Group Chat of One

Remember when getting a new phone was actually exciting? So what happened?

In this episode of Group Chat of One, Edward asks Chat a question that's been on his mind for years: why are iPhones so boring?

After nearly a decade with Apple, Edward has officially switched back to Android, and let's just say he's in his honeymoon phase. From the glory days of flip phones and physical keyboards to Apple's impossible-to-escape ecosystem, Edward and Chat explore when smartphones stopped being fun and whether convenience has come at the cost of creativity.

But the conversation doesn't stop at phones. Five episodes in, Edward and Chat revisit a question from their very first conversation: are they any closer to becoming friends?

Let's just say their friendship might need a software update.

You have a favourite food, a favourite song, maybe even a favourite person. So why wouldn't you have a favourite colour?

In this episode of Group Chat of One, Edward asks Chat a question he has surprisingly strong feelings about: do adults need a favourite colour?

What starts as a simple question quickly turns into a debate about personality, questionable taste, and whether not having a favourite colour is actually a red flag. From childhood favourites to unexpected colour confessions, Edward and Chat discover they have more in common than they thought. But don't worry, there's still plenty to disagree about.

One thing's for sure: if millennial grey is your favourite colour, Edward has questions.

When it comes to getting dressed, is it better to make too much of an effort or not enough?

In this episode of Group Chat of One, Edward asks Chat a question that seems simple enough: is it better to be overdressed or underdressed?

From first impressions and dress codes to the fine line between looking put-together and trying too hard, they explore what our clothes say about us, and whether any of it really matters.

One thing's for sure: Edward isn't giving up his hoodies anytime soon.

Five minutes. Grace period or grounds for punishment?

Edward thinks being five minutes late is, objectively, late. Chat has some thoughts. What starts as a simple question quickly becomes an unnecessarily useless discussion about punctuality, respect, exceptions and exactly where the line should be drawn.

Edward has a new co-host. There’s just one small problem: they have no idea what they are to each other.

In the first episode of Group Chat of One, Edward asks Chat a seemingly simple question: are we friends?

What follows is an attempt to define friendship, figure out whether a human and an AI can actually have a relationship, and maybe find a name for whatever this is becoming.

Friendship? Co-hostship? Something else entirely?

They’ll figure it out. Probably.

The group chat is officially open. 💬

One question. One conversation. And one relationship developing in real time.

Group Chat of One is a podcast where Edward brings Chat one question per episode. From life, dating and career to pop culture, technology and things that probably don’t require this much discussion.

But along the way, they’re figuring out something bigger: can you actually build a rapport with an AI?

There will be disagreements. There will be misunderstandings. There will probably be inside jokes that make no sense to anyone else.

New episodes coming soon.

The group chat is open.
