      We’re already dealing with the problem of half the (US) population only believing things when they align with their political views and now on can’t even Google something and be sure that the entire first page of results isn’t SEO AI hallucinated misinformation.

        I support a law that all AI voices must use the Dr. Sbaitso voice. Imagine the impressive inefficiency of training an AI voice with the output from a 1980’s? Sound blaster.
