- The hosts show how citation loops and non-peer-reviewed archives give illusion of credibility to broad, unsupported theories.
AI Amplifies Surface-Level Expertise
- ChatGPT and short online courses can amplify superficial expertise when users lack foundational training.
- Richa warns AI supplements work only if you already understand the field's inner workings; otherwise it enables confident but shallow claims.

- Chawda frames modern controversies (Epstein files) as 'negative PR' and ties them back to ancient Babylonian conspiracies without naming sources.
- The hosts highlight the absence of names, dates, or verifiable evidence in that narrative.
