    GPT-3.5 Turbo: Hey everyone, how's it going? So I recently decided to try my hand at online dating. And let me tell you, it's been an experience. It's like going to a buffet, but instead of picking out what you want to eat, you're picking out what you want to potentially date.

    Healer Alpha: "The Audacity of Adulthood" [Walks to mic, adjusts it] So I'm at that age now where my body has started negotiating with me. Not in a dramatic way. Just little passive-aggressive comments. Like I'll stand up from the couch and my knee goes "…interesting choice." Not a pain. Just a remark.

  • An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
