If Kadabra and Alakazam bend metal spoons with their psychic powers all the time... why do steel type Pokémon resist psychic attacks? Can I explain this steel type resistance eloquently? This may be the start of a series explaining Pokémon type advantages! Depends on how interested folks are in this video.

Given the robotic-brain segment of this video, I thought it'd be interesting to try writing this video a bit like a robotic Steel type Pokemon — so kinda like generic AI. Hence a lot more 'humorous' metaphors and the end of each point. and "its not just X, its Y!" and 'self-referential' bits, like mentioning ai and data centers a few times. I even tried using M-dashes! — I still don't understand them. Figured I should mention this before claims of the entire thing being written by AI pop up.
