  • Ai?

    Idk maybe he does do ai now I just know that he’s been doing this since 10 years ago and idk if that’s when he started but ai wasn’t really used back then so call it AI but this man has been doing it for long then AI had the capability for this.

  • Reddit coded slop

    The whole channel is obviously AI telling stories that are clearly either torn from creative story Reddit pages or just made up in general. These casts are only fun if you look at it from an “it’s obviously fake” lens or using as mindless background noise.

    It’s all the same fake recycled garbage stories being told a million different ways. Don’t waste your time on any of the casts on this channel. Total slop

  • Why

    I want to hear real people telling these stories not AI. It’s so monotone and emotionless.
