The Terrifying Future of AI Companionship

While "Smashing Security" is on its summer holiday, here's a chance to listen to an episode of its sister show - "The AI Fix".

In episode ten of The AI Fix, Graham attempts to say "quinoa", Mark draws a line in the amper-sand, ChatGPT becomes an expert in solar panels and bomb disposal, and our hosts watch a terrifying trailer for a creepy new AI friend.

Graham discovers that the world of AI cookery is a soggy, limey mess, and learns an unusual trick for making a great mojito, while Mark pits his co-host against the cleverest AI brains in the world.
