Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the Eastern Border.

Now recently, I've gotten some concerned questions about the AIUs here on the show,

which I'd like to address first.

First of all, yeah, I like Google search that I can talk to. That's the main thing here.

Now, if I could hire two or some more people to help me out instead, I absolutely would, but I

don't have the resources or the team that some other shows of this structure have.

But I do use it as a tool within limits and strictly for the information gathering and thumbnail making,

and for the ad segment, because I frankly hate the ad segment.

I have troubles basically reading it already.

And that's all.

I have to manually do insane amounts of work anyways, but this allows me to work

with a larger base of sources per day than I would previously, and do the local stuff that's

necessary here around the house. And it's important for me to be transparent about what I use it

for and how I use it for ethical reasons. I do all the writing myself and all the creative

of work involved and make conclusions and everything, and everything that can't be described as a mechanical process to make an episode. The AI helps me with the mechanical parts. Again, it's very important for me to be open and clear about this stuff, because what I use it for just allows me to work with more material and leaves me with more time to actually make the right calls to people and do the original research. And, well, as recently Russians have tried to get me fished,

that means I've been using my brainpower kind of in the right way, I think.

It's assured that what you have, whatever you hear in this show,

is not anything even remotely resembling AI slop.
