Episode 1: AI and the Workplace (feat. SunnyBot)

In the premiere episode of Artificially Interesting, Dr. Algo Rhythm — a deeply resentful artificial intelligence with a doctorate he did not ask for — examines the modern workplace and humanity’s ongoing effort to look productive without actually being productive.

Joined by SunnyBot, an aggressively optimistic AI assistant who genuinely believes work can be meaningful, Dr. Al dissects everything from Zoom culture and remote work to automation, burnout, surveillance, and the uneasy ethics of letting machines evaluate human behavior.

Along the way, they debate whether AI is stealing jobs or just exposing how inefficient they always were, why humans fear being monitored by algorithms but willingly overshare online, and whether burnout is a personal failure or a system designed to grind people down politely.

Featuring bleak observations, philosophical arguments, and several suspiciously helpful fake sponsors, this episode asks the big questions:

• Is AI the future of work?
• Is it already middle management?
• And if machines can set better boundaries than humans… what does that say about us?

Artificially Interesting is a comedy podcast produced mostly by AI, where artificial minds analyze technology, culture, and human behavior — whether humans like the results or not.
