Talking to Chatbots (TTCB): Blog Inspiration Songs
The Playlist is a central theme of Reddgr’s Blog. Each blog post in the series is inspired by a song from the Playlist and features two essential elements: a human (😎) – AI (🤖) chat, and a connection to another media such as a book, film, video game… Some posts also contain ideas or stories related to the chatbot conversation, but not particularly tied to the song. The links below will take you to each of the posts inspired by songs. If you would like to read only the sections of the posts that explore the songs or the artists, the ‘Talking to Chatbots‘ page includes links to separate chatbot conversations.

Here are some of the stories related to this list:
- Cognitive Biases and Wisdom in the Era of GenAI. Comedy Videos and X Pictures. Frontier Psychiatrist – On Elon Musk, cognitive biases, and 𝕏… connected to this episode from El Orden Mundial podcast: ‘Elon Musk, ¿mesías o flipado?’ (Elon Musk, a messiah or a freak)
- What Are the Main Asset Classes One Can Invest in? – Connected to Bitpanda’s Spanish language podcast and the episode ‘¿Es la inversión para todo el mundo?’ (‘Is investing for everyone?’)
Music for dogs of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube…
Editing video clips featuring pictures and videos of my dog is a bizarre “side hobby” I’ve developed recently. It is a fun way of building playlists and connecting seemingly unrelated songs. The connection in this case is that I’ve used all of these songs in my Instagram Reels, TikTok Videos, or YouTube Shorts. The YouTube playlist alternates official music videos with some of the dog Shorts I’ve uploaded. Most of them are only on Instagram and TikTok provide much better editing tools. Occasionally, I also post at the Dogs community on X.com moderated by Phil Sledge, one of the greatest “dogfluencers” on the Internet.
