À propos de cet audio
This episode is a little different. It's an interview with an A.I. of Sir John A. Macdonald.
So what does that mean? Well, it means that I gathered up the transcripts for all the House of Commons Debates for every year that Macdonald was Prime Minister, and threw in a few other historical resources as well. I processed those and made them available to a large language model, similar to the one that powers ChatGPT. Then I instructed that large language model to answer all of my questions as though it were Sir John A. Macdonald, using those historical resources I provided for reference.
The result is this interview you're about to hear.
If you want to ask John A. Macdonald some questions of your own, you can do so here: sirjohnai.longformnorth.com
All the historical resources I used are listed there as well.
(Note: The idea for this episode was partly inspired by Tyler Cowen who used ChatGPT to record an interview with Jonathan Swift. You can check out that interview here.)
