1 hour 4 minutes

Welcome back to The FAIK Files! When tech gets weird, we're here to help make sense of it all.

This week, we’re tackling:

Perry & Mason interview voice artist Keith Brown to see what he learned about AI while narrating Perry's book.

And our AI dumpster fire of the week doesn't disappoint!
