AI and innovation in engineering vs comedy: AI drives innovation in engineering, while comedy shows like Smosh's Bit City use 'bits' to engage audiences, highlighting the importance of recognizing and acknowledging inside jokes in conversations.
Siemens is a forward-thinking company using AI to drive innovation and transformation in engineering solutions, while Smosh Mouth is creating a new show called Bit City, which will feature a variety of skits, conversations, and "bits" in between.
