ChatGPT saved my life, and making evil AIs by accident

In episode 40 of the AI Fix, Graham meets a shape-shifting GOAT, a robot dog gets wet, Mark likes Claude 3.7 Sonnet, OpenAI releases its dullest model yet, Grok 3 needs to go home and have a lie down, and everyone loses their minds over two AI agents booking a hotel room using 90s-era modem dial-up sounds.

Graham tells the incredible story of a woman whose life was saved after ChatGPT told her to go to the emergency room, stat! And Mark explains how just a little negativity made GPT-4o bad to the bone.
