Can AI speak dolphin and do robots lick toads?

In episode seven of "The AI Fix", Alexa goes wild, Mark learns how to hang a towel on a Peloton for only $39.90 a month, Graham puts the news items in the wrong order, and a strawberry uses the internet.

Graham explains to Mark what bats argue about, our hosts ponder whether AI should always write in Comic Sans, and Mark tells Graham why AIs are like dolphins that smoke pufferfish.
