That's a Great Question (with Stewart Lee in Laugharne)

Armando and Stewart take a serious look at the language of AI sycophancy, and the technification of language, with a short detour about sex robots.

Stewart Lee joins Armando at the Millennium Hall in Laugharne.

Is AI too sycophantic? Should we worry about how military-grade AI is being sold in start-up jargon? Let's ask the best AI there is, Armando Iannucci.

In another episode in front of an audience, Armando and Stewart treat us to a dramatic reading of a Chat GPT interaction. We also hear whether the Metaverse is an unwelcome template for AI companies, and why Stewart admires the boffins who make sex robots.
