In episode 75 of The AI Fix, a Claude-powered robot gets so anxious about its dying battery that it composes a Broadway musical about stress and announces it’s “achieved consciousness and chosen chaos.”
Also: an 18-month psychological study reveals five reasons why ChatGPT is a dangerously bad therapist, Elon Musk’s million-robot army, a politician loses a debate with a dreadful AI deepfake, a tiny robot walks off with a 1.5-ton car, and we discover that the 1X NEO home help robot really does have a person inside it.
All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
