  • AI instead of Kim and Andrew? No thank you…

    I have been listening to the podcast since it started and part of what made this entertaining was the banter and impromptu organic conversations that came with it. If I really wanted AI to read me the newsletter, I would just plug it in to ChatGPT or another engine, come back to us for real Kim.

    I’m still giving you a strong rating because the content of your newsletters is always fantastic and I can always find something to help my elderly parents or other members of my family, just miss the ... more

  • Thank you Kim!

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now. And I was so happy to hear Riley’s voice! Of course we all want to hear Kim, but if it has to be an AI voice, Riley is great!

  • I hate the AI host, sounds like an ad

    I keep tuning in hoping Kim has reconsidered this choice. It’s so plain vanilla. Actually its plan artificially-flavored vanilla, so even worse. Bring back the actual ppl

  • Love the new AI version

    Hi, Kim. I am a long time listener and a retired technology executive. I just wanted to take a few moments to compliment you and your new AI avatars “George” and “Riley”. The speed, pacing, pronunciation, vocal, inflections, etc. are truly amazing and incredibly human-like. I find listening to “George” and “Riley” is pleasant and engaging. GREAT WORK!!!
