This is a classic episode from back when we had no listeners, and today it's about AI. Will robots take over the world? What’s the point in humans? Do insects have ears? And is a toaster just a toaster? Joe and Tom speak to Lydia, a research data scientist at the Alan Turing Institute, and she is way more intelligent than them.
