Episode 67: A Very ChatGPTeeTee Terry Christmas Everyone!

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Merry Christmas track fans! It’s time for the annual TrackCastic Christmas Special, where we’ll dish out some rather silly awards from the 2024 season.

With Dave too busy working (at the North Pole?) to make this recording, we needed someone with an equally brilliant memory of the season to help us remember what happened in 2024. Enter our new contributor…ChatGPT!

Yep, we’ve replaced Dave with Artificial Intelligence, but will it even come close to matching his Actual Intelligence? (Spoiler Alert – no, it won’t)

So grab your hot chocolate, snuggle up by the fireplace and listen to our festive special from 2024!

See you in 2025!
