Reception

According to the Dave website (whose editors quite openly asked for public opinion of the show) and respective message board for the programme itself, public opinion is mixed, with most contributors giving negative feedback on the show.

The show was named "The Worst British TV Panel Show / Satire 2007" in The Comedy.co.uk Awards.[2]

gollark: Can you not have a *sophont* paperclip maximizer in this universe then?
gollark: Are you just meant to act *as if* they are? Because that doesn't sound very... accurate to reality.
gollark: I remember reading about the AI box thing, but I don't know how it's meant to actually work as an experiment, given that the people are presumably aware that the other person is *not* a superintelligent AI and cannot do much to them.
gollark: Or do you mean they wouldn't be *obviously* perversions?
gollark: What? You can totally have "rational" in the sense of "really good at achieving its goals" or something, and still have goals very misaligned with what people want.
