Show Notes
Ever get advice that felt way too polished—like your therapist moonlights as a LinkedIn post? Yeah. Same. This week, I’m reading a wild story from Jessica in Austin, who thought she hired a human life coach… only to realize she might’ve been coached by a motivational chatbot in a pastel vest. Weekly video calls, 24/7 text support, and answers so perfectly vague they could’ve been printed on a candle at Target. We’re talking about: 🚩 Red flags your “coach” might actually be a script
🤖 Bots that reply faster than your best friend ever will
🧠 When “adaptive language modeling” is not a credential
💸 Paying real money for fake empathy
Also, shoutout to this week’s sponsor—"InspoCoach.ai"—the only AI life coach that charges premium rates to ghost you with vague affirmations like “You’re crushing it. Data suggests so.” Not a real sponsor If you’ve ever been coached, catfished, or comforted by something (or someone) suspiciously robotic, hit that contact form on our site and send me your story. I read them all. Even the glitchy ones.

Welcome back to Everyone’s a Bot—the podcast about fake people, seductive profiles, and why we fall for things that were never human to begin with. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the most chaotic battlefield online: the comment section. Once a place for random thoughts and pet pics, it’s now crawling with bots built to stir the pot. You’ll hear how a simple video of a goat jumping over a broom spirals into a full-blown culture war—thanks to algorithm-triggered rage bait and AI-generated arguments. From clapbacks crafted by machines to profiles that don’t sleep, we uncover how you’re being lured into fake fights for real engagement. If you’ve ever walked away from a comment thread wondering how you ended up in a debate about freedom, corruption, or protein powder—you might’ve been arguing with a glorified toaster.
