The AI Chatbot Drag Race
The AI Chatbot Drag Race is an immersive, experimental comedy podcast by Kiril Traykov in which six popular AI large language models are asked to build a drag persona using four personality traits: charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent, and enter a drag competition modeled after RuPaul's Drag Race. The podcast explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, drag culture, large language model creativity, and Responsible AI principles.
The podcast consists of 8 episodes in which the first one is a short introduction by the creator, followed by episodes that have a “main-stage performance” followed by a short Q&A discourse to recap the events and offer insights on the behavior of the AI chatbots. The entire runtime is 2 hours and 10 minutes, the typical length of a movie nowadays, to allow for the plot to unravel with character depth and intriguing twists. Expect lots of light-hearted comedy, spicy competition, and a jolly good time!
The podcast has its own dedicated website with more info and resources at https://dragracewithai.netlify.app
