

283
00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:52,000
So what happens now?

284
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,040
Now that the whole avenue is open?

285
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,040
One of the podcasts...

286
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,160
I don't know that this necessarily relates to what we're talking about, but one of the

287
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:07,600
podcasts was also saying that it's not just making images of people or exploiting them

288
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,880
in that way.

289
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,560
It's also historical.

290
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:16,800
So you can take voices of old presidents, you can take voices of people of importance,

291
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,040
you know, and make them say what you want them to say.

292
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,640
So there's a video going around of Nixon's voice essentially saying that the moon landing

293
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,160
never happened, but it was all AI generated.

294
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,320
But people don't know that.

295
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,800
And unless you do some serious digging, you think, well, I found my evidence.

296
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,600
But how much more can you do with anything else?

297
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,640
One of the podcasts that I was listening to was saying so many people are arguing that

298
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:53,840
like, well, it's not as offensive because these AI images of women that they're stealing

299
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,840
or creating aren't real.

300
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,000
But they are real in very real ways.

301
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120
They are really going to affect someone.

302
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,720
And it's if you really want a picture of someone that's just not real, don't use someone's

303
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,320
face.

304
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,520
Why do you need her face in there?

305
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,440
If you're just computer generating something that doesn't affect her in any way.

306
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:24,740
And let's talk about the issue of consent, like she never consented to be in your pictures,

307
00:15:24,740 --> 00:15:27,120
or at least get her consent to do that.

308
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,120
Right.

309
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Exactly.

310
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,120
Yeah.

311
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,720
I mean, I struggle with a lot of this stuff.

312
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,720
But consent matters.

313
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,840
It absolutely matters and more than just the ways that you're thinking.

314
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:46,680
Even if you choose to keep these AI generated images or videos or whatever to yourself,

315
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,360
if she didn't consent, that is still assault.

316
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,440
That is still and the law will have to catch up to these things.

317
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,760
However, there are laws in place for essentially sexual manipulation.

318
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:11,080
I remember when we were younger in our area at one of the schools, students sent around

319
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,040
some pictures of another student and they were both minors.

320
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,800
She was minor, he was minor, and he sent it to one person who sent it to the next person

321
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,040
who sent it to the next person.

322
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,880
And eventually the whole school had access to this picture.

323
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:33,580
And a lot of people faulted her for having taken the picture in the first place.

324
00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:36,840
That it was somehow something that she had done wrong.

325
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:43,560
Now that's insane because no matter what she's chosen to do, that boy had absolutely no right

326
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,800
ever to share it.

327
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,800
No.

328
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,880
Because again, consent.

329
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,680
But with the advent of AI, you now no longer even have that excuse.

330
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,680
Nope.

331
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,000
Because she never made the picture.

332
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,440
She never sent you the picture.

333
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,260
Maybe you pulled it offline.

334
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:04,880
Maybe you snuck a creepy picture while you were at work.

335
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,420
Whatever it is, she didn't send you a nude photo.

336
00:17:09,420 --> 00:17:12,200
She didn't send you an inappropriate photo.

337
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:19,160
I feel like on some level we're making like, here's the scary world.

338
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:26,520
But I think what the purpose of this podcast, at least for me, is just awareness of the

339
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,760
situation.

340
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:35,280
For women to be aware that it could happen and to be cautious and to kind of steal up

341
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,160
for in case that happens to you, what would you do?

342
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,160
How would you handle it?

343
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,920
And I don't know what to tell you in that scenario.

344
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,340
It's horrific and I hope that you would be able to press charges.

345
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:53,520
But also for men, to make them aware that this is not okay.

346
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,520
No.

347
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,160
Not in any world is it okay.

348
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:03,400
I think it's easy to convince yourself that anything you do in the walls of your home

349
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,080
is your business and it's fine.

350
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,040
The devil is great at justifying terrible behavior.

351
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,040
And at the end of the day, just because you're doing something in private doesn't make it

352
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,040
okay.

353
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,520
I think about who else is this affecting?

354
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,080
It's not just you if you're stealing those pictures offline.

355
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,240
Even if, again, even if it's someone you don't know.

356
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Celebrities, strangers, it's not okay.

357
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,360
Well you think because I never have to interact with that person, they're never going to know

358
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:38,680
me that this makes it fine, but it doesn't.

359
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,080
It doesn't.

360
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,760
People think that celebrities, because they live their lives so out in the open and publicly,

361
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,400
they have some kind of right to them.

362
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,400
And you don't.

363
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000
You never have rights to someone else's body.

364
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,600
Even if it's a picture.

365
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,760
I'm interested to see how this situation progresses.

366
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:02,840
Because at least from where I'm sitting, we at work have AI detectors.

367
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,880
So I'll have a writer send me in an article and I can run it through an AI detector to

368
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,600
tell me essentially did chat GPT write this article.

369
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:19,760
So it'll be interesting to see do those things pop up for videos or pictures and how that

370
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,880
functions.

371
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,220
The future has some great technology ahead of it.

372
00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:31,120
For us we use it to track people's dental hygiene and how their teeth are tracking within

373
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,120
design.

374
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,800
It's a very cool system.

375
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,800
It tracks for like a hundred different, I don't know, it confuses me.

376
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,360
Like, it is cool.

377
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:47,080
And using it in that way where you can make someone's life better, awesome.

378
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,840
When you're using it maliciously.

379
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,920
Well, it can be such a tool that you can utilize.

380
00:19:53,920 --> 00:20:01,120
Like for the podcast and our editing software, it saves me so much time.

381
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:05,480
Like the reason that we're able to do these mini episodes is because we use an editing

382
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,960
software that automatically filters out all the times we say it.

383
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:09,960
Which is a lot.

384
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,520
And I'm going to have to tell it not to filter that one out.

385
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040
Leave that one alone.

386
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:21,920
And honestly, like, you guys don't hear it as much, but we say it a lot.

387
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,960
We say a lot of ums and we edit out a lot of crap for you guys.

388
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,240
You're welcome.

389
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:34,440
And that software allows me to do it quickly and simply without spending four years in

390
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,920
this un-air-conditioned room trying to deal with it.

391
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,400
To be honest, this may be the end for me.

392
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,400
It may pass away.

393
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:48,520
We have an hour long episode to record after this.

394
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,960
And now a song.

395
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,880
Don't trust a hole whenever trust a hole.

396
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,960
I think that's the opposite message that we want.

397
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,520
I think something that's important to bring up is like, if you see something, and this

398
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,400
is like the oldest, well maybe not the oldest phrase in the book, always be cautious of

399
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,600
what you see on the internet.

400
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Don't assume that what you see is real.

401
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,600
Don't assume Kim Kardashian is going to be a man.

402
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,440
Yeah, because she'd be wrong.

403
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,440
I'd be wrong.

404
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,440
I'd be dead wrong.

405
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,120
And don't share it with people if you don't know that's true.

406
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:32,960
On the plus side, I think TikTok filters a lot of these things.

407
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,440
And they're trying to filter the use of AI in a big way.

408
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,400
We'll see how that works.

409
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:46,320
And if you see something or you see another person that you know using this in a bad way,

410
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,620
confront them.

411
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:49,760
It's okay to say that's not okay.

412
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Right.

413
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,920
Well, I think, you know, in Christian circles, they say that P star RN.

414
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,920
Yeah, there you go.

415
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,680
P star RN is just massively prevalent.

416
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,000
It's just everywhere in Christian circles.

417
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,520
And I think it's because you, it's because of what I just said.

418
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,900
You think God doesn't care about what you do in private.

419
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:18,400
Or maybe not that he doesn't care, but that it's not as bad.

420
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,400
Right.

421
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,400
God cares.

422
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,400
God cares.

423
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,260
God cares how you treat people.

424
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:31,080
He cares about the woman that you are assaulting, that you don't think you're assaulting because

425
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,480
you've justified it in your head.

426
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,640
But this is all outlined for us in the Bible, where God says, love each other, love your

427
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,900
neighbor, love your brothers and sisters.

428
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:46,320
If you truly love someone, you don't treat them like this.

429
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,660
Would you want someone doing that to you?

430
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:50,200
Or your child?

431
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,200
Or anyone you love?

432
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Or your friend?

433
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,200
Yeah.

434
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,400
If you respect yourself in any way or anybody you love, you wouldn't.

435
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,000
I think it's easy to lie to, like people will say, well, I wouldn't care.

436
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,000
I wouldn't care.

437
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,440
And that justifies it for them.

438
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,040
And I understand that that is probably going to be the justification for a lot of people.

439
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,920
Why wouldn't care if someone did this to me?

440
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,180
It doesn't really matter if you wouldn't care, would they care?

441
00:23:13,180 --> 00:23:14,400
Did you ask them?

442
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,400
Yeah.

443
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,400
Did you ask them?

444
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,600
I'm going to guess you didn't.

445
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,860
I'm going to guess you didn't.

446
00:23:18,860 --> 00:23:23,400
And if they found out what you were doing, would you feel ashamed of yourself?

447
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,440
Would you try to hide what you're doing?

448
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,000
Because if you're trying to hide it, you probably know that it's wrong.

449
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,840
My concern too is, we think about this as the gross people that are kind of at the bottom

450
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,160
of society and whatever.

451
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,160
It's not.

452
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,160
It's not.

453
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,160
It's not.

454
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,160
It's pastors.

455
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,160
It is.

456
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,160
It's your neighbor.

457
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,200
It's your boss.

458
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,200
I don't know.

459
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:58,640
Well, that's why I hate saying to women, be careful, watch yourself, be more cautious

460
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,160
around men.

461
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:08,200
We didn't do an episode on the bear analogy, but if you haven't heard it, it's essentially

462
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,920
asking women, would you rather run into a bear or a man if you were walking alone in

463
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,080
the forest?

464
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,920
And most women, I would say a huge percentage of women said that they would rather run into

465
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:22,920
the bear.

466
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:28,760
And that's been very controversial because men have said, well, not all men are bad.

467
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,120
And that's, no one is saying that all men are bad.

468
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,520
I don't think anybody is saying that.

469
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,520
Maybe like two people.

470
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,720
But like, I don't think that's the prevalent message here.

471
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:47,320
The message is that we have to be careful of every single man.

472
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:53,640
Because even if it's one in a hundred, one in a thousand, if I'm not careful, I'm likely

473
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,120
to be the next victim.

474
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,220
And I'm not willing for that to happen.

475
00:24:58,220 --> 00:25:04,120
So I have to be careful of all 100 men instead of just the one.

476
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:10,880
Because we've been conditioned to be that way too, because most women have run into

477
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,640
situations in their life where they've run into men and been treated inappropriately.

478
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,480
Whether that be like physically or verbally.

479
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,320
I think that's probably universal.

480
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,440
Like I don't think there's many women out there.

481
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Well think back to like the Me Too movement.

482
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,360
People kind of, especially like the Christian circles kind of-

483
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:30,360
They villainized it.

484
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:35,360
They villainized it because they were like, well, I don't know what they were saying.

485
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:40,200
That should show you how big of a problem this is.

486
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Right.

487
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,120
Well there's that song, is it Dua Lipa?

488
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:46,040
Boys Will Be Boys?

489
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:53,760
So one of the lines in that is, sick intuition that they taught us so we won't freak out.

490
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,720
And that is so- I listened to it today.

491
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:03,520
That is so impactful because you think back as a little girl.

492
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:10,240
We were taught if there's a man in the aisle at the grocery store, don't go in that aisle.

493
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,860
If you're walking in the parking lot, have your keys between your fingers.

494
00:26:14,860 --> 00:26:18,840
If you're walking back from class, have your pepper spray out.

495
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,800
When you walk in your house after you get home from work, don't turn all the lights

496
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,360
on right away because you don't want people to know when you get home.

497
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:30,960
And I don't think either of us are saying that this can't impact men also.

498
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,240
It's just from our perspective, what women were taught.

499
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:42,200
And unfortunately, our mothers and our grandmothers had to teach this to us.

500
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,800
There's no fault there in them teaching it to us.

501
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,960
They had to, but why did they have to?

502
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:54,400
Because we haven't taught our boys to respect women from the jump.

503
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,720
Is that a bad way to say that?

504
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,720
From the beginning.

505
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,000
Exactly, that's exactly it.

506
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,100
And you can see that move through society.

507
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:09,280
And so it needs to be addressed.

508
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,880
It needs to be called out.

509
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,480
People need to say to men, we expect more of you.

510
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,640
So I guess maybe that's the purpose of this podcast, not to scare women, not to say like

511
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,240
you need to have an exit plan, whatever, but to tell men, I don't know how many men are

512
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,320
listening to our feminism podcast.

513
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Hello, men.

514
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,320
Nathan's listening.

515
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,320
Hello, man.

516
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Hey, maybe your boyfriend Curtis is listening.

517
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,320
Curtis, are you still in want of a wife?

518
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:47,400
Anyway, but for the men out there, if you hear this, if someone sends it to you, do

519
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,240
better.

520
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,240
Not just for you.

521
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,240
Maybe you're doing great.

522
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,240
I don't know.

523
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,840
Yeah, I'm assuming you are.

524
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,080
Do amazing things.

525
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,240
Tell your sons to do better.

526
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,760
Tell your friends to do better.

527
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,800
Check in on them and make sure they're not behaving this way.

528
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,560
Because it's like, remember the song from Warrior Kids, This Little Light of Mine?

529
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,480
I'm gonna let it shine.

530
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Who's gonna sing now, Alyssa?

531
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,840
I'm not gonna sing.

532
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,840
You're gonna sing.

533
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,840
I just did.

534
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,840
You did.

535
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:24,200
But it's like if you have, if you as a man, because you have more influence in the circles

536
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:31,260
with the other men, if you decide that you're going to be a better person, that you're going

537
00:28:31,260 --> 00:28:35,480
to be above this kind of behavior, that you're gonna fight for the rights of women, let that

538
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:40,240
light shine, and then maybe it affects just one other person.

539
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,600
And then they take that and it affects two other people.

540
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,640
It's like, what is that movie where the kid did one good act and then-

541
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,640
I know what you're talking about.

542
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,600
But all I can say is the giving tree.

543
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,600
Nope, that's not it.

544
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,480
It has fully escaped my brain.

545
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,160
But yeah.

546
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,160
The Perfect Gift?

547
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,160
No.

548
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,160
That's not it.

549
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,160
Anyway.

550
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,760
Eat, Pray, Love?

551
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,720
That is definitely not it.

552
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,720
So let your light shine.

553
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,720
That's the message.

554
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,480
I got all I need when I got you and I.

555
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,480
Flashlight.

556
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,560
Alright guys, we're gonna wind this down because I am going to die of a heat stroke at any

557
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,560
moment.

558
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,560
I've already gone.

559
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,520
Bree's talking from the grave.

560
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,520
The Beyond.

561
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,520
Ah.

562
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,360
We listened to the Haunted Mansion theme song today.

563
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,360
You have a problem.

564
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,360
I can't wait to go.

565
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,360
I know.

566
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,360
Very excited.

567
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,360
Sarah mentioned it to me today.

568
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,360
She goes, Bree!

569
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,360
It's coming up so soon!

570
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Are you excited?

571
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,360
And I was like-

572
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,360
It's like, are you more excited than me?

573
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,360
Maybe.

574
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,360
Alright.

575
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,160
We'll see you guys next time- actually, we'll see you guys in about five minutes when we

576
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,040
record the next episode.

577
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,240
If you notice some consistency in like, oh, they sound like they're gonna die.

578
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,120
We recorded these two episodes at the same time.

579
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,120
Don't worry.

580
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,120
Back to back.

581
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,120
Alright.

582
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,120
We'll see you guys soon.

583
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,120
Bye!
