Why We Get AI Completely Wrong According To Experts

Ben Schott on a Christmas card that became a bestseller, the secret languages of cabbies and spies, and why he won’t use AI.Episode OverviewBen Schott was nearly killed by a tanker in a Wapping alleyway. The back of it said one word: ink. That word explains his whole career. He finds the thing everyone sees and nobody notices, and puts it in a book.The first book began as a Christmas card. He printed 50 copies of a booklet of useful facts for friends, pushed one through the letterbox at Bloomsbury, and nine months later Schott’s Original Miscellany was a bestseller. He has since written two Jeeves and Wooster novels with the blessing of the Wodehouse estate, and Schott Significa, a book of secret languages.The ink truck opener is the best way into his mind. The cabbie who called the cricket seat the confessional is the best detail. And his reason for refusing to use AI on anything creative is the argument you will repeat afterwards.Chapters0:00 Introduction 1:02 Tell Me a Story 3:55 From Film to Digital 4:58 Darkroom Retouching at The Independent 5:48 Four Months in Advertising 9:41 From Photography to Schott's Miscellany 13:30 Designer vs Artist 16:24 Writing Jeeves & Wooster 20:03 Miscellany vs Trivia 22:09 The Ungoogleable & Schott Significa 28:14 AI, Language & Creativity 32:34 Diamond Dealers & Trust 33:24 Cabbies & Gondoliers 35:23 Football Chants 37:35 Schottenfreude: New German Words 40:09 The Future of WordsAbout the GuestBen Schott is a writer and designer.

Gordon Smart on Murdoch’s private jet, the Bizarre column, and the career he walked away from at the top.Episode Overview Gordon Smart was Scottish Sun editor at 32 and deputy editor of The Sun at 35. The morning after Hibs won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 114 years, Rupert Murdoch called him personally. The picture turned out to be Murdoch kissing Jerry Hall. Smart had to decide on the headline.He left not long after, walking away from the editorship that had been the plan. What followed was Radio X, Good Morning Britain, 5 Live, a ghostwritten Vinnie Jones autobiography, and a whisky brand that Diageo bought.In this conversation he explains what it was like to drive Murdoch through Aberdeenshire being interrogated about fishing and satellite dishes, how the Bizarre column worked, and what The Sun understood about language that social media is still catching up with. The Murdoch section is the best account of what it was like inside News International at the top.

Kate Cherrell on Victorian séances, TikTok mediums, and why the dead never really go away.Episode OverviewIn 1871, a woman called Mrs. Guppy was airlifted three miles across London by spirits and deposited, unconscious, onto a séance table. People at both ends confirmed she was there one minute, gone the next. Kate Cherrell tells this story in the first two minutes. It sets the tone exactly right.Cherrell has a doctorate in Victorian Gothic and has spent nine years writing about graves, mourning, and séances. She believes spiritualism booms whenever the world is in upheaval, and she has spent decades trying to explain away the man in a blue suit she saw walking through a house in Grimsby, and failing.In this conversation she explains how Helen Duncan was tried under an 18th-century Witchcraft Act for revealing a state secret during the Second World War, why mediumship was one of the only routes to female autonomy in the 19th century, what cold reading looks like up close, and why someone she knows lost a life-changing amount of money to a TikTok medium.The Mrs. Guppy opening is delightful. The Grimsby house is unsettling. The TikTok medium section is the most important thing in the episode for anyone with a grieving family member.Chapters(00:00) Cold open: Mrs. Guppy airlifted three miles across London(01:00) Intro: doctorate in Victorian Gothic, nine years of graves and séances(02:00) Tell me a story: the séance room, the bang, Mrs. Guppy on the table(04:00) The Fox sisters, Hydesville 1848, where spiritualism began(05:00) Mesmerism and the ideas that came before(06:00) Why spiritualism booms in times of upheaval(07:00) The First World War and the dead who needed to come home(09:00) The haunted house in Grimsby: footsteps, slashes of light, The Man(10:00) The man in a blue suit, as real as you or I(11:00) Skeptical believer: trying to explain it away and never managing(12:00) Ghost stories as functional objects(14:00) Victorian memorial culture and the relationship with the dead that didn’t end(15:00) Helen Duncan: state secret, Witchcraft Act, trial of 1944(17:00) Portsmouth, HMS Barham, and the arrest(19:00) What happened to mediums who pushed too far(20:00) Why mediumship gave Victorian women agency society denied them(22:00) The modern revival: witchcraft, TikTok, the same patterns(24:00) Cold reading: how it works(25:00) The TikTok medium and the unimaginable amount of money(27:00) The same exploitation, different platform(29:00) Facebook privacy settings and pre-built readings(31:00) The sensuality of the séance: smell, sound, darkness(35:00) Still visiting mediums(37:00) What protections should exist for spiritualist believers(39:00) The new book: ectoplasm and the sensory history of the séanceAbout the GuestKate Cherrell has a doctorate in Victorian Gothic and has spent nine years researching séances, mourning culture, and mediumship.

Professor Chris French on ghosts, sleep paralysis, UFOs, and what 35 years of testing the paranormal actually found.Episode OverviewChris French grew up terrified of the dark and believed every second of Uri Geller’s spoon-bending. He is now Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Goldsmiths, founder of their Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit, and one of Britain’s foremost experts on why people believe in things that aren’t there.He spent 35 years in laboratories and haunted buildings, testing ghost hunters and psychics under controlled conditions. In this conversation he explains sleep paralysis, why ancient Greek ghosts mostly just gossiped, the lucid dreamer study that left him discombobulated for several days, and why UFO congressional hearings produced nothing but hearsay.The sleep paralysis section is the most useful thing this show has aired for anyone who has woken up paralysed and terrified. The house-proud mouse is the best argument for not ruling out the mundane. And the question — why do ghosts have clothes? — punctures more assumptions than any data point in the episode.Chapters(00:00) Cold open: skepticism, subjective validation, lucid dreaming(01:00) Intro: from Uri Geller believer to paranormal debunker(02:00) Tell me a story: the lucid dreamer, precognition, discombobulated days(05:00) Iranian rugby team, backgammon, a drawing of our house(06:00) Why coincidences feel impossible to dismiss(07:00) Subjective validation: the mechanism behind every psychic reading(08:00) Lucid dreaming: a genuine phenomenon explained(09:00) What skepticism actually means(10:00) The case for belief: non-believers are more scared of dying(11:00) James’s family ghost stories: pubs, billiard balls, someone on the bed(12:00) Sleep paralysis: terrifying, and there is an explanation(14:00) The spectrum of ghostly experience(15:00) The house-proud mouse(16:00) How ghost stories improve in the retelling(17:00) Urban legends and the friend of a friend(18:00) UFOs: congressional hearings and nothing but hearsay(21:00) How ghost stories have changed across history(22:00) Ancient Greek ghosts: ephemeral and mostly gossiping(23:00) Why do ghosts have clothes?(24:00) What science is actually doing(25:00) Publication bias and the Bem experiment(27:00) Haunted buildings and infrasound(29:00) The God Helmet and magnetic fields(32:00) Uri Geller and the book that changed everything(34:00) Academia: tolerated but not encouraged(36:00) Pattern recognition, false meaning, conspiracy thinking(43:00) Skeptic in the PubAbout the GuestProfessor Chris French is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London, and founder of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit.

David McKelvey on contract killers, corrupt police, and why he believes two men are in prison for murders they did not commit.Episode OverviewIn 2008, David McKelvey was interviewing an informant at Ilford Police Station when the man began describing a contract on three people. McKelvey was one of them. A known contract killer was parked outside with a machine gun at that moment. When he reported it, his own force investigated him instead. He was cleared, the Met apologized in writing, and he used the compensation to start two businesses.He now runs TMI, Britain’s leading private prosecution firm, and My Local Bobby, which operates across 47 central London beats. He also believes Michael Steele and Jack Whomes did not commit the Rettendon murders. He spent five years investigating it, found two significant witnesses, and sent the material to the Criminal Cases Review Commission. They won’t speak to him.This is a conversation about what happens when the institution you served turns against you. The opening story is one of the best this show has had. The Rettendon section is genuinely unsettling. And the 94% drop in pickpocketing in three months on his Leicester Square beat is the most concrete proof of concept in any episode this series.Chapters(00:00) Cold open: contract killer outside the station, machine gun, get Paul off the streets(01:00) Intro: 60 commendations, contract on his life, cleared and compensated(02:00) Tell me a story: the informant, the contract, the call(03:00) How an organized crime gang used Professional Standards against him(04:00) Suicide attempts, apology from the commissioner, years to understand(05:00) The same group, the same tactic, decades of destroying investigating teams(07:00) The police are not going to help you(08:00) Corruption at the highest level(10:00) Why he joined: a nightclub, a beating, a decision the next morning(11:00) Stoke Newington and the minor stuff that matters(12:00) My Local Bobby: 47 beats, Dixon of Dock Green reinvented(13:00) Two minutes to a burglary(14:00) 94% drop in pickpocketing in three months(16:00) Sky documentaries and telling the fuller story(17:00) The Rettendon murders: December 1995(18:00) Leah Betts and why Rettendon was everywhere(19:00) Darren Nicholls and how McKelvey got skin in the game(20:00) Six and a half years later: certain they’re guilty, then certain they’re not(21:00) 124 undisclosed crates and the corruption inquiries behind the case(22:00) Two witnesses and the door that opened(23:00) The CCRC won’t speak to them(24:00) The establishment will cover things up(25:00) Officers who’ve never rolled around with a drunk(27:00) MOJ admits crime will rise from early releases(29:00) Tech, WhatsApp, and how murder convictions are built now(37:00) Kids on electric bikes and what the data misses“If you actually put it into a film, people would say you’ve made it up.

Mobeen Azhar on the BBC's coverage of Palestine, why identity politics gives him the 'ick', and 20 years of stories nobody else would touch.Episode OverviewMobeen Azhar grew up in Huddersfield, the son of a bus driver whose appointment television was Newsnight and The Cook Report. He has spent 20 years at the BBC making documentaries nobody else would commission: Taliban drug raids in Karachi, British ISIS recruits, Johnny Kitagawa’s pop empire, heroin in his own hometown. The last one got him death threats and a BBC studio evacuation at 11pm.He has won a BAFTA, an RTS Award, and a Grierson. In this conversation he says things about the BBC he admits he would not have said 18 months ago: that it bends over backwards for the Daily Mail; that its Palestine coverage has propagated a distorted view of impartiality; and that for the whole of 2024, when a Palestinian appeared on screen, the first question was always the same. He also explains why he sees everything through class rather than identity, and what it means that a documentary he made in Japan changed the country’s laws.Chapters00:00 Cold open: Taliban alarm system, metal bars on a Karachi rooftop01:00 Intro: BAFTA, Grierson, 20 years of stories nobody else would touch02:00 Tell me a story: police raid, arrests, the sound that meant run04:00 Not danger for its own sake: stories that are truly revealing07:00 Huddersfield, a bus driver father, Newsnight at 10:30, Roger Cook10:00 Law degree, no direction, and the penny dropping at university11:00 The school shut down two years after he left: 30 GCSEs in a year group of hundreds12:00 Hometown: heroin, class A importation, death threats13:00 BBC studio evacuated at 11pm after a threat called in14:00 Pakistani, Muslim, gay, Yorkshireman: identity versus class15:00 Everything through the lens of class: one group with power, one without16:00 America, Obama, Trump, and the mask finally slipping17:00 The ICC, Israel, and what America’s anger is really about18:00 Why identity politics misses the point: inequality over representation19:00 The BBC: vision and leadership and what the new DG needs to do21:00 The BBC bending over backwards for the Daily Mail and The Telegraph22:00 Palestine: factual accuracy versus a weird illusion of balance23:00 20,000 children.

Why does "Make America Great Again" beat "Stronger Together"? John Yorke, Mark Borkowski and Misha Glenny on why political slogans work, and why the best ones are really stories.Three StoryCo guests look at political communication through the lens of narrative. They argue that a good slogan tells a complete story in a handful of words, with a clear protagonist, antagonist and goal, and that emotion matters more than argument. The conversation moves from Trump and Starmer to Take Back Control, James Graham's Channel 4 drama Brexit: The Uncivil War, and a film about a referendum campaign in Chile that won by selling hope rather than policy. These are the guests' views.Hear the full StoryCo interviews on the StoryCo feed.

Why can't Britain investigate its own monarchy? Andrew Lownie has spent a decade trying to find out, and what he has uncovered explains why so much stays hidden.Lownie sets out the position of the royal family as he sees it: exempt from freedom of information laws, beyond parliamentary scrutiny, with opaque finances, sealed wills and no register of their business activities. He argues that a culture of deference and secrecy has left the institution exposed to foreign intelligence services and shielded from the questions any other powerful body would face.In this conversation, Lownie explains why he believes the monarchy has lost its moral authority, why the police and the establishment may let the story go quiet, why he does not trust the line that no one is above the law, and how he thinks Parliament and public pressure could close the royal exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act. These are his views and his claims.Hear both of Andrew's full StoryCo interviews on the StoryCo feed.

Four experts, four different reasons not to panic about AI. Dr Julia Shaw argues that the risks we focus on, like "AI psychosis", are vanishingly rare, and that free access to a listening ear at 3am has probably saved more lives than it's harmed. Psychotherapist Kathleen Saxton agrees AI has a role in mental health, but only as a guide toward proper, qualified human help. Film director Mike Figgis isn't worried about AI's creative output: as far as he's concerned, it's about as clever as Hollywood, which isn't saying much. And media commentator Richard Welsh reframes AI entirely, not as something alien, but as our own collective intelligence, repackaged.
