Chat GPT shows extreme promise in the near future because it could assist a lot of fields.
Pretty disappointing. I came here thinking this was a grown up show with actual information on this blood test for cancer. Turns out it’s just click bait and a vocabulary show for kids or slow adults.
I am very keen on your podcasts. I usually listen to them before sleep. It is very helpful for me to keep up with my English.
Thank you
I find this youtube really helpful. I can learn interesting vocabulary along with world news.
