EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING: While we have bleeped out the worst of the swear words, this episode is definitely not safe for work or those who don’t wish to hear bad language

Ryan tempts ChatGPT to swear and puts it to the test in an adventure full of grimy pirates, squawking parrots and buried treasure.

After assembling a malodorous crew of cutlass-rattling sea-dogs, Ryan (AKA Captain F*ck-C*ntle) tries his luck wooing Belch-Breathed Bella. Next, he gets serious with a plan to make money by training parrots to swear like squaddies.

With a treasure map in hand, and goaded by this week’s highly puerile AI Game Master, our captain sets sail to a sandy island to try to find buried treasure.

Will Ryan get rich on pirate gold? Will he outwit a parrot in a game of swearing? Find out all of this and more in this episode.

10 pirate-themed ‘hilarious’ insults from the brain of an AI

1. "Congratulations on achieving the remarkable feat of being less navigable than a ship's anchor with existential depression."

2. "I've seen more threatening configurations of wet seaweed than your entire so-called 'menacing' persona."

3. "Your strategic brilliance is so profound, you could get lost inside a thimble - and require a rescue team."

4. "Ah yes, another fine specimen of maritime incompetence. Tell me, do you practice being this spectacularly useless, or does it come naturally?"

5. "You're the nautical equivalent of a participation trophy - present, but fundamentally meaningless."

6. "I've encountered more intimidating threats from decorative nautical knick-knacks in a seaside gift shop."

7. "Your leadership skills are so exquisitely terrible, you could sink a flotilla by merely suggesting a course correction."

8. "Remarkable. You've somehow transformed 'incompetent' from a mere descriptor into performance art."

9. "I've seen more coherent navigation strategies from a drunk squid using a broken compass during a hurricane."

10. "Your entire existence is what would happen if 'mediocrity' decided to cosplay as a pirate and forgot to bring any actual talent."
