The recent episode about the AI written card…I’ve been a subscriber and listener for years and years. I’ve seen Jared live multiple times. But more and more I keep hearing ChatGPT and AI mentioned throughout the episodes. And to just casually discuss something that is a very real threat to humanity makes me cringe every time.

Both hosts have lost touch with reality in so many ways
Is anybody else annoyed by the PERSISTENT constant affected use of the words “wonderful” and “lovely” by these 2? Can we just speak normally pls?????
I guess you can only write one review for one podcast.. gotta delete my other very high rating but I REALLY liked this episode from sept 9. Idk why I’m surprised every time they have a super nuanced, open, honest dialogue where they aren’t afraid to disagree w each other/the writer, but this one stood out!

I also love the idea that scaring away a date shouldn’t be such a fear... more
I've been a subscriber for many years. I don’t necessarily listen for the advice, but both the hosts and the people who write in are really relatable and often very funny.... I’m also just incredibly nosy about other people’s dating lives, so it’s always kept me entertained.
That said, I might have to cancel my subscription because Jared’s compulsive and shameless self-promotion is getting a bit much. Between the book, the special and everything else going on in his career, the first 20–30 minu... more
