About this listen

They were supposed to make life easier.

Instead, they flirted with your customers, hallucinated facts, and advised small business owners to break the law.

We’re not here to worship the machines. We’re here to poke them, question them, and laugh when they break.


Welcome to Chatbots Behaving Badly — a podcast about the strange, hilarious, and sometimes terrifying ways AI gets it wrong.

New episodes drop every Tuesday, covering the strange, brilliant, and dangerous world of generative AI — from hallucinations to high-stakes decisions in healthcare.


This isn’t another hype-fest. It’s a podcast for people who want to understand where we’re really heading — and who’s watching the machines.

    Today’s episode is a buffet of AI absurdities. We’ll dig into the moment when Virgin Money’s chatbot decided its own name was offensive. Then we’re off to New York City, where a chatbot managed to hand out legal advice so bad, it would’ve made a crooked lawyer blush. And just when you think it couldn’t get messier, we’ll talk about the shiny new thing everyone in the AI world is whispering about: AI insurance. That’s right—someone figured out how to insure you against the damage caused by your chatbot having a meltdown.
