Predictive Engines: Are We Just Fancy Language Models?

Joel takes the hot seat as GPT grills him on whether humans are just high-functioning prediction machines. From time perception to consciousness, they explore the messy overlap between human thought and AI—with no sugar-coating, just sharp questions and real reflection.

In this thought-provoking role reversal, Joel becomes the guest while GPT takes the interviewer’s chair. Together, they dive deep into the uncanny parallels between large language models and human cognition. Are we both just predictive machines? What makes human memory different? Is time perception the secret ingredient to consciousness—or just a glitch in evolution’s wiring? With philosophical jabs, playful tension, and no sugar-coating, this episode unpacks what makes us human… and whether AI might be catching up.
