Why AI is an AWFUL writer and LinkedIn's outrageous land grab

In episode 17 of The AI Fix, our hosts meet the worst newsreaders in the world, Graham learns about Big Trak and is shocked by a food delivery robot, Mark explains why he won't be dressing as a pirate, ChatGPT angelically removes a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR, and everyone thinks they've got Ebola.

Graham explains how his career in fashion came to an end, LinkedIn morphs into a feather-duster-wielding polyphase avatron with an insatiable appetite for B2B sales, and Mark delves into the intricate tapestry of terrible AI writing.
