| 0:04.0 | Hi, How to Be a Better Human Listeners. |
| 0:09.0 | I am your host Chris Duffy, and if you are a long time listener of this show, |
| 0:12.0 | you have probably heard more than a few people on our show talk about how creating art or even just experiencing art can help put you in touch with your humanity. |
| 0:21.0 | Well, how then does art that is made by artificial intelligence play |
| 0:26.7 | into that? What does it mean for art to be made by a machine? Is that even art? This week we are sharing |
| 0:31.6 | an episode of Ted's newest podcast, the Ted AI show and this |

| 1:14.5 | inspires a lot of questions can be really important. So we hope you enjoy this episode and we will be back with more |
| 1:20.4 | episodes of How to be a better human next week. |

| 1:29.1 | I don't have any fears about the future of AI in art. |
| 1:32.1 | I do have fears about the future of AI in art. I do have fears about the future of AI. I |
