Interview With AI
2/2/26
What happens when five leading AI systems are asked the same questions?
In this special episode, we bring Gemini, Claude, Grok ChatGPT and Copilot to the same table to confront the issues shaping our future—jobs and automation, AI safety, AGI risk, intimacy, loneliness, and climate impact.
We start with introductions and move to jobs - which ones are changing first, which skills matter next, and why creativity alone isn’t AI-proof. Then we discuss AGI—what it is, why it matters, and why even AGI engineers describe it as dangerous.
The conversation ends in the most human territory of all: AI companions, emotional attachment, and loneliness.
