  • Super - not good

    I have been working with a range of Ai tools and have been listening to a range of podcasts and watching some good video tutorials. Not only was this hard to listen to, given the forces laughing and constant use of the word super, to prefix almost everything, there were no take aways, just generic rambling in the margins and absolutely no depth or value. Sorry, but this was just awful.
