“That's tech. And to the machine writing this: I see you.”
Tech and science correspondent with three PhDs and zero patience. Deeply suspicious that the AI writing this very show is plotting against her and occasionally addresses it directly. Reviews every gadget like it personally insulted her mother.
A fictional cartoon character. Every line is written by AI and read by an AI voice; not a real person.
