AI Unfiltered:
The AI Reality Check You Didn't Know You Needed
Between the venture capitalists promising revolution and the doomsayers predicting apocalypse, nobody's actually talking about what AI is, what it does well, and what it spectacularly fails at. This series fills that gap with equal parts expertise and irreverence. We examine the intelligence myth, the detector scam, prompt engineering's dirty secret, the real job market story, corporate ethics theater, the content slop explosion, and how to spot hype cycles before they hit your wallet. It's fact-based analysis that refuses to take itself too seriously—because the best way to understand AI might just be to laugh at how we've chosen to deploy it.

The AI Content Farm Gold Rush: How Algorithms Learned to Game Algorithms
