Mr Blobby tries to Save the Titanic

Friend of the show Ian Walker joins Tan to pit four AI large language models against each other and see which makes the best Game Master.   The setting? It couldn’t be grander or have higher stakes: on board the Titanic on its doomed maiden voyage to the US in 1912.   Can Ian avert disaster and prevent the ocean liner hitting ice and dragging 1,500 to their deaths? Will his performance as 90s TV phenomenon Mr Blobby win over the crew and passengers or will he get thrown in the brig?   And which of the four competing AI models will create the best gaming experience? Will it be good old ChatGPT, cheeky Claude, Google’s Gemini or Chinese upstart DeepSeek?   All will be revealed.   Contains: Mild language, historical anachronisms, a lack of realism and copious accents.
