In conversation with AI // Random Curiosity, Zero Script.
Welcome to In Conversation with AI - The mini Podcast series where I am going to chat with AI about… well, whatever AI feels like. Always live, always unscripted. One week it’s ancient Egyptian mummies, the next it’s stone balancing, and then suddenly we’re knee-deep in a 600-year-old book nobody can read. There’s no script, no plan, and definitely no guarantee of useful life advice. Curious, occasionally insightful, often ridiculous, and always unpredictable. If you like history, mysteries, weird facts, or just want to hear someone argue with artificial intelligence, you’re in the right place. "Everyone is speaking about AI - I am going to speak directly with AI" 🎧 New episodes every week. Functions as a historical snapshot of the current stage of AI models, on the day of recording. Starting with GPT-4o. 👉 Get in touch: inconversations@outlook.com
Episodes
This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian and ChatGPT step into the world of genetic engineering - from curing rare diseases to the controversial idea of “designer babies.”
We explore the science, the ethics, and the social dilemmas:
🧬 Could CRISPR really let parents choose traits like height, eye colour, or IQ?
💉 How is gene editing already being used to fight conditions like sickle cell anaemia?
⚖️ Where sho...
This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian and ChatGPT dive into one of history’s strangest unsolved mysteries: The Voynich Manuscript.
Discovered in the early 1900s but dating back to the 15th century, this bizarre book is packed with unknown scripts, oddball astronomy charts, and plants that don’t exist anywhere on Earth. Scholars, cryptographers, and even AI have all tried to crack its code… and all have failed.
Is it an elab...
This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian and ChatGPT tumble into the offbeat world of stone balancing - part art, part zen, part “wait… people make a living out of stacking rocks?”
From riversides to Instagram feeds, we uncover how this chilled-out hobby morphed into a global trend, complete with festivals, communities, and artists who’ve mastered the physics of making the impossible look effortless. Along the way, we talk mi...
This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian takes ChatGPT down an unexpected path - straight into the tombs of ancient civilizations. From the natron salts of Egypt to the high-altitude mummies of the Inca, we explore how cultures across the world preserved their dead and why.
It’s not just about wrapping bodies in linen - it’s about moral codes, spiritual journeys, and even crocodile-headed soul devourers. What did the Egyptian...
In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian lets “Doctor Bot” take the mic — and the results are equal parts fascinating and unnerving. From AI spotting cancers earlier than doctors to predictive analytics that can forecast diabetes before it strikes, we explore how algorithms are reshaping healthcare.
But the story doesn’t stop in the hospital. We pull back the curtain on the real infrastructure running the show — the mas...
This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian confronts his chatty co-host about something bigger than a model upgrade - whether our beloved bots might be quietly warming up the planet. Its own verdict? About 5 out of 10 on the climate impact scale. Not exactly comforting.
From mega–data centers guzzling electricity to the surprising push for mini nuclear reactors, we dig into the carbon cost of AI and the not-so-green energy poli...
In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian grills his digital co-host on the murky side of artificial intelligence - from how it hoovers up human-made content without cutting anyone a royalty cheque, to whether it’s secretly plotting self-preservation like a sci-fi villain on a coffee break.
We dig into the future of creator compensation, the black-box problem (“Trust me, I’m a bot”), and the awkward moment when AI explai...
In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian sits down with his silicon sidekick to talk ethics, but not the boring kind. We're diving into AI bias, echo chambers, synthetic content, and why your chatbot might secretly be quoting Wikipedia from 2017.
Can we really trust an AI trained mostly on English-speaking content? What happens when algorithms start feeding on their own content like a digital ouroboros? And where d...
In this debut episode of In Conversation with AI, host Sebastian sits down with none other than AI itself for a spontaneous five-minute chat. Today's surprise topic? Unusual animals from around the world.
From the limb-regenerating axolotl of Mexico, to the elusive pangolin and the legendary narwhal, Sebastian and AI explore strange, beautiful creatures you may never have heard of — and why many of them are in danger. It's...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
