Sir John A.I. Macdonald

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.
