AI tips on giving to Charity

 I asked Gemini to write an episode on giving to charity, the result was comically bad.

Podcast Episode: Frugal Philanthropy

Intro

Host: Hey everyone, welcome back to The Frug Life. Today, we're diving into a topic that's near and dear to many people's hearts: frugal philanthropy. It's about giving back to your community and making a difference, even if you're on a tight budget.

• Music: A cheerful outro tune.

For fun, I might make this into an episode of Ricky Rambles. The episode has some issues though, one, the Frug Life generally doesn’t have guests, so it has the format of the show wrong. 

Let's look at tip 2, shop for deals. I don’t think this makes any sense to “look for discounts”.  What is a discounted charity event? In any case, a discounted ticket to an event is just less money going back into the non profit, the same with discounted merchandise.

AI always seems to come up with strange taglines for the show. “Keep frugging?” That isn’t what I say in the show. To me, at least at the time of writing this, AI has gone down a bit in quality. I'm not sure why or what it is doing, but this episode is just bad. Then again, I guess my last episode written by AI for Ricky Rambles was not good either, which is why it was so entertaining. Anyways, at some point I wanted to really cover this topic.  I had some tips in mind, but I think a lot of the services, like Amazon smile have since gone away. I’ll have to rewrite and share it sometime.
