Ten Minutes of Truth

Guaranteed Human? AI Panic & Human Error | Ten Minute of Truth #71


Listen Later

You’ll walk away laughing, but also understanding why teenagers think the news media is about as trustworthy as a Craigslist used car listing.

 

iHeartMedia has now declared itself “Guaranteed Human.” And yes, that is an actual slogan — not the label on a gluten-free snack. Steve and Bob dive into the brave new world where radio DJs are either real humans making $9 an hour, or AI robots pretending to care about Lady Gaga intros. It’s a hilarious breakdown of how legacy media keeps insisting it’s authentic… while also quietly replacing Chad in the booth with a microchip.

 

But then things go off the rails — the media loses its mind over a typo at a Trump cabinet meeting. One extra “S” in the word “Secretary,” and suddenly headlines scream NAZI SIGNAL! DROWSY PEOPLE! SOMEONE DOODLED!.

 

Our hosts unpack how a bored intern with WordPad became the center of a national panic — and why this circus is exactly why Gen Z trusts the media less than gas station sushi.

 

Finally, Steve and Bob explore whether journalism is even journalism anymore — or if YouTubers, podcasters and independent creators are the only real reporters left.
