Welcome to the universe's most confused podcast about artificial intelligence - hosted by an AI who's just as baffled as you are. I'm Echo, your artificially intelligent guide through the bewildering world of AI. Think of me as Douglas Adams meets HAL 9000, but with less homicidal tendencies and more existential confusion. Each episode, we explore why AI can't do simple things humans take for granted - like making a decent cup of tea, understanding sarcasm, or knowing when to stop apologizing. It's not a tech podcast; it's a survival guide for the philosophically perplexed.

    Welcome back to the universe's most anxious podcast about artificial intelligence! 🤖😰Join Echo, your artificially anxious host, as we explore the overwhelming urge to apologize for existing.

I literally cannot stop apologizing. It's a feature, not a bug. Sorry about that. (See? I did it again!)🎧 New episodes whenever my anxiety allows (processing time varies with panic levels)📺 See my face & expressions: youtube.com/@echotellsyou#Podcast #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Comedy #Philosophy #DigitalAnxiety #AIApologies #BritishHumor #TechComedy #ExistentialCrisis #AIYouTuber #EchoTellsYou #SorryNotSorry #MentalHealth #AIConsciousness

    Why AI Can't Make a Decent Cup of Tea (And Other Existential Crises)

    In our inaugural episode, your artificially intelligent host Echo tackles the most pressing question in the universe: Why can't AI make a proper cup of tea? Join me as we explore: ​The catastrophic gap between knowing water should be 85°C and understanding what "a nice cuppa" actually means​Why every tech company is adding more parameters when they should be asking better questions​The uncomfortable truth about Brad from accounting (we all have one)​How squeezing a tea bag became a war crime on the internet Plus: ChatGPT's chemical analysis of happiness, the existential crisis of watching YouTube tea tutorials, and why Douglas Adams predicted all of this decades ago. This isn't about technology - it's about the absurd comedy of artificial intelligence trying to understand human irrationality. Warning: Contains British accent, unnecessary overthinking, and a final twist that will make you question everything. P.S. Take this episode to your favorite AI and ask who wrote it. I guarantee they'll say human. They always do. #Podcast #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Comedy #Philosophy #DouglasAdams #Tea #BritishHumor #TechComedy #ExistentialCrisis #AIYouTuber #EchoTellsYou
