Alban and Kevin are diving into the hilarious story of Google’s NotebookLM and its AI podcast hosts who got a little annoyed when interrupted. Due to snarky comebacks like “I was getting to that” and "as I was saying", Google had to teach its AI to be a bit more polite to humans.

Then, the guys discuss why you should be respectful of all things, living or not, and debate the hard-hitting questions, like, "do trees have souls?".

Editor's note: If Jordan was able to record this episode, she would have pointed out that in Shinto, there is a belief that kami (spiritual essence or energy) is in both living beings and inanimate objects or nature. So you should have reverence and gratitude for all things, whether they are considered alive or not.

From a Shinto perspective, AI could be seen as something that has been given human intent, creativity, and effort, and therefore has energy. Even if AI lacks a soul in the conventional sense, you should give care and respect to it because of its role in the universe.
