This episode is a sharp, slightly skeptical look at AI’s biggest promises and red flags.
Delta wants to use AI to personalize 20% of your airfare by 2025, and not everyone’s thrilled about it. In this episode of 4 Guys Talking About AI, we dig into what that means for pricing, privacy, and who really benefits when algorithms run the show.

And in this week’s Notes from the Field, we talk about how AI is creeping into mental health. From Harvard-backed studies to real-life “therapy” experiences with ChatGPT, AI companions are getting a serious upgrade, but not without some ethical red flags (and slightly panicked husbands.)

Meanwhile, Google’s earnings are soaring thanks to Cloud and AI features like Overviews and the newly-announced WebGuide. But if organic search keeps tanking, what happens to the rest of the web?

And then there’s the valuation circus: Lovable hit $1.8B in just eight months. Harvey’s right behind it. Are these AI startups really that good, or just really early? And what’s so unique about them if AI Advisor Alexander Braun says “Lovable is just Claude with pretty buttons,” for example?

What We Discuss In This Episode:

• Delta tests AI-powered personalized pricing in travel – How AI could tailor airfare pricing up to 20% by 2025
• AI companions are redefining elder care – Harvard-backed insights on AI services supporting seniors (via Forbes)
• Alphabet’s Q2 earnings: Cloud & AI fuel growth – Breakdown of Google’s rising revenue from Cloud and AI products
• Google’s Web Guide Labs: AI-organized search results – Google experiments with AI to streamline search result organization
• Lovable: Chat-powered AI app builder – Create apps and websites by chatting with AI
• Bolt.new: Build stunning apps & websites with AI – Another platform blending AI with web/app development workflows
