Bryan and Jeff take a look at the ugly resurrection of The Unofficial Apple Weblog as an AI-generated content farm and the intentional misrepresentation that the writing team includes the staff from before the site shut down in 2015. They also talk about why Apple isn’t joining OpenAI’s board of directors after all, and Bryan shares a Mac app to help writers develop the plot for their stories.
