  • Fully AI. Fully annoying

    The episodes are set up as a discussion between two people, but it’s clear that the dialogue is both written and read by AI. Look up videos of Bite actually speaking, and you’ll see how true this is.

    There are millions of literary resources where real people are doing real thinking with real voices. There’s no need for this AI slop.
