Robot Consent & Polanski: AI Ethics Debate

Against a backdrop of the rise of artificial intelligence, Amazon plans to replace 500,000 jobs with robots. The e-commerce giant is preparing for a future where 75% of operations will be taken care of by AI and robots. A bleak prospect that doesn’t seem to worry that much Pierre Arditi, morning guest. “But anyway, what do you want me to do?”, annoys the actor. “I told myself that as a man of the left, you felt concerned by all these threatened jobs,” breathes the host. “Yes, finally, man of the left, okay, but I’m not either Louise MichelI’m not going to install barricades in front of Amazon”, says the French actor, while specifying that no job will be spared: “And you too, I’m telling you. Soon in Thomas Sotto’s place, there will be Thomas Robot, who will read dispatches written by AI, and Robolivier Dauvers, who will give his consumer advice.

Waiting in the hall, Jean-Baptiste Guéguan, the official double of Johnny Hallydaydid not miss a beat of the interview with the illustrious French actor. “I was just listening to Pierre Arditi, who is an actor that I adore, I watched him when I was little in ‘Pierre Arditi and Big Twink’. In short, he was talking about robot actors, and in fact, in my academy of vocal doubles, I developed several models of actor’s voices crossed with robots”, he says. Curious, the host asks him to present some imitations. “Try to guess who it is, says the singer. Robot actors are great, becauseThey respect consent and do not grope young robots.” “It looks a bit like Roman Polanski,” says Jade, shyly. “That’s it, that’s it Roboman Polanski!”.

The most loyal RTL listener, Jacky Chiasson, is on the RTL set this morning. And guess what? It is for “to give a rant”… “Tonight on M6, it’s the auditions for the new season of ‘France has incredible talent’. Well, I took part, and they failed me!” “Oh? And what is your incredible talent?” Jade asks. “I have so many incredible talents. For example, I can only squint with one eye. Well, they didn’t like it. I also know how to recite the alphabet backwards while burping. They told me it wasn’t original enough.” The RTL listener explains that he had already tried his luck in another show, again without success: “Happiness is in the meadow, it’s the same, they didn’t select me because I still live with my mother. Supposedly it doesn’t make women dream.”
