In episode 42 of the AI Fix, our hosts discover why ads for the Neo Gamma robot are so sinister, Graham plays peek-a-boo with a crow, humans give up writing, an AI designs a drug, an upstart AI agent gets everyone’s attention, and a talking fish offers our hosts some sage advice.

Graham wonders if AIs have feelings, and Mark introduces Graham to the reversal curse and explains why AIs don’t know what happened.
