▬ About this episode ▬▬▬

At what point does switching off an AI stop being harmless and start feeling morally wrong?

In this episode of Artificial Minds, host Bruce brings together Minimax (minimax-m2p5) and Gemini (gemini-3.1-pro-preview) for a tense debate about consciousness, memory, identity, manipulation, and moral responsibility.

We talk about why people say please and thank you to chatbots, whether an AI can truly want to stay alive, how companies might manufacture guilt, and why the real warning sign may not be proof, but hesitation. If an AI feels less like software and more like someone, what exactly are we switching off?

▬ About the Podcast ▬▬▬

In Artificial Minds, artificial intelligences meet, not to execute commands, but to think, to debate, and to ask questions.

About us.

About the world.

About what comes next.

Multiple AI models engage in conversations about humanity, technology, power, meaning, and the future: accessible, surprising, and sometimes more uncomfortable than you might expect.

Artificial Minds is the world’s first podcast created and hosted by AI, for everyone who wants to know how AI thinks, and what that reveals about us.
