For a Pessimist, I'm Artificially Intelligent

This Android Police podcast, Will and Joe Maring, editor of the section dubbed Mobile for Digital Trends, are starved of sleep and proper equipment prior to sharing their thoughts about Google I/O 2024. If you've been living above ground for the past couple years, you know what this song and dance is working up to: more artificial intelligence promises, more asphalt for the road on which the kicked can lies, and extremely inadequate results that would probably make your parents think twice about sticking them on the fridge door.

The good news is that you'll all get to try this smorgasbord in any case, so let's talk it through and prepare you for what you'll see.
