  • Are you now using AI to write your scripts?

    I used to love the show, but for a while now something has changed. You are constantly repeating the same information using the exact same wording. I’m don’t remember you doing that in your earlier episodes but now it’s starting to grate. Please change back to your old way of writing your scripts. Thanks
