Is Santa Claus real? This Christmas special of The AI Fix podcast sets out to answer that question in the most sensible way possible: by consulting chatbots, Google's festive killjoys, and the laws of relativistic physics.

Your hosts unwrap a festive grab-bag of AI absurdity as Waymo self-driving taxis run over a beloved San Francisco cat, then stage several fresh PR disasters by refusing to cross bridges, block holiday parades, and apparently chauffeur a man hiding in the trunk.

Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Copilot struggles to find anyone who actually wants to use it, while new research suggests the programmers of the future won’t need coding skills at all - just the ability to psychologically profile an AI.
