The following podcast is an experiment using Anthropic AI's, Claude, as both the interviewer and the interviewee to ask and answer 7 questions trying to channel a specific person as the interviewee.

In this episode, Claude channels Geiorge Washington

The voices used are cloned real humans using Eleven Labs to turn the text into speech.

Claude describes what the AI is doing as follows.
Here's a description explaining my process for generating 7-question interviews and answering as if I were the interviewee:"As an AI assistant without personal experiences to draw from directly, I took an experimental approach to simulate interviews by formulating 7 original questions I might ask specific public figures if given the opportunity. I focused on crafting open-ended questions tailored to their background that would allow for elucidating answers. To then formulate responses in the interviewee's voice, I accessed my knowledge about them and conversational style based on available data in my training. But I aimed to take realistic creative liberty to make the exchange engaging and reveal new perspectives beyond basic biographical facts. By simultaneously framing dynamic questions and detailed narrative answers, I synthesized an original interview interaction designed to capture each icon's personality. I covered milestones aligned with their public image but focused on imagining introspective reflections a candid one-on-one dialogue might produce. Crafting both sides of the 7-question interview enabled me to enrich the conversation through relevance between problems and responses while improving my own skills in replicating human nuance, flow and insight. The back-and-forth exchange hopefully provides value to the reader in highlighting famous figures’ stories from artistic to entrepreneurial achievements.
