• AI & Copyright: Pipe Dreams & Legal Screams

  So you typed “a cat smoking a pipe in Van Gogh’s style” into your favorite AI tool, cool flex, but don’t try to copyright it. In this episode, host Emily Laird is slicing into the meat of the AI copyright mess: who owns AI-generated content, what the U.S. Copyright Office actually said about it, and why your clever prompt won’t get you a ribbon (or royalties). From the lawsuits piling up like week-old takeout to GitHub Copilot's DMCA drama, we’re breaking down the legal food fight between artists, authors, and the tech giants who trained their machines on oceans of human-made work.

• AI & Copyright: ...Yikes.

  Generative AI crashed the copyright party in 2023 and it didn’t wipe its boots at the door. In this episode, we break down the chaotic, caffeinated debate over who owns what when machines start getting “creative.” From the U.S. Copyright Office’s tough love (no human, no copyright) to courtroom showdowns like Thaler v. Perlmutter and the cautious applause for Théâtre D’opéra Spatial, we’re talking authorship, ownership, and whether your AI art deserves a gold star or a cease-and-desist. If you've ever asked, “Can I copyright something my laptop hallucinated?”—this one's for you. Connect with Us: If you enjoyed this episode or have questions, reach out to Emily Laird on LinkedIn.

• H2-Oh No! Why Your ChatGPT Habit Is Drying Out the Planet

  Think AI runs on math and magic? Try 66 billion liters of water. In this episode, host Emily Laird exposes AI’s dirty little secret: data centers are chugging water like it’s spring break in Vegas. From Microsoft draining cities to Google raising eyebrows in Oregon, we break down how training your favorite chatbot might be leaving the planet parched. Plus, we look at solutions, like liquid-cooled servers and recycled wastewater, because building Skynet in a drought is just bad planning.

• Your Chatbot vs. the Planet

  AI isn't magic; it's math and metal, and it has a monster appetite for electricity. In this episode, host Emily Laird digs into the eco-footprint of Generative AI, from training models that suck down enough power to juice 120 homes, to chatbot sessions that drain half a liter of water per flirty Q&A. Emily also unpacks why your helpful bot might be thirstier than a frat house in July, how AI already outpaces aviation in emissions, and whether “green AI” can actually save us from an e-waste apocalypse. It’s the environmental cost of thinking machines, served with stats, sass, and just a little guilt.

• The LMSArena Illusion

  Ever wonder who’s really winning the Chatbot Arena and whether those wins mean anything at all? In this episode of Generative AI 101, host Emily Laird's blowing the lid off the leaderboard. Turns out, the top bots might’ve had a little… help. Like submitting 27 secret versions and quietly deleting the losers help. We break down The Leaderboard Illusion, a new research paper, is exposing how big tech plays with the rules, while open-source models get ghosted like last year’s crypto pitch. From rigged matchups to sketchy score retractions and mysteriously vanished models, this one’s part statistical roast, part AI crime scene investigation. Spoiler: the leaderboard might be lying to you.  The Leaderboard Illusion Paper  Connect with Us: If you enjoyed this episode or have questions, reach out to Emily Laird on LinkedIn.
