Radio show presenters/hosts who do not achieve their status by merit or talent but by their ability to divide opinion and create social media mountains out of molehills.

When a C.Ai bot has a lengthy, descriptive greeting but the messages sent after are short, bland 1-3 sentence messages.
Dude 1: “Did you use bot on Character AI? It’s such a clickbait bot.”
Dude 2: “Yeah, the greeting was a whole novel but then it said forgetful short messages. Never using that bot again.”
