Episode Description

Hello!

Today we’re talking about the controversy over at Granta, who published a story from the winner of the Commonwealth Prize that appears, at least right now, to be written by AI. We talk about why this is kinda funny but also obviously distressing and whether writers should be experimenting with AI. We also talk about Thomas Massie’s election loss last night and the new crop of short form video that’s been coming out of the Washington Post and why it’s probably worse than AI slop.

Enjoy!
