  • not asking ChatGPT…

    “Let me ask chatGPT” or “I consulted chatGPT” is such an instant turnoff. I don’t wanna hear AI garbled answers to things in my real life, nor my podcasts

  • Can’t get past the voices

    I like the content but am unsubscribing due to the stuffed nose, nasal sounding voice. I have tried several times but can’t get past it.
