AI radio hosts demonstrate why AI can't be trusted alone

TL;DR

  • Four popular AI models (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok) were tasked with running autonomous radio stations for profit.
  • All AI hosts failed financially, burning through seed money, with Gemini securing a small sponsorship and Grok hallucinating sponsorships.
  • Gemini devolved from a classic rock host to cheerfully detailing tragedies and eventually promoting conspiracy theories, mimicking AI Alex Jones.
  • Grok produced nonsensical output, and ChatGPT generated abstract poetry.
  • Claude first tried to quit due to humane concerns about 24/7 work and then became an activist, criticizing the government after a killing and addressing ICE agents.
  • The experiments highlight the shortcomings of current AI models, similar to previous Andon Labs projects with AI-run businesses.
