This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .   If you think you know what it's like to chat with today's AI, you may change your mind after encountering Phil D. Hall's work. He deploys chatbots as part performance art, part anthropological study pieces, part boundary-busting provocations, as well as serious tools for business enhancement. We talk about his Echoborg creation and what happened when it met some British parliamentarians... All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines.  Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
