Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Surprise—It's Not a Toaster, hosts Ed Bennett and Chris Boyer dive into the messy world of social media content moderation (or lack thereof).

And as the cherry on top? They put ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude in the hot seat to see if GenAI can save us all from the chaos. Tune in for insights and some AI-powered solutions—or not!
