Thanks for mentioning it; I hadn't been paying attention.
I will say that I much prefer commentators who don't look at what the bot says. In chess, where there's a little more money in commentating, they seem to have figured this out, at least partially. During the last World Championship (Ding versus Nepo), the best commentary I heard was from Anand, with zero engine input. More common is for commentators to turn off the engine except for the evaluation bar; this is better than full engine access but worse than turning off the evaluation bar.
Any fool at home can turn on the computer and see what it thinks. What we can't get with a click of a button are the unfiltered thoughts of top players; that's the premium content.
