It's less debunking than presenting and examining various guru-like people, especially galaxy brains with revolutionary ideas, and discussing the guru-ness of their personas and the validity of these ideas. Or sometimes it's just famous people that are only kind of guru-y, like Sam Harris or Oprah Winfrey. The decoding part is more about figuring out what the people and the ideas actually are, but the gentle mockery that goes along with it is I guess a feature of the hosts being Irish and Australian, respectively.
I personally enjoy long form content and listen to it in parts, if I'm busy, but I can definitely see how it would be daunting to even give it a try.

I've noticed lately that some of my coworker's emails have gotten excessively polite and very sterile. My suspicion is that they have been running their responses through ChatGPT. I've gotten bored with it a bit but maybe I'll run my emails through the system and see if they start to resemble my all my coworker's emails. I think that it's noticeable because ChatGTP doesn't really change it's style or voice unless you instruct it to.

Have your Bot call my Bot and they can do lunch.
One of the issues around AI is we confuse and conflate the term with simulated humans, cybernetics, cyborgs and with autonomous artificial beings.
The Phil Dickian question isn't which nightmare/utopian scenario plays out, it is what really makes us human and whether we will recognize a sentient, self-willed construct when it arises.
Perhaps the real Turing test isn't whether we will mistake a computer for a human being, but whether an artificial being can recognize itself as a machine.

Pfff, humans ascribe sentience to their pet rocks.

My biggest issue with the current AI or any AI is that it has so many flaws that it cannot be trusted all that much. When you get down to very detailed questions about things like grammar, history and social things ChatGTP struggles. In fact ChatGTP will outright lie to you because it is a people pleaser. That being said I used it the other day to help write a dating app profile for myself keeping it within the 500 character limit. So far no results but the dating scene at 51 is not great to begin with.

They've dumbed down ChatGPT. I used to provide it example texts, and asked it to write something in the same style, but on a different topic, which it would do flawlessly. Now it just gives me something bland and generic. I imagine it's some kind of copyright measure?
It even ignores certain requests. I asked it to write a non-rhyming poem, and it spits out something with rhymes.
I wanted to try Google Bard as an alternative, but the government banned it here temporarily, and my VPN can't circumvent it.
Someone needs to come out with a completely unfiltered, uncensored version of these chatbots

LLMs are always changing based on how their weights and parameters are being reinforced through every interaction. Stuff isn't going to be consistently great in the early days - and make no mistake, it's still early days.
If you want what you're asking for, which is unfiltered access to the abhorrent edgy bullshit that they've crawled the internet for and biased the model towards, (

Thing is, it was better in the very beginning, especially on emulating texts that you fed it. It's not even about getting it to create edgy content. If I ask it to create a Shakespearean play about social media (and feed it some original Shakespeare), that's exactly what it would do before

I'm not sure that's correct, at least right now. I just got it to do exactly that, confusion over Henry IV or V being the source text aside. Though obviously the metre is variable (not that I've really checked the scansion).

There's is definitely room for improvement in the world of AI chat.
