  • I’ve lost all trust. Dumb or dumber?

    I’m pretty sure this podcast is completely AI. They said an asteroid is named the same name as a president. However that is so incorrect. Either you’re super dumb or you’re intentionally trying to bring political beliefs into your message. Either way, I don’t trust you at this point.

  • Used to be Better

    The content itself is fun/educational, and it’s nice to stay up to date on non-depressing news. However, the hosts come across as AI trying to read in a human voice/inflection. Many times there are mispronunciations of fairly common words, and some phrases are repeated right after they were said. It gets a little old to hear semi-academic content from hosts who seem to have little to no academic knowledge.
