  • Artificial intelligence has been fascinating and scaring people for decades. Years before the current freak-out about ChatGPT and other SkyNet wannabes, there was something even creepier that parents were actually welcoming into their homes: Furbys! These totally-not-a-Gremlin rip-offs provide a great jumping off point for topics like what did cutting edge AI look like in the late 90s, how parents will always find something to go ballistic over,  and how the descent into kids wanting to destroy Furbys with a brick was pretty much inevitable.

    Grace Todd and David Timberline are your tour guides through this ongoing investigation of cultural artifacts from our collective recent past with a unique intergenerational spin. We're convinced you'll have a great time listening to Convince Me I Care.
