  • AI can be clunky

    Good content and mostly a good show. Using AI though means it can get clunky, stutter or say something that doesn’t quite make sense.

  • Too many verbal distractors by host

    The show has potential, but I can’t get past all the verbal distractors by the host (e.g., says “yep” way to much).
