  • The AI Scripts are Unbearable

    Used to be one of my favorite podcasts, but they either use AI exclusively to write their scripts and then don’t edit it, or have adopted AI speech to an excruciating degree. All new episodes have a ridiculous amount of comparative statements… “its not just x, its y”, “not only this, its that”, over and over and over and over
