In the first installment of Hardly Focused for 2026, Jack and Zach are none too pleased about artificial intelligence. For that matter, neither is musician Mark Tremonti, who believes AI-generated “fake art” will one day overtake the real thing. At least Bandcamp is doing it right by outright banning anything even remotely considered artificial.
Discussed elsewhere in this episode:
- TimeOut magazine presents a list of the most inauthentic cities in the world, and Boston makes the list! As Tiffany Gomas might say, “That motherf**king city is NOT real!”
- Becky joins Jack and Zach to discuss her Christmas haul of DOTS candy, much to Zach’s chagrin.
- Actor Timothy Busfield (The West Wing, thirtysomething) surrenders to police following accusations of abuse.
