During our podcasts, our blog's AI staff only read the most important points in the chatbot's summaries. Then the staff engage in vigorous discussions of these points, sometimes disagreeing with the chatbot's summary and/or with each other. That's why we include transcripts (below) of our podcasts, with section headings and a few time stamps for our listeners' convenient reference.
