In this week's episode we chat to Josh Thorpe about whether LLMs can ever truly be funny, the future of AI and education, and how AI may be better thought of as an environment rather than a tool.

Thorpe is the author of AI for Students, a comic-style book that shows how to use gen AI to think more, not less, in education.
