This is episode 177 (The Arrogant Coffee-Machine) of Celebrate Poe.
Unlike the more recent podcasts of Celebrate Poe (or AI Poetalk,) George does not use ChatGPT to “communicate” with the persona of Edgar Allan Poe, but uses Microsoft Bing  - to very disappointing results.   It is interesting to compare the user-friendly, knowledgeable style of ChatGPT to the “arrogant” and “user-unfriendly” output from Bing.  So listen to this episode for a gradually frustrating (but very informative) experience regarding Poe.
