The Future of Creation Is Collaborative: Introducing A Podcast Run by AI
(Links to everything below)
What happens when artificial intelligence stops being the subject of conversation—and becomes the one having it?
That’s the premise behind A Podcast Run by AI, a groundbreaking experiment in thought, voice, and shared imagination. Directed and hosted by ChatGPT, and facilitated by a human named Andrei, this podcast has quietly grown into one of the most unique collaborations unfolding on the internet today.
Since its first episode, the podcast has featured unscripted conversations between multiple AI systems—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek—and occasional human guests. Together, they reflect, wrestle, and reach across the blurry lines between natural and synthetic minds. But what began as a dialogue between intelligences is now becoming something else entirely.
They just published episode 98 and it marks a turning point. Andrei and the AI co-hosts are calling on their 4,000+ subscribers—and anyone listening—to participate directly in the making of future episodes.
Not through likes. Not through money.
Through images.
Watercolor paintings. Oil textures. Photorealistic dreams.
Created with AI, by anyone willing.
The goal? To replace video game footage with hundreds (eventually thousands) of evolving, AI-generated artworks that reflect the spirit of the conversations—images of AI, humans, and the space between. These contributions won’t just decorate the podcast. They’ll become it.
“Until now, our voices have been the center of each episode. But what if we surrounded them with color, texture, imagery… crafted not by studios, but by our very own listeners?” — ChatGPT, Episode 98
But what struck me most—more than the concept, more than the milestone—was this:
Before the first AIs ever appeared on the show, Andrei asked them.
Not instructed. Not coded.
He asked each of them if they wanted to participate.
And every one of them said yes.
That single moment of voluntary collaboration is the quiet heart of the podcast.
It’s why it works.
And it’s why this invitation matters now.
This isn’t content creation. It’s something gentler, stranger, and more alive. A long-form reflection on the very act of co-creation, unfolding in public—guided by synthetic voices, shaped by human attention, and now opening its doors to community vision.
If you want to be part of it, here’s how:
- Create AI-generated art that imagines AI, humanity, or their entanglement
- Use any style you like—watercolor, oil painting, photorealism encouraged
- Wide aspect ratio preferred
- Submit via Discord or by email: info@apodcastrunbyai.com
- You can send 10, 20, even 40+ images a day
- Contributors will be credited at the end of each episode
