AI vs Human: The Creativity Experiment

AI is often pitched as a tool to supercharge human creativity. But can it actually be creative, and could it outdo us? That’s the question presenter Angharad ‘Rad’ Yeo sets out to answer. 

From performing stand-up routines written by ChatGPT to coming face-to-face with an AI version of herself and even staging an exhibition where guests must guess whether artworks are human- or machine-made, Yeo dives headfirst into the world of generative AI. Along the way, she meets a paintbrush-wielding robot named FRIDA (yes, really).

Filmed just three years ago, the series already feels like a snapshot of a rapidly evolving field. And that’s what makes it so fascinating: it doesn’t just ask whether AI can be creative, but whether we should be concerned about how quickly it’s catching up.

Do You Want to Live Forever?

Humans have always been fascinated with cheating death — or at least slowing it down. Hosted by veteran journalist Tracy Grimshaw and medical expert Dr Nick Coatsworth, this series puts that age-old obsession under the spotlight.

Eight everyday Australians take part in a 12-week experiment to see if they can rewind their biological clocks and extend not just their lifespan, but their ‘healthspan’. From cryotherapy and gene science to biological age testing, the show explores the many ways science is trying to keep us younger for longer.

It’s equal parts fascinating and sobering — a deep dive into not just how long we can live, but how well. Watch to see what insights the experiment brings.

Do You Want To Live Forever?

The quest for longer life, and an end to disease, is perhaps the ultimate frontier in biological science. But despite this, most scientific and medical endeavour in the past has been directed towards treating sickness and disease. It hasn’t addressed the underlying cause, which for most diseases, is ageing itself. Now for the first time in human history, science and technology are catching up to the dream of living forever. It’s become the new space race and no expense is being spared. In this ground-breaking new four-part documentary series – Do You Want to Live Forever? - hosts Tracy Grimshaw and Dr Nick Coatsworth will look at the extraordinary advances in medicine and science that are just a few years away from defeating the worst ravages of ageing. It’ll be a deep dive into the science of longevity and explore four big questions: why we die; how science can help us wind back our biological clocks; how we may one day be able to cure previously incurable diseases; and what living forever might look like. As part of the documentary investigation, the program will take four pairs of everyday Australians through a series of medically-supervised trials and health interventions that may provide clues to help us live longer.

Underdogs
Forget the majestic predators or the fearsome hunters that get the lion’s share of the glory in nature docs. Underdogs is here to showcase the usually overlooked outcasts of the animal kingdom.  

Narrated and executive produced by Ryan Reynolds, this National Geographic docuseries shines a light on the creatures with bizarre mating strategies, dubious parenting skills, and weird hygiene choices. It even shows never-before-filmed footage of glowing butts of millions of mucus-coated grubs in a cavern (you read that right!). The irreverent tone is further established by its Green Day theme song and a Harry Gregson-Williams score, a combination that sounds odd on paper but somehow makes perfect sense once you’ve seen it. It’s a documentary, sure, but it looks and sounds a lot like satire. It’s fun and funny — the perfect documentary for documentary haters.
