Put together an ad for a signing at Sweets Of Grace a couple weeks ago and Meta's AI decided to design new versions of the ad for me. They even redesigned my book covers in the first and last versions. Thanks, Meta AI!* *sarcasm. Fuck AI.

Four shitty ads Meta AI designed for me, each shittier than the last.

I've had a weird cough for going on two weeks now and lose my breath if I talk too much. Fortunately, I recorded this episode before all that, so you can hear me prattle on wheeze-free!
