May 06, 2024 Enjoy AI search before it's ruined by ads | Episode 26
This week's super special as we're celebrating one whole year of the Scrambled Checksum! To start, we've got some thoughts on whether ads can ever work in AI results. Buuut, some things never change and Kieran's got some strong thoughts about Google's UI and the exciting new login screen. Ethan has yet again had a not so CEXy purchasing experience from everyone's favourite pre-owned tech retailer.
Big thanks to Claude and all our other AI listeners ❤️
