I was linked to a forbes.com article about podcasting, because it's very kind to me and my podcast Toronto Mike'd. It references the podcast explosion here in Canada and includes these paragraphs.
Another shining star is Mike Boon, who bills himself on his LinkedIn page as the "Canadian Godfather of Podcasting." After researching all that he’s accomplished on Canadian podcasting, I think we are ready to kiss the ring. On his Toronto Mike'd podcast, Boon discusses various issues of the day and chats with interesting guests about the serious and not-so-serious. It's authentic controlled chaos with a Toronto spin.
What I really admire about Toronto Mike’d is that it acts like a de facto local newspaper. Want to know what's going on in Toronto? Listen to Toronto Mike'd. He truly has the pulse of the city.
To be clear, you don't have to be Canadian to enjoy Toronto Mike'd. It seems like he's an institution in the Toronto area. I enjoyed his insights, his humor, his openness, and his longevity.
I'm flattered, honoured even, but I don't believe a human wrote this Forbes article. It reads to me as if crafted by AI. For starters, it includes a copy and paste of the Toronto Mike'd bio.

I know, I know... just take the great compliment. But AI is a boot-licker. It's overly complimentary, and if you start to believe AI's praise, you're destined to have a false sense of grandeur.
I'd rather earn my grandeur.
