As we were talking about AI, we decided to use it to write some show notes too... We gave Chat GPT the episode transcript, and this is what it gave us back: Podcast Show Notes: Episode 210 - The One Where We Talk AI Introduction: Welcome back to our 210th episode. We reflect on the journey since the inception of the podcast, celebrating four or five years of broadcasting our message to the univers...

Nigel wanted to talk about golf... there is a good reason for it

What more can we say?

We put the show title into an ai and let it make some suggestions. This was AFTER we'd recorded the show so we didn't talk about those things, but you might find them useful (unlike most of our show notes). So here they are: If you want change, there are several steps you can take to create a positive impact in your life and in the world around you: Self-reflection: Identify the areas of y...

The verdict is still out on if show descriptions are worth it. I mean, seriously, we could write anything here and would you actually care? Maybe we should put something random or ai generated and test that?

Does anyone actually read these show descriptions? We're not sure... if you do then message us on social media and maybe we'll make them more useful :-)

Did you miss us? It's been a while (sorry) but we are BACK!

200 episodes!!! We actually got here. But where are we going next? Will there even be an episode 201?

What are you going to do different to end this year on a high?

Lost momentum? Ask yourself why you started... or and if anyone knows Ken we'd love to hear from him!

Sorry.. for the first time EVER we missed a week... But we are back :-)

We've been doing this almost 4 years... and yet we've forgotten what episode we are recording!

I guess the alternative title could be grow or die...

Nothing lasts forever. Sometimes we just have to recognise that it is time to quit.
