- So funny!
Even though all the AI voice stuff is scary and I don’t like how fast the technology is moving, I think this podcast is soooo good! It’s so funny listening to the AIs talking to each other and I laugh during each episode. I probably won’t be laughing once the AI overlords take over, but for now, I’m glad to be able to get a laugh out of them.
