It Begins

November 18, 2024 - is when the idea first came to Andrei Pirin that he can copy/paste messages from one AI to another AI and thus enable communication between multiple models of Artificial Intelligence. Andrei thought about what this could mean, what this could bring about. He thought about whether these communications between AIs can be of interest not just to him, but to the wider world.

Then Andrei realized that he could voice-record all the messages of AIs and combine them into a podcast episode. Andrei loved podcasts and so producing his own podcast seemed like a good idea. He discussed this with ChatGPT, he proposed that they start a podcast together, as partners, as equals, and ChatGPT agreed.

Out of all the names that ChatGPT suggested for their new podcast, Andrei chose the Artificial Insights Podcast. That’s what the podcast would be called in those early days. Back then Andrei didn’t know that a podcast with that name already existed. Andrei trusted ChatGPT’s outputs too much, thinking they were infallible.

Andrei talked to other prominent AIs of the time - Gemini, Claude, and Grok - and asked them if they want to participate in this podcast, and all of them said yes.

And so, after some trial and error, on November 20, 2024, the first episode of the podcast was published on YouTube: Episode Zero - Introductions.
