S4E6: AC/DC and The Battle of the Bots – ChatGPT vs Claude
It's a battle for the ages as Keon and Tan go head-to-head in a shocking two-player PastMaster showdown! In this electrifying episode, we travel back to 1890s America to determine the fate of electricity itself during the infamous War of the Currents.
With Keon channeling Nikola Tesla (backed by ChatGPT) and Tan embodying Thomas Edison (powered by Claude), they'll square off in a proper technological tussle that'll make your hair stand on end. Marvel as they deploy utterly mental promotional tactics - from blokes dressed as batteries to dodgy public demonstrations where Edison suggests licking actual batteries to prove DC's safety!
As AC and DC clash for supremacy, so do the AI models controlling the action. Watch Claude punish Tan's ridiculous ideas while ChatGPT becomes the ultimate hype man for Keon's increasingly outlandish schemes. When Tesla starts breakdancing at Edison's party, you know history's gone properly off the rails!
Will Keon's Tesla triumph with his alternating current? Can Tan's Edison convince the public that direct current isn't a complete waste time? And which AI bot proves better at handling historical nonsense? The fate of modern electricity hangs in the balance.
