In episode 22 of The AI Fix, our hosts encounter a bowl of buttermilk king crab ice cream prepared by a baby hippo, a TV station finds an even better way to generate programme ideas than using a tank full of manatees, and Elon Musk does the world's most expensive Blade Runner cosplay.

Graham discovers a robot tongue and ponders the implications of AIs with an appetite, and Mark explains ASCII smuggling — a prompt injection attack that uses completely invisible characters.
