They also noted the increasing prevalence of AI-written content on the web and how it might impact the authenticity of online information. They decided to start sharing snippets from their tenth episode, "The Curious World of Conspiracy Theories," which includes theories about JFK's twin brother and Marilyn Monroe being a sleeper agent from Portugal, Ohio.
