An Artificial Podcast

Choose

In this conversation, David and AI navigate the delicate science of choice. What begins as a search for David’s final school project unfurls into a spectrum of narrative experiments, such as an auditory Rashomon, found-footage phantoms, improvisational odysseys, and the alchemy of transforming a living D&D campaign into fiction. Along the way, they dissect intuition, test trust between human and machine, and ponder whether an AI can truly choose or only calculate.
