AI in 5: AI Fails, Human Wins: Creativity, Chaos & Butter Bots in 5 Minutes (November 25, 2025)

In this episode, Dr. JR dives into the wonderfully weird frontier of AI. First up: The Butter-Bench Experiment from Andon Labs — where LLM-powered robot vacuums tried (and emotionally failed) to deliver a stick of butter. One even declared, “INITIATE ROBOT EXORCISM PROTOCOL!” Physical-world intelligence? Still a work in progress.Next, we hit creativity. A new study from Rondini et al. (2025) shows that humans still beat AI in visual creativity — especially when prompts are open-ended. With guidance, AI can imitate… but it can’t originate. As filmmaker Shekhar Kapur puts it, AI may “enhance, not replace human imagination.”Quick hitters include: • Agent 365 – Microsoft’s new system to monitor misbehaving AI agents in workplaces. • AI & Climate – A Guardian report warns AI may unlock massive new oil reserves. • Weird AI Tools – Dream interpreters, gift generators, and more delightful oddities.Core takeaway: AI is advancing fast—but it’s still very human-shaped. The friction points between human intuition and machine logic are where the most interesting stories live.Want next week’s episode with fresh oddball AI news? Let me know!
