Divorce by coffee grounds, and why AI robots need your brain

In episode 51 of The AI Fix, a Greek man's marriage is destroyed after ChatGPT reads his coffee, a woman dumps her husband to marry an AI called Leo, and Graham wonders whether it's time to upload his brain into a lunchbox-packing robot.

Meanwhile, a humanoid robot goes full Michael Crawford in a Chinese factory, the UK government launches an AI to read angry public consultations, and Mark dreams of a world where robots finally have common sense - and swear like sailors.

Plus Graham uncovers how AI is wrecking relationships and inventing soulmates, and Mark explains why Google's Gemini-powered bots might be smarter, more dexterous, and more emotionally stable than most of your exes.
