    The Fix is In

    In a WhatsApp'd invitation from Anne Jenkin a party during lockdown was described as “joint birthday drinks“. It was both Virginia Crosbie’s 54th and Anne Jenkin’s 65th birthdays on December 8, 2020.* Why let a little thing like lockdown get in the way of having a party? Today we learn that the Standards Commissioner has "insufficient evidence" that the event was a lockdown rule breaching party... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    We Asked AI Chatbots for Their Take on #PMQs

    This experiment shows there’s a lot of artificial intelligence in Chatting With Chatbots. All the voices are 100% artificial (the advances in that field are truly astonishing). Even the voice of the presenter – the voice of Simon Carr – is artificially generated. The presenter’s script was written by Carr, with the contributions from the Chatbots – that is, all the Americans – are entirely from the AI programmes that are either ChatGPT or its descendants (yes, it is metastasising). It is a little appreciated fact that Chatbots are still idiotic – however idiotic in a recognisably human way. Will they take over professional jobs? Radio 4 presenters, newscasters, advertising copywriters, energy policy formulators? They’re not there yet – though they’re certainly on the way. Hosted on Acast.
