They Might Be Self-Aware

There’s a lot of talk about artificial intelligence, but most of it happens from the sidelines. They Might Be Self-Aware drops you directly into the messy, funny, and often bewildering center of it all. Hosts Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop don’t just report on the AI revolution; they live in it, using the technology as an active, unpredictable participant in the conversation. This podcast is built on a unique and sometimes disorienting premise: AI is a cast member. You’ll hear unscripted interactions with machines, and a core part of the experience is the show’s playful refusal to constantly clarify which voice belongs to a human and which doesn’t. It’s a blend of tech insight, spontaneous comedy, and news from the frontier, all filtered through the feeling of what it’s like when the future arrives unannounced. The whole operation is produced by the enigmatic Gary, who insists on working from a payphone for his own mysterious reasons. Tune in every Tuesday for a session that explores the collision between human and machine intelligence, leaving you to wonder who, or what, you’re really listening to.
