E30. The A.I. Rollercoaster Ride: ChatGPT 1-Year Anniversary, OpenAI Chaos & the Magic of GenAI with Culture & Code Host John du Pre Gauntt

A.I. is a WILD rollercoaster ride!  This is the THIRTIETH Creativity Squared episode that coincides with and celebrates the one-year anniversary of OpenAI’s announcement of ChatGPT. Today’s guest is John du Pre Gauntt, the founder of Culture & Code, a B2B podcast and newsletter focused on Generative Artificial Intelligence for Creative Professionals.  We recorded this conversation on the afternoon of Friday, November 17, discussing the explosive growth of OpenAI and GenAI this past year. Needless to say, we had no idea how much we needed to buckle up for the news that shook the tech world, unlike anything we’ve seen since Apple’s board fired Steve Jobs, which broke just a few hours after we wrapped the interview. Listen for a short synopsis of what happened and the mayhem that ensued! John’s analysis of the impact of emerging technology on media and marketing has been featured in The Economist, GigaOm, and eMarketer while his speaking credits include South by Southwest, Infinity Festival Hollywood, Podcast Movement, and the Monaco Media Forum. His consulting clients include financial services, media, and technology. John holds degrees in Computer Information Systems and English Literature. In 2019, he earned an executive certificate in technology leadership from MIT Sloan School in partnership with the MIT Computer Science & AI Laboratory (CSAIL). In today’s show, you’ll hear the original conversation I had with John. The episode serves as a time capsule marking where we are on the one-year anniversary of ChatGPT — enjoy!
