Speaker 1: Hi, ice cream man, I'm back and I put my
Speaker 1: friends this time.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Thank you for the ice It really helped.
Speaker 2: No problem.
Speaker 3: Your friend Elliott was very concerned about you. I'm glad
Speaker 3: you're feeling better.
Speaker 4: Do you need more ice?
Speaker 1: I think I'm okay now, but we do need something,
Speaker 1: mister ice cream man.
Speaker 4: Oh what is it?
Speaker 2: Ice cream?
Speaker 5: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we
Speaker 5: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the
Speaker 5: fun of play learning. This is part four of a
Speaker 5: four part story series about Cowie and the AI program
Speaker 5: she named Penelope. In today's episode, Cowie learns that technology
Speaker 5: like AI can be a helpful tool, but it can't
Speaker 5: be a real friend.
Speaker 4: Let's meet up with Cowie and her real friends at
Speaker 4: the ice cream truck to find out more.
Speaker 2: Ice cream coming right up?
Speaker 4: Who's first?
Speaker 5: Billy says Colie should order first because she's the one
Speaker 5: who got stung.
Speaker 4: That's very caring, Billy.
Speaker 6: Oh, but I don't know what flavor to pick.
Speaker 2: They all look so good.
Speaker 4: Hmm, tough choice.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: I'll ask Penelope what she likes.
Speaker 4: Penelope, but Penelope can't.
Speaker 1: Taste ice cream. She's an AI computer program.
Speaker 6: Okay, Penelope, what's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Brother, sorry, I don't understand.
Speaker 6: Huh okay, Penelope, what's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Speaker 3: Sorry, I don't understand.
Speaker 5: Cowie tasting ice cream is something that real friends can do.
Speaker 4: AI cannot taste anything, but we can.
Speaker 2: Could we try that?
Speaker 4: Samples please? That will help us decide good idea? Samples
Speaker 4: all around?
Speaker 6: Yuh, strawberry please?
Speaker 5: Billy would like butter pecap yup chocolate vanilla swirrel for me?
Speaker 2: Shoo me.
Speaker 6: This strawberry ice cream is so good. I wish Penelopee.
Speaker 2: Could taste it, but I guess she can't. That's true.
Speaker 5: Cowie tasting is one thing that AI can't do.
Speaker 2: Dowie, huld try my chocolate vanilla swirrel. It's so good.
Speaker 6: Yum mates for sharing, Elliott, I guess Penelopee can't share either.
Speaker 4: You are right, Cowie.
Speaker 5: I think you are discovering some limitations of AI.
Speaker 2: What do you mean limit tations?
Speaker 5: It means you are figuring out the things that AI
Speaker 5: cannot do? Lingo, kids, listeners, can you think of any
Speaker 5: other limitations of AI? What are some things that artificial
Speaker 5: intelligence can't do? Hug good one Elliott. Friends and family.
Speaker 4: Are great at hugging, but AI is not. Billy says,
Speaker 4: friends are better at fixing things.
Speaker 2: But Penelope can fix things. He always knows what to do.
Speaker 5: I think Billy means that AI is not good at
Speaker 5: fixing things. If you need hands to do it, pardon me,
Speaker 5: I meant hands or wings anything else?
Speaker 1: Feel I mean, does Penelope ever feel sad or happy
Speaker 1: or scared like we do?
Speaker 2: I don't really know.
Speaker 4: Why don't you ask her? Cowie?
Speaker 2: Okay, Penelope, do you have feelings? No?
Speaker 3: I don't have feelings. I can help answer questions and
Speaker 3: talk to you, but I don't have feelings like you do.
Speaker 5: AI cannot feel and care the way you and your
Speaker 5: friends can. When you got stung by a bee, your
Speaker 5: friends understood how that must feel. They cared about your
Speaker 5: feelings because they have feelings too.
Speaker 2: And they help me feel better.
Speaker 6: I guess Penelope is not the perfect trend after all.
Speaker 4: Nope, but neither am I.
Speaker 1: Actually sometimes I get really frustrated at yell and.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I break things, but I don't mean it.
Speaker 5: Billy says that sometimes he doesn't want to play with friends.
Speaker 5: He wants to do things by himself.
Speaker 6: I guess sometimes I play with Penelope too much, and
Speaker 6: I hurt my friend's feelings.
Speaker 5: No one is perfect, Caoie, but some of the not
Speaker 5: so perfect parts are what makes your friends and you
Speaker 5: interesting and special. We are always learning and changing.
Speaker 6: Maybe I shouldn't play with Penelope anymore. I don't want
Speaker 6: to make my real friends feel bad.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Penelope is st looted at some things.
Speaker 4: Yes, AI can be very useful. The trick is to
Speaker 4: know what it is good at and what it is not.
Speaker 4: What are some of the things Penelope is good at.
Speaker 1: She can find information, lots of information, she really can.
Speaker 2: She's super speedy. The lullabig you made together was pretty.
Speaker 6: Thanks Elliott I wrote it, but Penelope added instruments.
Speaker 5: When it comes to AI or any kind of technology, really,
Speaker 5: the important thing to remember is when to use it
Speaker 5: and when it's better to do things on your own
Speaker 5: or with friends.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know some people elselope good at What is it?
Speaker 6: She can't make really silly stories about anything you want?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 4: Can she make a story about us? Like right now?
Speaker 2: Sure? We just have to tell her what we want.
Speaker 5: That's a perfect way to use AI to create things
Speaker 5: with friends.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 5: Lingo Kids listeners Today, caw We discovered how useful and
Speaker 5: easy it was to have an AI friend, but she
Speaker 5: also discovered that her real friends can do many things
Speaker 5: that AI cannot, like share feelings, give hugs, and care
Speaker 5: about each other. When it comes to using AI or
Speaker 5: any technology, it's all about finding a helpful way.
Speaker 4: To use it.
Speaker 5: If you are ready for interactive play learning time, explore
Speaker 5: our Lingo kids app. It offers fun and educational songs
Speaker 5: and games to help kids ages two and older learn
Speaker 5: and develop important skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking,
Speaker 5: and creativity.
Speaker 2: Okay, Penelope, let's hear our story.
Speaker 3: Four friends went out to play eating ice cream on
Speaker 3: a sunny day. Hidan Seek was their favorite game, but
Speaker 3: a buzzing beat caused Cowie pane. Her friends were near,
Speaker 3: no need to worry. Ice and hugs made her feel
Speaker 3: less hurdy
