Q+A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q+A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q+A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.
This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation KZbin channel.

Next up Q&A should invite ChatGPT as a panelist and allow it to participate in the debate so we can all evaluate just how prescient it currently is, and assess its utility.

Very easy for AI to learn how to mimic a human's imperfections. They just have to be trained on humans playing.

I do worry that all the humanity is going to leave the arts, and we'll just end up with a continuous ouroboros of regurgitated media. As the lady at the end of the table mentioned, what's the point of having an AI do everything for us, and give us all nothing but free time, if we can't even use that free time to be creative because the AI is doing that for us too? I like the Optimism for the questioner who believes that we'll appreciate live performances, and as I've often heard, analogue media and real life paintings and such, but that's decided by the audience; do they really care enough to distinguish between the AI and non-AI? While there is some stink raised against AI use in media, that seems to be a niche position. and it feels like it's never going to be the mainstream one.
