All Aboard The Glambulance!

Okay.

Yeah.

I wanted to just start by talking about, um, truly the scourge of my industry, uh-

Mm-hmm

... which is AI, of course, and that also that-

Yeah

... we learned this month what we all already knew, really, which is that major publications are writing articles with AI, uh-

So many

...

instead of real writers, even though they have real writers on staff.

Mm-hmm.

Um, of course, I'm talking about Marie Claire Australia went viral, I think just this week, actually, that we're recording this.

Yeah.

Um, and basically, they, they published a story about the new Odyssey movie, and they forgot to delete the AI prompt at the end, [laughs] and someone screenshotted it, and it, and it went around.

Um, so the AI prompt at the end of the article said, "This version feels a little tighter and more magazine style," and, quote-

[laughs]

Yeah

...

Okay.
