Ep 3: Adult Learning Center

Okay, everybody, welcome to Tuesday nights, 7 to 10 p .m. adult learning course in AI recognition.

Oh my God. Oh my God, the moon just exploded. Harry, the moon's gone. Harry,

calm down. The rivers are going to start to mess up.

Okay, are you seeing this in a video? Yes, look, I'm looking at

it too. This is bad.

Should we evacuate? Call your

brother. Okay. Call your brother.

Call him?

Yeah, call your brother. No, we don't need anyone. This is great.

According to my feed, he's on the moon. He's on the moon without a space suit.

I think your brother may have sent you an AI video, actually.

you kidding me? And so that's what we're doing here today. What? So I'm glad this happened. This is a class for - Oh my God. Oh my God, my mom just fell off a cliff. My friend Sora just sent me a video.

Are

Have you met someone in person named Sora

that you

normally text with? We all know Sora. Oh,

I was

thinking Sarah. Okay.

Oh. Okay. Never mind. So let me see this video really quick. This is - Oh, I think it's my mom.

It's an old lady falling off the cliff. Here's a way you can tell this one is fake. She's being pushed off the cliff by the Hulk,

who is not a real person.

Oh, he's dead. It's a Marvel character. He's a dead guy.

He's dead. Oh, I thought you meant

Hogan.

No. No, no. This is a big green monster. Hulk Hogan is

a big white monster. Well, have you ever seen Hulk Hogan before? Wait, does Hulk Hogan become Hulk Hogan when he gets angry? Is he just like

a smaller guy with a really shiny head, smooth hair? That's not what this class is about, but no, that's not it.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, no.

What is

it? Is it the moon? Oh, God, no. I just got beheaded by a man. You did? Yes.

Oh, my God. Because I'm seeing

you right

here.

No. Okay,

what you

just -

I'm sitting next to him, but he still has a head. Is this AI?

No, we're not living AI. We are human beings.

Some people say we are. That's going to be hard to touch on, actually, in this first class. I just went for everyone here, just so we know we're in the right place. This is the Hamilton Adult Learning Center, and we do different outreach and learning. And this class is identifying AI, videos, audio, and art. Okay? Yes. Because obviously, as we've just seen immediately, we're dealing with a few people who have big issues with that. So I'm glad you all came today. My wife signed me up for this class because I can't focus at the dinner table.

Okay.

We're all having

trouble getting through any meal. My story's very similar. It's my kids, actually. My kids had the same complaint about me. Yeah, we're

starving.

Videos are fascinating. Is

anybody having this problem? Starving slapped to death. Videos are fascinating. So fascinating that you can't even eat. I went to a hometown buffet the other night. Didn't even grab a morsel.

Really?

Yeah. That's hard for me. That's hard for me. Paid full price. And it was peak. Peak buffet. Do you know they're selling peak tickets now at the buffet and off peak?

We're peak. So peak

hours, I would imagine. I got my tickets on Ticketmaster. Oh, good. The fees are

insane. Yes, the fees are crazy. But we're getting peak buffet tickets and we're not eating a bite. You can't even get a single piece of lunch because the videos are so good.

They're real. He hasn't eaten

a morsel. None of us have eaten a morsel.

The videos are real, too. They're real.

I think you may have been tricked by an AI video about hometown buffet having different prices at different hours of

the day.

that's non -peak. Are we on the news? Is this AI? It's reverse.

They're calling

this

the news. It's a new concept. They're calling

isn't

bird. No, he just said one sentence a little bit that way.

I thought we were on the news. The whole

room didn't change at all. Nothing changed about the way it looks. Wouldn't that be a good

story? I'm glad I'm in this class. Thank you, teacher. It would be a good one. It's a

new

thing. They're calling early bird. This seems like I would watch this

instead of eating dinner.

Yeah. But you don't get the worm and you do get the sandwich.

Okay. Thank you. Let's get into the class. How about

it? Good.

Good.

My wife will love that.

Here's a little bit of a – I feel like I've gotten to know you already. But here's a – I want to do a getting to know you just so we kind of have an idea if we haven't met each other before. So my name is Carl Burns and I work in IT. I currently do IT at Hamilton High School.

Okay. And – Any relation? IT. Is that that scary clown movie? You

work in that? No. Oh, my God. You do. You cannot work with that clown. He – do you know I saw him – a video of him getting his license at the DMV?

Okay. The IT. I saw him playing basketball.

The IT.

Now, I agree that I

Yeah.

with him.

Did

I ask what was happening?

Can I ask what was happening in it? He was having

sex? Yeah. Of course. Yeah.

They're calling him the clown that lives in the sewers.

No, they call him Pennywise. That's his name. It's a movie called – it's a fiction by Stephen King.

I'm so glad I'm in this class. Good.

Good.

And real quick, any relation?

To – oh.

Your last name?

Burns. I'm trying to think. Like, Ken Burns?

Yes. Yes. Or Mr. Or Mr. Burns. No,

I'm not really Mr. Burns because he's

a – Because you know he's a

real guy who can be at the DMV, too. That's who beheaded me in this video.

Are you

sure that you know

what's real? I do. I do. Yes.

Okay, good. So we have made – because this happens a lot – if you all wouldn't mind taking home just this little note card. Okay. It's printed out. And this is to give to your family just to let them know that the Adult Learning Society isn't a place to dump off your confused

ads all the time. Mine's only laminated sort of good.

Yes, I did a quick laminate. Well, because it's kind of doing that thing where it's flipping, like flaking off.

I know I'm just going to peel it. Oh, my God. I just got a

text. I think it's AI. Okay.

It's

fake.

Fake.

Not again. I'm not falling for this again, daughter. You want to see it? Look.

Okay. Yeah, he could clear it up. Do you know the first three numbers of your daughter's phone number? Yes. Okay, what are they? 9 -1 -2. Okay, that's from a 9 -1 -2 number. So

I think this is actually real. No, they're doing that now. I'm sure they are. But I don't know – usually you want to ask who is benefiting when you see something like this. Oh, right. If it's maybe an AI or spam text. Because it

doesn't seem like she's asking for money

here. Right. It doesn't seem like she's trying to scam you. It seems like maybe you were supposed to be at an important family event tonight. Is that possible? That is possible.

Is anyone in your family graduating from anything

tonight? Yes, my grandson.

And

grandson audition. And it's April. What's he graduating from? What's he graduating from 7 to 10 in April?

I don't know. I mean, I guess modeling school? Is that what he's doing? What?

Modeling school? Yeah. That's a very fun graduation. They catwalk down to get their diploma.

Yeah.

They're fierce. So it sounds like that's a real text. So if a text is just something you don't emotionally want to deal with,

that

Usually what people are using AI for on one extreme

is just – My wife is AI. Sometimes.

How do

you mean? She's just saying things that seems like someone made it up. It's like my worst nightmare.

You know what I mean? It's like – you know how it's – either they're making up their fantasy or their worst nightmare. Sometimes it feels like someone's making up my AI worst nightmare. I see. I see. Would you mind sharing? We

read a text from her. It's based on his algorithm. The phone learns what he's not good at or what he's flaking on. Yeah. I

can

calling into question

all of those things. So the six toilets in my house are broken. And I've been promising to go to Home Depot to fix it. And I keep getting these AI texts about what a loser I am that

we don't have any fixed toilets. Because you went from two to six. Didn't go up on the bedrooms. You went from

two to three to a six

a

over, they don't need to sleep. They need to go.

They need to

go. Thank you for meeting me

where I am when I said go. I don't think you're an idiot. I

appreciate that. You should get them to work. I agree. You went from two to six. I agree. But I just don't get the algorithm. Right. It's crazy.

Well, it sounds, again, like that's a very direct personal issue. AI has not gotten to that point where it knows that much about you. Like that you upgraded or you graded your house a different direction to have

far more. I would say it's a side grade. Yeah. It's a side grade for

sure. It's a side grade. If they worked, it might be a side grade.

maybe. But what I wanted to do, because it sounds like that you're having very personal issues. I had kind of prepared this around a few videos I wanted to show you all.

Yeah,

But it sounds like you're dealing with some personal issues as well. But maybe this will be a way into the scribe. I just had an AI thought. Uh -oh.

Oh, my

gosh.

In your head? I just had an AI thought where I thought maybe I'd be happier if I had been beheaded. Oh, no. Wow. That's a tough AI thought. That's an intrusive. Well, let me ask you this. Have you

had - Who's behind that? Yeah. Palantir? Yeah.

I'm impressed you know what that is. I'm actually very impressed you know what that is.

Thank you. But I guess I do understand the crossover. Their stock ticker's crazy.

That's why.

I'm trying to get my hair to look like the CEOs. I love the CEO of Palantir. Which one? Because there's two

Palantir ones. I don't know. I saw one. He could have been AI.

I don't know what's true. Is the Palantir CEO AI or does he just use AI?

He looks

a little like you. Hawaiian shirt, sandals. He's at work. No, I think he uses AI. That's a really scary company though, if I'm being

honest. What they want to do is sell facial recognition technology and they're already doing it to different governments around the world.

Wow. So that if you're, I don't think this will ever be an issue for you guys, but if you're ever on the street protesting something, they could know who you are. Well, I've told that when I smile, you can't recognize my face as my original face. Because my smile is so big and so Grinch.

Whoa, do it again.

I have just. Wow. Wow.

That is really Grinch. Very Grinch. That's really Grinch. Wait, wait. Who was?

Oh, there he is. I'm back. Wow. So when I'm doing anything weird, I do this.

Well, I

understand

why you may be embarrassed to go to your grandson's graduation. You may smile so big that people think you've turned into the Grinch. This is what we need more of. It's so authentic. It's so real. I can tell you. This feels real.

I can tell how real you are because a computer couldn't do that. A computer couldn't do that if you wanted it to. No. What I wanted to do, again, is show you guys. And that was not. Have you worked at all with a little more

Popeye? Oh, Popeye. I'm trying to Grinch hard. Grinch as hard as you can and be Popeye. Good. Good. Okay. Now, what I'm wanting to do is show a video to you guys. Sorry. I was going to try to take over. You've been trying to show this video, and I wanted to get to it. I'm sorry.

Well, no. Hit play. I can understand for two gentlemen who look so much like cartoon characters when you try to

smile or try to smile. Well, no. You wouldn't understand. He looks trying to smile like the Grinch. He's trying to

Grinch. He

looks like him. I'm trying to look like him. But he accidentally looks like Popeye. And you smile real big like the Grinch? Oh, De Niro. De Niro.

Wow. That's really good. So you're trying to do Popeye? I'm trying to do Popeye. I'm trying to Popeye so hard I Grinch, but I go De Niro.

Now, that's a movie I'd watch, and I don't mean AI. No. Popeye Grinch De Niro.

Okay. Well, I think that is closer to what they call AI slop than to a real movie that will be made ever.

You're a typewriter.

Who knows? So let me show you this video that I prepared. It's a real video that you can find on

TikTok. Okay. It's a trick. Okay.

It's a

trick. It's a

blizzard.

It wouldn't have dumped. It's fake. Okay. So you think because - Blizzards are too thick to dump. Wow. Well, the issue in the video is the woman's mad it's not thick enough. So that's why they're dumping it.

She's kind of got a point, but

it's funny because they dump it on her.

It shouldn't be able to dump, and then they're like, nah, but then they too dump it on her.

And it makes her a point for her in a way. Yeah. I guess I'm kind of thinking it's AI. Well, one thing you could do is, here's where I'm going to get to the clues, is look at the hands. How many fingers are you noticing on the woman?

Hmm.

Oh, one, two. One big finger.

Yeah. Well, two, because one on both hands? Yes. Yes. That's tough. No, well, it's not. She

doesn't have it. That's so hard. That's really

tough.

Why is

she getting yelled at?

Well, because it's not real.

There are - It would be really hard to grab like a frosty cup with just two big fingers.

That's true. But this is a way to tell it's AI. That's not actually a woman with two big fingers. Oh,

okay. Those are phone fingers. You can tell they look very animated around the fingers, too. They don't look real. So that's one thing you can look at. Are those ostrich legs?

They are.

Yes. Okay. So that's another way you can tell is the AI. Something in the prompt confused the AI, and it gave the

drive -thru person an ostrich leg. So really, if you just do a

little

So I'm seeing

what you're saying. It's still so hard for me.

I can't. Because she's got the two big fingers.

Could you replay it? Because I want to see the part where she lays an egg. That, to me, is feeling real. Agreed. Can we play it one more time?

Here you go. Because I see everything you're talking about. And plop, out comes the egg. Huh. Okay. So the egg looks real.

The egg looks real. It breaks on the ground. Hands look real.

Has this ever happened in front of you in the whole world ever?

Not this exact thing.

fast

Not today. Yeah. Not

Not today. Yeah. Okay. Well, this is very unlikely to happen. So that's one

food. My wife all night.

Okay. Good. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

We were pretending. We knew that one was fake as heck.

We wanted you to feel like this course was worth it. So we've been pretending.

No, that was a good

Yeah.

So those are the fingers. I'm sorry. We'll try to read through these. Yeah. It's your fault

that we didn't. Not on that. So next video here. This is, as you can tell, it looks like it's on some sort of civil unrest. There's a bunch of

cops and SWAT gear here. And now you see a kind of a hippie -ish looking man come up and he puts a little flower inside one of the cops'

guns. And now I'm going to pause. What do we think so far from what we've seen? Famous video.

Famous video. Yeah. This is as famous as the Tiananmen Square video. Yeah. Famous. Famous and

real.

Okay.

Great. Famous and real. Now the cop, they're embracing. Uh -huh. And now the cop is dipping the hippie. Dipping the hippie. And they are kissing. Kiss. Famous. Because this hippie just came back from war. This is his husband. Right. He's doing the kiss. It's that famous video

of the sailor. Or the cop kissing his partner. Oh, the Times Square. Yeah, in Times Square. I hope this one's real. I hope this one's

real. This feels real and true and important.

Oh, hang on. Look at the feet. Look at the feet. Yeah. Can you notice they're a little webbed?

Yeah. He's got duck feet. Uh, the cop? Or the hippie? Uh.

You don't have to put your face closer to it. It's not going to help

there.

Well, I

really want to figure it out. Okay. So, yeah, the feet is a good indicator. And the fact of what's happening here, maybe the first thing is based on a real thing you've seen.

So, that's how, again, how you can tell. And notice the camera here. Oh, she's flipping them around. It's totally stationary. Mm

-hmm. Uh, the camera's not moving at all. Usually in real life, if someone's filming on their phone, there would be a little movement

there. Oh, my God. So, that's... Full

frontal. Uh.

Hippie doing full frontal. Wow. Oh. Okay. So, the penis is the cop's face. Whoa.

Yeah.

Well, so, can you tell that that's fake? God. No,

I... Yes,

yes.

I really wanted it to be real, but it's obviously fake. Thank you for helping me. You're welcome. Now, let's go back to some of the videos that have scared you today. It

you're getting a lot really fast. Yeah. So,

like

to... Okay, I'll throw this one. It was the moon exploding. Yeah. Okay. And

there's your brother on it. Because I thought that I felt that. I thought

that I could feel like a

shockwave. A shockwave, yeah.

A lot of less gravity, which is what would happen if the moon exploded.

Yes. A lot of less. Great. So, is there any reason to believe that the moon might be exploding soon?

Well...

Look,

every day I wake up,

I'm thinking, what's next?

Right.

It does

Maybe not. You know there's over a billion cameras on Earth?

I would believe that. There's billions of people.

Yeah. Almost everyone has a phone, and phones have cameras on them. Oh, take my text off. That's from my daughter. Take those off. Shoo those

away. Well, hang on. It's a video of your grandson voguing down the graduation platform.

Oh, no. No. Oh, no. The heels thing is happening. Oh, my God. My grandson's one finger. It's flipping me off.

No. Okay, wait, wait. No. This might be good. No. If he's

one finger, that might mean he's fake. So, this looks like it might be AI. It looks like your daughter.

No, that's all true. No, this is good. This is just

an insulting video from your daughter. It's just an

insulting video from your daughter. Oh. He's not really a finger. Okay, so she's made an AI video.

Well, you said

that's all true. Does your grandson

have one

finger?

Yes. Yes. He's a finger model.

He's not a hand model.

He's a finger model. I don't know what the fuck is real. Well, me neither. That one is

confusing for

me. I don't know how to handle that one. Yeah, I don't know how to handle that one. That's a little big for me. Honestly, for you, this sounds more therapy. You got to talk to your daughter about it.

And maybe there was another night you could have come to this class. We have her three nights a week. Is there a reason you had to come tonight? Well, I didn't want to go to this. Right. I didn't want to go to

that.

Exactly. I have a video that I took on my phone, but I'm not sure if it's real.

Okay. Well, if you took it, I think it's got to be real, but I

guess we'll take a look. You know how I was saying? I was hoping that AI video was real. Yeah. I'm hoping this one's not real. Okay, so this

is a video. I'll throw it up here again. Just push the little button down there.

Which one? Okay. You can do it. Would you rather just show it to us on the phone? Does it have to be on the big screen? I was filming this in my house. This is 30 rats coming out of

the toilet hole.

And God, I hope this is fake. I hope this is my wife trying to convince me that the toilet hole's broken or something. Because we don't live in New York. So where are all these rats

coming from? So toilet, no water in

Yeah.

it.

Is that real? You notice the camera's moving. But look at the rats. If you pause it there, they all look pretty realistic.

I'm talking. I shot the video. You're talking in the video. Let me ask you, is the toilet, where are the pipes leading to when you built the toilet? Sounds like

my wife.

The pipes lead to the ground.

They lead to the hole. And into a sewage system or just under your house?

Yeah, into a sewage system.

We have a septic tank

in the yard, and then it's also connected to the sewage system. I just don't trust the sewage system.

We did want to. I helped him with this. We wanted to run it into a tank first because we don't trust

the pipe. I like to keep it a little

bit. We like to have both.

So you have a type of tank? It's a buffer.

You can't just have pipe. For sure. You have to also have tank.

If that works for you guys. Well, that way, if the municipal system fails, the tank's already full. Yeah. If the tank is a nice,

well -sealed tank. We bought it full.

This is my brother. Yeah.

We got a good deal on a septic full.

We actually, what it was, was a broke -down truck. So they just popped the tank

a truck full of people's waste, it sounds

off the truck and put it all along. So you bought

Yeah, from my porta -potty company. Sometimes there's like a ring in there, though. We

like.

We had to get a new truck that had an empty tank. Oh, my God. Wait a second. You're Andy Gump. Of course. I thought I recognized you

somewhere. You're damn right he is. You're goddamn right. I thought I recognized you somewhere. Yes. You're damn right. That's A -G.

Well, pleasure to meet you, Andy. I love the work you do.

Thank you so much. I'll just say this. It sounds like you set up a system that was very good for rats to come into your house. You almost set up a rat welcome party.

So that's probably what that AI video is. Yeah. I think you're right. Okay. That was real.

Okay. Great. Great.

Now, this video of me being beheaded. This is good.

This one's really sticking with me. People are jealous of him. Everybody wants to be a Gump. So this could be real. This could be violence.

the TV. I want you to watch it.

I'm going to throw it to

Okay. Throw it.

Just swipe down. Wow.

Well, swipe down. Share screen.

Share home screen. Allow everything.

Allow everything. $17 .99. $17 .99. Pay the fare.

No, no. You don't have to pay a fare. It's Pete sharing time. You don't have to pay a fare. If you're paying a fare, you're being had. Pay the fare. It's Pete. It's Pete.

It's

class.

Pay the

You don't have to do that. Who is taking

I'm right here.

your

Who knows

you're here?

Pay it.

It's not Pete class. There's three of you here. It's a

$7 cash class. Glung. Glung. You are broke. What?

That's

fair. That might be real. What was that? That might be

real. Wells Fargo just sent me an AI. You are broke. Is that real? Let

me see. Look, look, look. I don't use. I don't think Wells Fargo would say you are

broke. It's worse than broke. They're calling it debt. What is

this? What is this? Are we on the news? This whole class is out of order. What? It's out of order. Get it in order here.

No, we're not in court. Ow, ow, ow. Stop hitting yourself on the knee like a doctor, but with the judge's gavel. Your reflexes are great. You're kicking the floor. Your reflexes are too good. Okay, so your left leg reflexes are bad. What is going on with this leg? It has nothing to do with AI. You are physically

in trouble. I've never seen anything like this in real

I'm losing

life.

enough at the dentist anymore, are they? Testing our knees. I'm cutting my

head off. Don't cut your head off.

Here, put it on my desk. Oh, my

God. Fake. Fake. Fake. Fake. Fake. Fake. Fake. Fake. Oh, he's puking. Fake. Come over here. I'm slapping you with my

finger. My wife put you up to this. I know it. You only have one finger? Wait, was it one long AI? Oh, my God. The moon. The moon.
