Do we still need programmers in the age of AI? In this episode, I sit down with Grigorij Dudnik, creator of Clean Coder AI ?an agent-based AI framework that aims to transform how we build software.

We dive deep into the future of programming, where AI agents take over the repetitive tasks and senior developers act more like managers than coders. Grigorij breaks down how his open-source tool works, how it's already being used in real-world web applications, and why separating AI agent roles (planner, coder, manager) actually boosts performance?just like in human teams.

The Hidden Science Behind Chatbots That Actually Work

Ever asked a chatbot a simple question and ended up more confused than before? You?re not alone. Most chatbots fail miserably at their one job: giving you the right answer without making you work for it. But why?

In this episode of A Beginner?s Guide to AI, we break down the secret to effective chatbots using Information Foraging Theory?a concept that explains how humans (and animals!) search for information. We explore why some chatbots feel like magic while others make you want to throw your laptop out the window.

Is the internet still alive, or has it been quietly taken over by bots, AI-generated content, and algorithm-driven engagement?

In this episode of A Beginner?s Guide to AI, we explore the eerie and controversial Dead Internet Theory?the idea that much of what we see online isn?t created by humans anymore but by automated systems designed to manipulate, entertain, and sell.

Are the people you interact with online actually real? How much of the news you read, the trends you follow, and the debates you see are fueled by artificial intelligence? And if AI has taken over, how can we spot the difference between authentic human content and algorithmic noise?

Get ready for a deep dive into one of the strangest AI-related theories out there. We?ll break it down, separate paranoia from reality, and?of course?use cake to explain it all. Because when it comes to the internet, you need to know whether you?re getting the real deal or just another slice of mass-produced, artificially optimized content.

Can artificial intelligence ever be truly intelligent without a body?

In this episode of A Beginner?s Guide to AI, we explore one of the most fascinating debates in AI research?whether intelligence requires physical experience or if it can exist purely in digital form.

We break down why human intelligence is deeply tied to our bodies, how AI models like ChatGPT process information without sensory experience, and what cutting-edge robotics is doing to bridge the gap.

With real-world examples, including Boston Dynamics? Atlas, and a cake-baking analogy you won?t forget, this episode unpacks the limits and possibilities of AI as a ?mind without a body.?

AI thrives on data?but what happens when it starts averaging everything out?

In this episode of A Beginner?s Guide to AI, we explore why AI?s obsession with statistical averages can be a serious problem.

From healthcare to hiring algorithms, we break down how flattening data can erase crucial insights, reinforce biases, and lead to one-size-fits-all solutions that don?t actually fit anyone.

We?ll unpack real-world examples, including how AI in medicine has overlooked critical symptoms for underrepresented groups like people not living in cities, and why recommendation engines often fail to capture what makes you unique.

Plus, we?ll explain why an AI-designed cake?made entirely from ?average? preferences?might be the worst dessert ever created.

Professors fear it, students use it, and universities struggle to keep up ? AI is reshaping higher education. In this episode, I sit down with Evan Sveum, professor from Wisconsin-Eau Claire, who fully integrates AI into his teaching.

He introduces us to Isabelle, his AI-powered teaching assistant, which has already handled over 1,000 student interactions.

We dive into how AI enhances learning outcomes, whether it truly saves time for educators, and why banning AI in classrooms might be the worst possible move.

Should AI be a tool or a threat in education? How do students actually use it?are they just copying answers, or is something deeper happening? And will AI replace teachers entirely? We tackle these tough questions and explore what the future of learning really looks like.

Alan Turing wasn?t just a brilliant mathematician?he was the architect of modern computing. His concept of the Turing Machine laid the groundwork for every computer we use today, and his legendary Turing Test still challenges us to define intelligence itself. But despite helping to win World War II by cracking the Enigma Code, Turing was persecuted by the very country he saved.

In this episode, we explore Turing?s groundbreaking ideas, his influence on artificial intelligence, and the injustice that cut his life short. From secret wartime projects to the modern AI revolution, his legacy is everywhere?but do we truly understand the depth of his impact?

Free speech is back in AI?at least more than before. OpenAI just updated its guidelines to allow broader discussions, including controversial topics from across the political spectrum.

But what does that mean for disinformation, bias, and ethics? In this deep-dive episode, I explore the fine line between free speech and responsible AI, the risks of unfiltered language models, and the real-world consequences of biased outputs?especially in hiring decisions.

We also discuss the dangers of AI without guardrails, the German perspective on free speech, and whether we should trust AI systems to make ethical decisions.

Should we embrace total openness, or do we need stricter controls? And how does AI literacy fit into all of this? Tune in to hear my thoughts on one of the most complex AI dilemmas of our time.

What if magic wasn?t supernatural at all, but just really advanced AI?

In this episode ofA Beginner?s Guide to AI, we explore the striking parallels between wizardry and artificial intelligence.

Spells follow strict syntax, require precise inputs, and produce predictable results?just like algorithms.

SayWingardium Leviosa the wrong way, and nothing happens. Code it wrong, and AI refuses to work. So, are spells just another form of programming?

We also dive into one of AI?s biggest challenges: forgetting. Wizards haveObliviate to erase memories instantly, but AI isn?t so lucky.

Researchers have been experimenting with ways to make AIunlearn specific knowledge, even testing it by removing the Harry Potter books from a model?s training data.

But does AI truly forget, or does it just learn to avoid certain topics? And if AI is our modern-day spellbook, what does that mean for the future?

Be there as we break down the magic behind machine learning and ask the ultimate question: is AI just a Muggle?s way of casting spells?

SORRY, UPLOADED THE WRONG AUDIO FILE, NOT THE NATIVISM ONE - BUT NOW IT'S THE RIGHT ONE!!!

Is intelligence something we?re born with, or do we learn everything from scratch? That?s not just a question for philosophers?it?s at the core of artificial intelligence today.

In this episode ofA Beginner?s Guide to AI, we explore the great debate betweennativism and deep learning.

Nativism suggests that some knowledge is built-in, like the way babies instinctively pick up language. Deep learning, on the other hand, argues that intelligence comes purely from experience?AI models don?t start with any understanding; they learn everything from massive amounts of data.

We break down how this plays out in real AI systems, fromAlphaZero teaching itself to play chess toGPT-4 mimicking human language without actually understanding it. And, of course, we usecake to make it all crystal clear.
