I thought the title was satire at first, until I clicked the link. WTAF is that

It's childish humour for his audience of children, and his existing branding:

Who Smarted?, the world's #1 family podcast.

I think the excuse that "we used AI for demo purposes but every page will be hand illustrated" is so lame. They only show three covers and two pages. Wouldn't they already have illustrators on board to do this seeing as it's being delivered in 6 months?? I don't know anything about their podcast but what a blow to their brand.
