PRESSURISED: 062 – Mythbusting Ai with Tyler Greenfield

Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 62, just the science, none of the waffle PRESSURISED: Mythbusting Ai with Tyler Greenfield | The Deep-Sea Podcast | Episode 62

Check out our lovely new website where you can find more detailed notes, images and links to the wider reading.

In a follow-up to one of our favourite episodes, Ep 10 Here be Monsters, we bring Tyler Greenfield back for another fascinating chat, this time about Mythbusting in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Our feeds have been filled with images of mermaids, bizarre creatures supposedly from the depths and even strange barnacle washing videos, so we ask Tyler to bring his expertise to weigh in on the prevalence and problems with AI images.

Guest Interview

Tyler Greenfield is a paleontologist and cryptozoologist whose blog, Incertae Sedis reveals the truth behind some cryptozoological stories and paleontological mistakes. Since his appearance on episode 10, Tyler has finished his bachelor’s, written a good few papers, appeared on other podcasts (none as good as his debut of course) and is almost done with his masters and is about to start his PhD. He was even a credited consultant on the new (2025) Walking with Dinosaurs.
