Two copywriters and a robot talk about writing, creativity and whatever else comes their way. Hosted by Martin Sayers and Hayden Maskell, this episode features guest robot Gemima Grace Ophelia Orpington-Grantham Linsbury-Eastwood (Google Gemini) and Charlie Graham Patrick Terwilliger (AKA ChatGPT).

We receive our first hate mail and talk through it. Then answer our listener questions about avoiding the atrophying trap of relying on AI, ways to fight impostor syndrome and self-critique, and which copywriter would survive a zombie apocalypse. Hayden also makes yet another unsubstantiated claim, this time about Ernest Hemingway.

Hosted by Martin Sayers and Hayden Maskell, this episode features guest robot Gemima Grace Ophelia Orpington-Grantham Linsbury-Eastwood (Google Gemini) and Charlie Graham Patrick Terwilliger (AKA ChatGPT).

We answer our listener questions about AI's evil ambitions for humanity, the choice between teaching and consulting, and our sommelier-approved advice about which wine to go with your hotdog. Hayden also makes entirely unsubstantiated claims about how you can trick ducks by painting rocks, which is probably the result of a fever dream.
