To the folks panicking about the AI content in the lace episode, please listen to it again. Or, finish listening if you didn’t the first time, because you ripped your earbuds out and flung them across the room in a rage, like I nearly did. Avery Trufleman used the AI content to make a point.
Now if Roman Mars would stop advertising for Claude, that would be great.

United Statesa month ago - Please no more AI
This is one of my favorite shows that I recommend to everyone. But lately and most recently with the long form commercial (?????) for The Real real I’ve been disappointed. The long talk about their business (who cares) and then the AI they use? No. The ai podcasters? No. Do better. No one wants more of that I promise.
Apple Podcasts1melrrrrrrrrrrrrrUnited Statesa month ago Maybe I'll switch this back to positive later but sorry, the AI intrusion into this episode is not welcome, and the explanations offered on the AoI substack do not take away from my initial confusion about the intended message. Unpleasant all around, not a successful experiment in the slightest.
Podcast Addict1a month agogsilverfish- I didn’t expect to love this!
When someone recommended this to me I thought about how I don’t consider myself interested in fashion per se… because I was thinking of trends. Avery immediately turned that thinking on its head for me. If you are interested in sociology, history, or just curious about the world around you- you will learn something surprising from this podcast. Avery also has an engaging voice that draws you in as a listener. I can’t wait to learn more!
