The AI Fix #85: ChatGPT gets ads, pets get AI therapists, and everyone’s wrong about LLMs

In episode 85 of The AI Fix, Graham discovers that Silicon Valley has the solution to your pet's mental health crisis, and Mark explains why AI godfather Yann LeCun thinks the entire AI industry is wrong about LLMs. Also in this episode, OpenAI decides to ruin ChatGPT with ads; Sam Altman and Elon Musk and have a public spat over whose AI is more murderous; humanoid robots turn up at CES 2026 and answer of whether robots can fight—with a resounding "no"; and AI slop forces the beloved cURL project to shut down its bug bounty program. All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of "The AI Fix" podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.

The AI Fix #84: A hungry ghost trapped in a jar gains access to the Pentagon’s network

In episode 84 of The AI Fix, Graham and Mark stare straight into the digital abyss and ask the most important question of our age: "Is AI just a hungry ghost trapped in a jar?" Also this week, we explore how a shadowy group of disgruntled insiders trying to destroy AI by poisoning its training data, how "vibe-coding" has stopped being a joke with even Linus Torvalds joining in, how Google’s AI health advice could have endangered lives, and why simply asking an AI the same question twice can turn it from clueless to near-omniscient. Oh, and AI has managed to crack some famously unsolved maths problems in minutes, and Grok gains access to all of the Pentagon's networks? What could possibly go wrong? All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of "The AI Fix" podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.

The AI Fix #82: Santa Claus doesn’t exist (according to AI)

Is Santa Claus real? This Christmas special of The AI Fix podcast sets out to answer that question in the most sensible way possible: by consulting chatbots, Google's festive killjoys, and the laws of relativistic physics. Your hosts unwrap a festive grab-bag of AI absurdity as Waymo self-driving taxis run over a beloved San Francisco cat, then stage several fresh PR disasters by refusing to cross bridges, block holiday parades, and apparently chauffeur a man hiding in the trunk. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Copilot struggles to find anyone who actually wants to use it, while new research suggests the programmers of the future won’t need coding skills at all - just the ability to psychologically profile an AI. All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of "The AI Fix" podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.

The AI Fix #81: ChatGPT is the last AI you’ll understand, and your teacher is a deepfake

In episode 81 of The AI Fix, Graham discovers that deepfakes are already marking your kids' homework, while Mark glimpses the future when he discovers AI agents that can communicate by reading each other's minds. Also in this episode, a Chinese robot called Miro U proves six arms are better than two; Mark discovers a well known prompting technique doesn't work unless you want to make your AI dumber; Network Rail delays 32 trains because of an AI photo of a wonky bridge; and our hosts ponder the explosion of progress on the ARC-AGI-2 reasoning benchmark. All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of "The AI Fix" podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.

The AI Fix #80: DeepSeek’s cheap GPT-5 rival, Antigravity fails, and your LLM likes it when you’re rude

In episode 80 of The AI Fix, your hosts look at DeepSeek 3.2 “Speciale”, the bargain-basement model that claims GPT-5-level brains at 10% of the price, Jensen Huang’s reassuring vision of a robot fashion industry, and a 75kg T-800 style humanoid that can do flying kicks because robot-marketing departments have clearly learned nothing from Terminator. Meanwhile in Miami, flesh-coloured robot dogs with hyper-realistic billionaire heads wander around pooping NFT “excrement samples” out of their rear ends. Plus - Graham tells a cautionary tale of Google’s Antigravity IDE enthusiastically "clearing the cache" – and asks what happens when we hand real power to agentic AIs. And Mark digs into new research that suggests LLMs perform better when you’re rude to them, and wonders what it says about the fragile, deeply weird way these systems actually work. All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of "The AI Fix" podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
