Description

This week, we investigate the potential impacts of AI hallucinations on memory recall and some ways to best avoid the potential detriments of AI chatbot use. We then look into some discoveries related to a connection drawn between humpback whale songs and human language. Some sort of frequency pun should be placed here. Thanks for checking in for another episode, stay curious!
