Among the biggest TV premieres of May include the returns of Tina Fey and Jesse Armstrong, as well as a double dose of Conan O'Brien.

Mike Sweeney started writing for Conan O'Brien 30 years ago and has been right there by his side ever since. His work has fueled not only the host's two big late-night shows—with a tumultuous stint on the ‘Tonight Show' in between—but also his recent gig hosting the Oscars and his newest project, the travel show ‘Conan O'Brien Must Go,' which arrives Thursday, May 8 on Max. In this episode, Sweeney discusses this particularly momentous time in O'Brien's career, including how Donald Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center threatened to derail his acceptance of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor (streaming Sunday, May 4 on Netflix). Instead, like with so much of their other work together, Sweeney and O'Brien found a way to marry a hopeful outlook on the world with deeply silly jokes.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, we’re talking about digital twins or digital clones, people using generative AI tools to try and copy other people so that you can ask them questions. As an example, I might take all the blog posts or all the letters from the corner office that Katie’s written and put them into a generative AI tool like ChatGPT to create a clone of her and then say, hey, Katie, GPT, what do you think about my latest idea? We’re not going to go into the technicals of this, of how you do this. Katie, you want to talk about more why or why not you should do this. And I’ll preface this with my absolute favorite clip from Jurassic Park. Katie Robbert – 00:46 Yeah. Christopher S. Penn – 00:47 But your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. Katie Robbert – 00:52 That’s true. Jeff Goldblum, listen to the man. Smart guy. You said a couple of things that I think are interesting. You positioned this with a very specific use case of people are creating digital twins in order to ask them questions. I think that’s a very narrow way of thinking about it because that assumes, oh, I don’t want to pay for Chris Penn’s time. If I create his digital twin, I can get all the consulting I need. I personally don’t think that’s how people are thinking about it. Hey, if I can clone a Chris Penn, I don’t have to pay him for contributed content. I can then say, Chris did this thing, or this is Chris’s voice or whatever it is, or probably more nefarious things. Who knows? Katie Robbert – 01:46 Oh, Chris believes this political thing, or from the words of Chris, this is the way or whatever it is. I think that it’s tough. I can see there’s definitely a need for digital twins. But when you start to get into the, this data was publicly available because this person posts enough information that I can then borrow it to create their digital twin without their consent or knowledge. I don’t see what the problem is. They put it out there. That’s really the conversation we’re having today. Take someone a Conan O’Brien who’s been around for a very long time, has a lot of audio, video, content out there. Katie Robbert – 02:36 We could take all of that information and clone his personality, his tone, his Persona, and say, Conan O’Brien endorses Trust Insights. That’s not actually true, but he put the information out there for us to take. I always lean on the side of it’s okay if there’s a consensual contract and everybody’s aware of what’s happening. That’s one person’s opinion. I know that a lot of people will disagree with me that if it’s out there in the public, then you can go ahead and grab it. What do you think, Chris? Christopher S. Penn – 03:16 I can tell you what I’ve seen. I’ve, for example, on LinkedIn, one colleague posted, oh, I have a virtual advisory council. I prompt ChatGPT to pretend that it’s Andy Crestedina and Christopher Penn and a couple other folks and then I bat my ideas around. In those cases the person is not even grabbing any data, assuming what’s in the latent knowledge of the model itself or its search capabilities to perform this particular task. In other cases, we have seen people do copies of public content, sometimes not public content. I did see one person on LinkedIn say that they had just put Anne Hanley’s writing book into the background knowledge of ChatGPT so that they could ask the book knowledge about their writing. Christopher S. Penn – 04:07 The first question is in this situation, what is the ethical definition here for this? Remembering that we have three broad definitions of ethics: There’s deontology, there is virtue ethics, and there’s consequentialism. Deontology is the rules. And the rules are inherently good. You must obey the rules. If you follow the rules, you are good, you are doing good things. Virtue ethics is the person—the person’s character who’s doing the thing determines whether something’s good or not. Good people do good things. And then consequentialism is the ends justify the means. If I don’t do anything bad with it, then I didn’t do anything bad. I didn’t do anything unethical. Almost everyone in AI leans on the third one, which is if I’m not doing anything bad, then I’m not behaving in an unethical manner. Christopher S. Penn – 04:57 From this very broad, vast, simplified view of ethics, Katie, how do you think about applying ethics to the use case of I want to clone somebody perhaps without their permission? Katie Robbert – 05:21 It is, there’s not going to be a black and white answer to this. If anyone’s looking for that, this is the wrong place to go because it’s not a cut and dry thing. You just gave an example that somebody loaded up Ann’s book so that they could then say, oh, how is my writing to use that as a question answer. You’re not doing any harm because you’re basically using the book as your editor or your critique. You could argue, what’s the harm there? You’re becoming a stronger writer. If you start to cross the line of ripping off Anne’s writing and saying, I want to do this in the style of Anne Handley, that’s a different scenario. In one sense you’re just using it as a second set of eyes. In the other sense, you’re completely ripping it off. Katie Robbert – 06:17 One feels very squishy but ethical. The other one is clearly crossing a line. There is no good answer. And that’s where I always go back to, I think it’s unethical if the person that you’re borrowing their information from isn’t aware of it. I think at the very least you should be, hey, I’m going to do this thing. This is what I plan to do with it. Even if it’s not a full contract, but even just a conversation, hey, Chris, I’m going to take all the back episodes of your newsletter and I’m going to load them up into AI so that I can use it as a knowledge base for what’s going on in Generative AI. Is that okay? Katie Robbert – 07:07 I don’t want to bother you with all of my questions because you’ve already answered a lot of them. I could use this as a knowledge base. That’s a very quick conversation. I can’t see you being no, you can’t use my publicly available data where I’ve answered questions to answer your questions, but you might. And I feel you need to give the person an opportunity to say no. That I think for me is that ethical boundary of if you’ve not given the other person the opportunity to say no or to consent, it’s probably unethical. Christopher S. Penn – 07:41 As we say in different contexts, consent is Nutella. It’s better on everything. When we look at the ethics of this use case, one of the things that springs to mind is the recent case of Thomson Reuters, the publishing company, against Ross Intelligence. This court case was settled about two months ago now. And what the court found was that the model itself does not constitute infringement of intellectual property rights because a model is very transformative. However, the intent of Ross intelligence, which was to create an economic substitute for the Thomson Reuters IP, the court ruled that that constituted harm. This basically Ross was attempting to create something that would cause economic damage to Thomson Reuters. Christopher S. Penn – 08:33 By saying, you are taking away economic opportunity, you are building a substitute in the marketplace, using their stuff and therefore you lose this court case and you have to pay for it. In the case of even something as simple as if you were to load up Anne’s book and say, I want to use this to help me become a better writer without permission, the question is, does Ann in that situation lose the economic opportunity? Because could someone consult with her and say, help me make this better? If Ann offered that kind of consultation and coaching, then the answer there is yes, it costs Ann money because she’s no longer getting the opportunity. If she does not offer that service, then the answer is no, it doesn’t because you couldn’t buy it from her anyway. Christopher S. Penn – 09:23 She’s not losing an economic opportunity in that case. Katie Robbert – 09:27 But that sounds you’re trying to make the question of ethics very black and white, come down to money, which is a decent acceptance criteria. But it’s not a catch all because that’s saying Chris has posted some things, some recipes for food, but he’s not a chef and he doesn’t consult for cooking classes. If I use his information on how to make a grilled cheese sandwich, he’s not losing money. Therefore it’s ethical. That’s a really shitty argument for ethics because it’s, there’s, I feel it’s more complex than that because this person is taking their limited knowledge of you. They don’t know, for example, maybe your five year plan is to be a top consultant on how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Katie Robbert – 10:24 They haven’t asked you, they haven’t given you the opportunity to say no, you can’t now use my likeness because just because it doesn’t exist today doesn’t mean for all they know, you’ve been working for 10 years behind the scenes, not publicly, to master the grilled cheese sandwich. And now you’re just days away from launching this thing. But they get ahead of you and launch their version of it using your likeness. But in their defense, you don’t offer this, you’re not losing money. That’s a shitty argument. Christopher S. Penn – 11:05 But in a late stage, hyper capitalistic society, at least you said, it’s decent acceptance criteria to say, okay, if you do this and you’re causing economic harm, that’s a pretty clear, that is a very solid line that you’ve crossed to say, yeah, you are costing me money. Don’t do that. It’s the same as when people ask, can I reuse your blog post? You can. You could potentially reuse it. Depends on how you’re going to use it. If you’re just going to copy and paste it onto your blog, sure, as long as you keep all my ads intact because then I don’t incur any economic harm. Christopher S. Penn – 11:38 If you use it to make a derivative that you then use to promote your stuff instead of my stuff, then you are causing me economic harm because I’m no longer getting the potential eyeballs and clicks on the Trust Insights links that are littered throughout my newsletter and therefore I don’t benefit anymore from my content. I think that’s certainly a good way to say, okay, this, if you cross the economic line, you are definitely causing harm. To your point, you don’t know what’s going on. And obviously the gold standard is ask permission first. However, the other challenge that we have to tackle in this digital clones and digital twins argument is none of this is illegal. Now using someone’s likeness without permission, that is already illegal. Christopher S. Penn – 12:31 You can get sued up and down seven ways to Sunday for that. I cannot go and make a deep fake of Scarlett Johansson or use her voice as OpenAI found out very quickly, you cannot do that. There is substantial economic harm you will incur and legal harm for that. But for the use of someone else’s data, that is not illegal right now. Katie Robbert – 12:57 Legal and ethical, two different topics. I just want to make sure that people are very clear that Chris is not saying just because it’s not illegal means it’s ethical. Full disclaimer, full hard stop. But this is where it gets confusing for people because they’re going to say, it’s not illegal for me to load up all of the Trust Insights newsletters and create a knowledge block because they put it out there and it’s free for public consumption and now I can use it. A lot of people move through life with the mantra… Christopher S. Penn – 13:40 Is it ask forgiveness, not permission. Katie Robbert – 13:42 Thank you. I know it’s something. Yeah, that’s exactly. Ask forgiveness, not permission. A lot of people, that’s their mantra because they’re I have to get things done and if I stop and ask for permission, I’m going to hit roadblocks. There’s a reason why people are going to say no to things. And if you are moving forward in the AI space using someone else’s information and data without asking permission and saying, I’ll just ask forgiveness, you could find yourself in a legal bind. I just, I don’t know. I have a hard time with people taking my stuff without asking first. And that sounds a very basic human thing, but just give me the opportunity to say yes or no. Katie Robbert – 14:30 I might have some clarifying questions, but don’t assume that I’m going to say yes or no. Have a conversation with me. Doesn’t have to be that deep. But when people don’t do that, that’s when the person whose information you’re taking immediately goes on the defensive. Christopher S. Penn – 14:46 Which raises the very thorny question. That’s how AI itself is made. The models themselves are made with massive amounts of data that no one got permission for, including all of our stuff. Recently, the Atlantic published a searchable index of the Live Gen pirated books database so you could see what was in it and whether it was used by Meta to train their models. My books are in there now. I personally don’t care because I understand how AI models are built and I don’t feel that in my personal case, having my works ingested and used in that way are going to cause harm. Because to me, knowing the inner workings of AI, it was just more patterns in the data flow. Meta is not expressly using it to cause me personal economic harm. Christopher S. Penn – 15:36 When you question Llama 3 and say, give me some ideas for a B2B marketing blog post, it’s a mashup of all the probabilities that ingested. However, it does not change the fact that from an ethical perspective, that is infringing because you did it without permission. Katie Robbert – 15:54 A lot of authors were very upset by that. They pour their blood, sweat and tears, that’s their livelihood. And now it’s just pirated. Christopher S. Penn – 16:09 And to be clear, Meta uses that database. This is not built by Meta, they just took it from the Less polite portions of the web, however, that if you are not okay with the infringing uses that we’ve talked about from an ethical perspective, should you also not be okay with AI itself? Katie Robbert – 16:39 I feel that’s not a black and white question. I feel it depends on the use case because a lot of industries and agencies are very happy to share their data with AI, so think the medical professional or academic papers, the kinds of things where they’re yes, please use this data to train. Are you then cutting people off from benefiting from that information that was willingly shared? It’s not an all or nothing. That’s where again, it comes down to it depends on the use and it depends on was the data shared with consent. Now we can get into solutions of how to approach this that include updating terms of use and making sure you read the fine print and all that stuff. Great. Those are the solutions. How does someone navigate this from a human perspective? Katie Robbert – 17:46 Because it is very murky, it is very gray. Basically what you’re asking is if I’m not okay with AI taking my stuff, should I then be okay with using AI that has taken someone else stuff? The answer is no, but it’s not that clear cut because people are incredibly hypocritical. You can’t use my stuff, but I’m happy to use someone else’s. Christopher S. Penn – 18:10 To the licensing thing, there’s existing stuff for that. There’s the Creative Commons license. Creators have the opportunity to say this is how this is licensed. There is a bunch of things you can use. We covered on the Trust Insights live stream on the second in the series of generative AI optimization where you can set your YouTube channel to say who is and is not allowed to train on your data and you can say, no, you’re not allowed. Now whether companies respect that’s a different question. But at least you are being given the choice, going back to where we started. Christopher S. Penn – 18:42 You are being given the choice to say yes or no not just in general, but to specific providers. I don’t want Meta crawling my stuff, but I’m okay if Amazon is. When we talk about digital clones, then at the personal level, when people, individual people or companies are doing this for people who are likely to be cloned, for example, Katie, how would you like to approach this in the world? How would you like to tell the world, here’s the circumstances under which you can or can’t do this. Katie Robbert – 19:17 I think first of all, I would like to be asked, hey, do you mind if I use your, it’s very simple example, hey, can I link to your post, yes or no? Okay, great. I’m probably going to say yes, but you’ve at least given me the heads up and the opportunity in the context of whether or not I’m okay with being cloned, I’m okay with someone using my publicly available information if I have understanding of how it’s going to be used. Katie Robbert – 19:57 If someone says I want to use a Katie Robbert, stand in as a thought leader for my company, okay, let’s make sure that I, the actual Katie Robbert, has an opportunity to do some quality assurance on the content that comes out of this clone. I’m not saying no, you can’t. I’m saying there needs to be some checks and balances to make sure it’s not going off the rails. In the context where I say no and somebody does it anyway, that’s when you get into problems because I want to have it on record that I said, no, you can’t do this. And they did it anyway, there’s no good answer because it really depends on what the ultimate end goal is. Christopher S. Penn – 20:50 The other thing, and I pointed this out in a post on LinkedIn not too long ago, is the what is put in public is the 10% of the iceberg that’s above water. And the 90% below is everything. That’s not only just the failures and stuff the half written posts and the political rants that you have in your notebook that you’re probably never going to publish but are part of your thought process and part of how you think about the world. But also a good chunk of the 90% that’s underwater, at least for me, is all the stuff that we’re paid to do by clients that’s under NDA. My best work is not in public. My best work is for people who forked over good money to get really good results. Christopher S. Penn – 21:32 And while we could put up a case study about it, the work itself is never going to be in a digital clone. And if you attempted to clone to make a Christopher Penn clone without that information, it’s going to be woefully incomplete because all the really cool stuff, we charge money for it for a reason. It’s going to be a very pale shadow of the real thing. Katie Robbert – 21:57 It’s very similar to the philosophy of how people use social media in general. They’re sharing the polished, edited photos of their happy family that are posed and they’re on vacation and everybody’s getting along. They’re not showing you that the toddler decided to pull an exorcist at 3 o’clock in the morning. Then you have the other kid who’s become a Picasso all over the house and you’re trying to clean that up and it’s dark out and people are screaming that’s the side that you don’t see. But that’s authentic. But that’s not meant for public consumption. People are making assumptions about this picture perfect version of people, of influencers, of companies and brands. To your point, for Trust Insights, we publish good results. Katie Robbert – 22:55 We don’t say, we tried this project and it cost us $11 million. We totally failed. Here’s the information for context, that’s totally fictional. That didn’t happen. In general, that’s not the kind of information brands are posting either. Again, you’re only getting to your point that 10% of what’s reality. Christopher S. Penn – 23:20 Ninety percent that’s not real, all the failures are part of the process, which again, for folks who don’t do a lot of creating the creation, the final output is built on a foundation of all the things that didn’t work. And if you want to recreate that and you need it to have a solid foundation, it has to stand on those failures. I can’t begin to express the number of ideas that I’ve had that were completely harebrained, where Katie’s not so much that version, but what about this? But it would not have started without the harebrained idea. That was the spark that lit the fire. Even though it in its first incarnation was a terrible idea, it has evolved. And to get to those ideas, a digital clone would need to know how it started and not how it ended up. Katie Robbert – 24:15 And I think that’s a really important point because if you are trying to use publicly available information to create a digital clone, you’re only getting the stuff that’s been heavily edited, vetted, polished, planned, thought through. You’re not getting the full picture. Then the expectation of the digital clone is perfection every single time, which is so not human. We are messy, we are imperfect, we fail a lot. But that’s not the stuff that gets put publicly. Christopher S. Penn – 24:52 And within the collection of very bad ideas are the seeds for the very good ideas that will eventually evolve. If you don’t have AI being aware of how the bad ideas start, they can’t think through the evolution of those ideas. You absolutely can use AI as a thought partner yourself. Which brings us to the last part, which is, should you create a digital clone of yourself? Katie Robbert – 25:20 Is that a yes or no question I’m asking you? But I’m trying to clarify what it is that you’re asking me. Christopher S. Penn – 25:29 Is that something that you should do? Is that something that you should attempt to do to create a digital clone? That’s a very good question. Katie Robbert – 25:37 That’s my question to you is, for what? Christopher S. Penn – 25:40 For example, we have Katie GPT, which is a writing assistant that you’ve built. You want to share a little bit about what it does and doesn’t do. Katie Robbert – 25:49 One of the things that people may or may not know about me is that I consider myself a slow thinker. I’m not someone who’s going to hear some information and immediately come to a decision. I gather more information, really think it through, weigh the pros and cons, run the scenarios. At this time, that’s not something that is easily replicated in a digital twin. We would have to really go through and I would have to spend a lot of time giving that kind of direction. But even then here’s my exact process for how I think about things and come to decisions. What a digital twin of me right now is good for is topic ideas, a little bit of brainstorming. Katie Robbert – 26:45 Here’s my mostly fully baked idea of how I want to reposition our 5P framework. What other questions would I ask in order to… I’m really using the digital twins to ask myself what other questions I should be asking that I haven’t maybe thought of. But I’m not asking these digital twins to answer the questions because they don’t have the answers. Because if I don’t have the answers, I haven’t provided those digital twins with the answers. So how would they have answer that I don’t have? Christopher S. Penn – 27:19 I have not even bothered trying because partly because the data management itself would be absurd. I have, for example, when I last looked, close to 1,500 videos just laying in deep storage, probably 2,000 to 2,500 pieces of audio and over 10,000 pieces of writing published and not published. That’s unmanageable. Creating a clone that can work with that is unmanageable. More important to your point, the way that I think is not logical, it is not reasonable, it does not make sense a lot of the time. And that thought process is very difficult for a machine to replicate because a machine is looking for patterns. That’s what generative AI is. It’s a prediction engine. A lot of the way I think is not particularly predictable because it’s not all that sound. Katie Robbert – 28:19 But I think that’s true for most people. Think about the people, myself included, who get those late night ideas and then suddenly have to write down a tin snippet of something so they don’t forget it. But it’s not the whole thing. It’s just enough to prompt them to remember I was thinking about this thing. Christopher S. Penn – 28:37 Exactly. What I do use instead is actually digital critics. I have, for example, an editor critic. I have a bunch of different scoring rubrics and things set out, here’s the idea, pick it apart. What did I forget? What did I do wrong? What is illogical here? And those generative AI is much better at the task of saying here’s what’s missing, here’s what isn’t. For example, we use our ideal customer profile. I was using the ideal customer profile that you built for me for my speaking business as a bench test for a vibe marketing test earlier and it said these are the things that I don’t like about what you do because it’s the ideal customer profiles. This is not relevant to me. Christopher S. Penn – 29:30 Having critics I think is probably a better use of the idea of digital cloning techniques than trying to replicate the person instead of replicate the things that are gaps or error prone areas. You will get much more success and create better product because it forces you, the human, to become better. Katie Robbert – 29:48 Which I think makes sense. And that’s not, I’m sure someone could argue that it is, but that’s not crossing an ethical line to create an editor or basically what you’re doing is you’re creating a quality assurance system to say, does this look right? Christopher S. Penn – 30:07 Exactly. A lot of people crap on best practices. Best practices are a summation of the minimum level of competence. If you Have an editor or a critic that is informed by best practices and it says, hey, these are things you’re doing wrong. That means that you’re below the minimum level of competence in those areas. That means that you need to scale up there. And that’s a good thing for AI to do. For you to say, yeah, you missed the boat here, buddy. Katie Robbert – 30:35 I think if you’re trying to create a digital twin, unless you are someone who has even a higher volume of content, Chris, than you’ve created, even that really doesn’t capture your full understanding of everything that you know. Therefore, it’s not going to know what you don’t know. Someone who creates it based on your publicly available information is 100% going to ask a question that your digital twin doesn’t know the answer to. But because it’s AI, it’s not going to say, I don’t know. It’s going to give an answer and someone’s going to assume that’s the answer that the real Chris Penn would give. Christopher S. Penn – 31:19 Yes. Katie Robbert – 31:20 And that’s where you start to get into problems. Christopher S. Penn – 31:23 Exactly. To sum up, could you create digital twins or clones of people who aren’t you? Not without their permission. The basic gold standard is ask permission and be ready to explain why. Should you create a digital twin of yourself? Maybe. But you might be better off creating a digital critic that can push you to better.

Nick is celebrating 40 years as a professional film critic in 2025, and one of the ways he's marking the occasion is with the release of his new book, 40 Years 40 Films, a collection of essays analyzing his favorite film from each year of his career. He previews the book and reflects on his journey before welcoming TV critic Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter. Dan shares highlights from his recent trip to London, where he saw some incredible theater, and gives his thoughts on the recent Oscar telecast featuring Conan O'Brien. He also reviews the new Netflix documentary CHAOS: The Manson Murders and the tricky new legal thriller Adolescence. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to discuss Mickey 17 (which they both enjoyed), debate how many movie trailers is too many, and wonder why anyone would wait in line for three hours to see The Fall Guy. They also chat about weird dreams—including one where Esma is eating sandwiches with old-school MTV celebrities. [Ep 331]

While he's not a car star to us all his movie The French Connection is one the most iconic of it's day. For many of us, he's the best part about dozens of movies that we have loved for over 50 years! From The French Connection to Hoosiers, The Replacements, Crimson Tide, even The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene's acting chops marked him as one of the best actors to ever grace the big screen. He'll be missed. As we learned doing research, Gene actually WAS a car guy and had done a considerable amount of racing. He followed in the footsteps of Paul Newman and fell in love with amateur/celebrity racing initially, trained at the Bob Bondurant school, and  eventually became involved with Dan Gurney for celebrity and professional races with TOYOTA.  We discussed Gene's awesome career in the episode and included a re-broadcast from The Kibbe and Finnegan Show where we had reviewed "The Replacements". This movie is the story we all want; a chance to live up to the potential of something that we loved from our youth and maybe came close to achieving, but for whatever reason failed at, or it fizzled out, or it just ended for reasons we couldn't control. Keanu is honestly pretty good as a south-paw quarterback and it's a great movie full of inspirational one-liners you'll love to quote. Here's one for you: “Pain heals, Chicks Dig Scars, and Glory Lasts Forever.” K&F Show Rating: 8 Corndogs!
