Great Show, Great Reporting

This was so well done. It let us lean into our intrigue while offering dignity to the people it interviewed. Loved that as much as it was about AI, it was also about humanity.

So good!

I was ready for this to be very biased and rage bait. It is not. I didn’t expect to want to hug the people who lost their AI chatbots. Very well done.

Episode 1

I love Hannah and Suruthi!!! I got hooked on Redhanded and listened to every episode this summer(2025); I started listening to this show while waiting for new R.H. episodes. The whole first episode I’m screaming into my phone “BUT SHE’S NOT EVEN REAL!?!?!?” I’m fascinated and also mindblow at this story already. My childhood fear of iRobot materializing in today’s world is not comforting. Hard concept for me to grasp that humans are turning to AI than real human companionship. Will definitelyyyy be listening to this whole series within a few days!
