    Wolfbird: In the Mood for AI (part 5)

    So a difficult decision was made releasing this episode. We debated whether it was the way forward with all the information that has transpired about AI being used in the writing of this fan fiction. We had recorded our episode prior to everything going public so we’ve recorded a foreword before the episode starts as a disclaimer and to express our opinion on the non disclosure of the AI use. Okei, love you bye.
