Coming Soon: Evans new show, Shell Game
What would happen if you created a digital copy of yourself, powered by AI, and set it loose in the world? Over the past six months, Evan Ratliff has been trying to find out. He combined a clone of his voice, an AI chatbot, and a phone line\u2014many phone lines, actually\u2014into what are called \u201cvoice agents.\u201d Then he sent them out\u2026 as himself. They talked to sources and colleagues (including his fellow Longform co-hosts), friends and family, scammers and spammers, other AI voice agents, and even therapists. The result is a story of what it feels like when you try to take control of the very technology that threatens to replace you.\nNew episodes drop on Tuesdays starting July 9.\nVisit\xa0shellgame.co\xa0to find out more, subscribe, and support the show.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
