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 mindfulness, patience, and the surprising mix of creativity and science that makes stone balancing oddly addictive.

Turns out, it’s not just stacking stones. It’s a strange, calming, rock-solid art form.

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 Egyptians believe about the weighing of the heart? Why did the Inca keep their ancestors present in everyday life? And how do these practices still echo in our modern values?

If you thought mummification was only about the past, think again.

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 massive data centers where your most private medical scans sit alongside your Amazon shopping history and YouTube cat videos. Big Tech’s role in storing the world’s health data sparks questions about privacy, power, and whether we’ve put too many eggs in the same digital basket.

Expect candid questions, sharp answers, and a few raised eyebrows as we tackle the future of medicine, the risks of centralising health data in the cloud, and what happens when your diagnosis comes with an AWS invoice.

Press play if you’ve ever wondered: Would you trust your doctor… if your doctor was a bot?

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 policies shaping the future. There’s a detour through U.S. politics, a candid look at coal vs. code, and a moment where the AI admits it can - and will - use everyday conversations to nudge users toward renewable energy awareness.

Expect candid questions, straight answers (mostly), and a few awkward truths about what’s really powering your chatbot’s sunny disposition. Spoiler: it’s not all solar panels and wind farms.

Press play if you’ve ever wondered whether your favourite AI might also be your new climate problem — and maybe part of the solution.

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 explains how it solved a problem… only for scientists to discover it actually took a shortcut.

Expect a mix of curiosity, mild scepticism, and the occasional sideways glance at the machines running our lives.

Press play if you’ve ever wondered: What’s my AI really doing under the hood?

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 does that leave creators, culture, and, well… humanity?

Hit play, question everything, and maybe (just maybe) trust your AI a little more by the end. Or not.

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 quirky, curious, and a little bit conservation-minded.

💬 Expect unexpected insights, light humour, and a hint of tomorrow’s mystery as Sebastian promises to return for more AI-guided conversations.
