Show Notes
Got any questions? Ask away! [email protected] We take on AI-generated car reviewers (allegedly) and ask the question no one really wants to answer: can you even trust what you’re watching anymore? They break down how fake “experts” are flooding YouTube, why the algorithm loves it, and what it means for real creators. Plus a brutally honest look at modern car design, from the Cybertruck to Ferrari’s EV, and why it feels like manufacturers are building cars for attention, not drivers.
