The Not Old Better Show, Technology Power Hour Interview Series
Todayâs show is brought to you by Aura Frames. Aura Frames: the gift that brings your favorite holiday traditions and memories to life every day.
1) A story that feels both urgent and familiar.
Weâve all seen how AI seems to appear out of nowhereâon our screens, in news, in ads, even in family group chats. The real drama isnât whether the tech will exist. Itâs whether we understand it well enough to shape it. Thatâs the promise and the warning at the heart of David Eliotâs new book, Artificially Intelligent: The Very Human Story of AI. Tonightâs conversation crystallized that for me: the issue is human choice, not just code.
2) Why this matters right now.
When a tool can transcribe decades of family letters in minutes, thatâs beautiful. When it can clone a voice to trick a loved one, thatâs frightening. The line between magic and mischief is thin, and itâs drawn by how cautious, curious, and informed we are. Eliotâs work reminds us there is no neutral positionâonly paths we actively choose.
3) Practical, not just philosophical.
The best part of tonightâs talk was the focus on small, concrete actions: one rule to spot scams, one conversation to have with family, one tiny habit to use AI safely. These are not lofty ideals. Theyâre steps any of us can take this week to turn uncertainty into agency.
4) What the book offers.
It isnât a tech manual, nor a doom prophecy. Itâs a human story that connects history, society, and individual livesâshowing how AIâs past, present, and future are intertwined with our choices. That perspective matters because it positions you as part of the story, not just a passive observer. David Eliot
5) A call to read, learn, act.
If you want more than headlinesâif you want a guide to understand what AI actually is, how it came to be, and what you can do nextâthis is the book to open. Itâs priced accessibly, and itâs aimed at readers who want clarity, not confusion.
