<p>Published 11 August 2025</p>
<p>e524 with Andy and Michael M &#8211; stories about AI generated goodnight stories, Med-Gemini, GPT-5, skeuomorphism, scrobbling, seeing through doors and a whole lot more.</p>
<p>Andy and Michael M get things rolling while Michael R is away with some Google Gemini generated goodnight stories.&nbsp; Andy generates a story about a 3D printer that prints a new red car in just a few moments.&nbsp; Aside from a few inconsistencies, it’s actually a pretty good story and images.&nbsp; After an example of Med-Gemini hallucinating a non-existent body part, the team virtually goes to Versailles to interact with the statues via AI.&nbsp; Speaking with the statues reminded Michael of speaking with the plants at the Chelsea Flower Show discussed in e488.&nbsp; Andy shares insights on GPT-5.</p>
<p>Then, the team turns to skeuomorphism with the Macrowave app as a prime example.&nbsp; This leads to a small segue to scrobbling with Last.FM.&nbsp; Andy and Michael wrap up this episode with the Eufy FamiLock S3 Max that allow you to “look through” your door and see who is on the other side.</p>
<p>What skeumorphistic elements are your most and least favorite?&nbsp; Have your bots 🤖 drop our bots 🤖 a line at @gamesatwork_biz@mastodon.social (our home for now) and let us know!&nbsp;</p>
<p>These show notes were lovingly hand crafted by a real human, and not by a bot.&nbsp; All rights reserved.&nbsp; That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.</p>
