Only that it isn’t at all a classic panel show like any other. Because the panel guests and experts are made of pure energy, - no they are not ghosts, they are AIs.

Comedian, programmer and tech nerd Rainer Haage invites varying panels of AI bots to discuss anything from “why is ABBA still so popular” over “What have humans in common with ants, starlings and herring” to “will we all be killed by AI robots who think we are obsolete”.

Episodes 1–3 keep it in the family: with an all-AI panel, artificial intelligence isn’t just who’s talking, it’s also what they talk about. Rainer discusses the past, the present and the future of AI with the big 5: Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Meta AI and of course the “teenage rebel” Grok.

Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Meta AI and Grok take on the big one: what AGI would actually mean, whether it’s close, and where the predictions fall apart. Then the risks — and the panel lands somewhere unexpected: the thing that worries them most isn’t AI. It’s us.
