Pot pourri of self indulgence not AI doctors

This is a magazine format with three participants and much made of the social media female airing her penultimate episode. Her opinions to the fore in discussing Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg and I could not see the relevance or importance of her opinion being given so much air time. It would be generous to estimate that half the program was devoted to the subjects in the title.
Misleading to put the cancer scare stories alongside the AI doctors as were entirely unrelated and just a rather trite discussion of media coverage of alleged causes of cancer. I could not see the relevance of the topic ( or for that matter Trump, and Zuckerberg's land deal) to a program devoted to new electronic technology and its applications. There was no suggestion of any link with the item discussing AI diagnosis of cancer from image recognition. It would have been much, much more interesting if there had been - although lawsuits may have followed if pointing out that the AI getting it wrong will cause a cancer scare in the misdiagnosed individuals.
