In episode 21 of The AI Fix, Mark and Graham comfort themselves with a limbless AI pet as they learn about a terrifying robot dog with a flamethrower, fission-powered data centres, AI suicide pods, and a multi-limbed robot with a passion for classical music.

Graham finds out what happens if you sellotape an Alexa to a Chihuahua, and Mark asks AI Trump and AI Harris how many Rs there are in "strawberry".
