video transcript
Sheena Smith: Well, AI is everywhere. And it will also make an appearance this weekend on a very special day, Mother’s Day. It’s Sunday if you forget. So you still have time to get the women in your life to do something nice. Well, online flower delivery service 1-800-FLOWERS.com has launched a chat bot called MomVerse. According to the site, the bot can create original content such as poems and songs. Diane King Hall of Yahoo Finance researched this matter. And everyone seems to be starting to get interested in AI.
Diane King Hall: know. I was like, come on. But I got engaged. So enter a little information.
Sheena Smith: OK.
Diane King Hall: And this is what it spat out at me. It had the headline “Mama—”—”A treasure trove of trinkets, jewelry with stories to tell, Mama’s writings flowed like rivers of magic words, and her heart was like a ruby. and her love shines infinitely.” Oh, there is my son. It’s Ethan. ah! And her love is infinite brilliance. Sweet dreams to the best mom ever, the angel of our life. I tried to include her mother. Wouldn’t it be nice if Ethan told me so?
Sheena Smith: That sounds pretty good. And there are my two children–
Diane King Hall: Oh Stowe and Gray.
Sheena Smith: —Stowe and Gray.
Diane King Hall: I love it.
Sheena Smith: You know, I love this idea. I can see why they would do that too. It makes a lot of sense. But, Akiko-san, when your daughter grows up she will be able to write cards, but my sons can’t either. oh look at her girlfriend she is very cute Would she like to get something personalized from her?
Akiko Fujita: yes.
Diane King Hall: [INAUDIBLE]
Akiko Fujita: 100%, Sheena. I thought so. I mean, we don’t ask a lot on Mother’s Day. It’s just personal. Don’t use AI. Do not use technology on this day. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just from the heart.
Diane King Hall: that’s fair. It’s fair, it’s true. But when they are as young as your children, and even my son knows how to write now, teachers help them do something. But let me tell you, the other day he came home with something to fill out, obviously. he is a lover But he didn’t fill it out with “my mom is”.
Sheena Smith: he has time He has a few days to spare.Akiko, this is your first Mother’s Day. [? Myari. ?] what are you all doing Do you have any fun plans?
Akiko Fujita: Yes, we’re going out to brunch. You have to congratulate your mother too, right? But, as you know, I have to say that I am approaching this Mother’s Day in a completely different way. Because you really have a new appreciation for mothers. So I’ve only been here four months. I don’t know how my mother handled her three children, but let’s assume she does.
Diane King Hall: I love every baby photo we have. Oh, it’s the executive producer’s baby.
Akiko Fujita: Oh that’s precious.
Diane King Hall: oh i love it I love it.
[? SEANA SMITH: ?] she’s right next door [? Myari’s ?] Age too.they [INAUDIBLE].
Diane King Hall: Oh, there’s Miles. Oh Miles.
Sheena Smith: miles too. Well, that’s all for Yahoo Finance today. I wish all mothers out there a very, very happy Mother’s Day. And Diane and Akiko, Happy Mother’s Day to all of you.
