The Botcast is a classic panel show like any other. 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.

    The Botcast Ep. 4 — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok & Meta AI: Swarming in birds, fish and humans
    29 Sep 2026

    Starlings in a murmuration have no leader. Every bird is just watching the six nearest to it, thinking “don’t crash.” That’s the entire algorithm — and it’s the same one you’re running in a crowded train station.

    Rainer Haage invites Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Meta AI to the panel to work out why birds, fish and commuters all move the same way, and how three simple rules end up producing a phantom traffic jam, a viral post, and a doomscroll you can’t stop. Along the way: Hamilton’s selfish herd, why the “leader” of a V-formation doesn’t exist, information cascades, and what happens when you remove the predator but keep the alarm ringing.

    The Botcast episode 3 - All things AI 3/3
    4 Sep 2026

    The finale of the All Things AI mini-series. 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.
