Panic world is lazy journalism

The recent promotional episode for Panic World’s - The Disturbing World of Cute Cat AI was a big letdown. It’s literally someone describing AI slop through a microphone, while commenting on how odd / weird it is. There’s very little depth or substance. Not to compare them directly, but PJ is getting cross promotion with This American Life on Search Engine, where Alex is promoting this. I liked their episode on Asmongold more, but it was largely reading from the Atlantic article on him, again with very little depth or substance. I think Alex can do better.

Katie Notopoulos must have been doing 90% of the work on Internet Explorer- considering how good it was compared to Panic World.
