is there some boundary number of times that entirely independent people say "oh that would make a great podcast" about a new project before you have to seriously consider maybe making a podcast?

If we aren't careful with what educational resources we let our kids access we will basically be teaching them a stream of misinformation. So I guess the moral is please do check that materials have a consultant fact checking the subject matter or fact check it yourself before believing the content

And these things will stick. Not every company out there has the resources or integrity to have a professional zoologist fact check their content. So it will make its way into your kids educational books, into their tv shows, into podcasts.

But it isn't just about AI - it's about the enshittification of Google. Because now, when the script writers chuck 'how much does an elephant weigh' or whatever into Google it comes up with garbage AI answers. Sp even not using chat GPT you get chat GPT answers.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.
