AI sponsorship. I'm at a loss. Genuinely. What the fuck, guys? Is this a joke?

You should say "no" to the AI ad reads.

I hope the slop ad was a big payout because it's very costly in terms of credibility and viewership.

Incredibly disappointed by the AI ad read. Not only is this selling out, but I'm honestly shocked you aren't apparently aware how transparent this is to the audience YOU helped inform about this issue!!

Shocked by the AI ad. I think Plaud is powered by ChatGPT. You guys have railed repeatedly against "AI" aka LLMs, for multiple good reasons I don't need to go into. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Honestly, just bewildered by the AI ad read. Do you know your audience at all? Have some integrity.

not only is the AI sponsorship terrible as a matter of principle, but none of us use AI tools. what a bad decision, I hope you end it immediately and apologize.
