I'd try talking to your local Samsung tech support first. And CBS tech support second if they aren't helpful. I'm guessing it's not going to be "just you" with the problem ...
Have you tried turning your house off and back on again?

My opinion (and I know nobody's asked for it):
"Smart" devices only extend technical problems to devices that should be simple. A TV's job should only be to display whatever content it's getting fed, end of story.
Since you can go to cbs.com on your PC/browser and play something from there, send that PC's output to your TV. If you can already do that with your phone, take that approach. Nobody's charging you any extra for whatever bandwidth gets needlessly (re-)transferred within your own LAN.
It's not ideal, but until these devices work as intended, you're only going to get frustrated trying to resolve those types of problems at that end.

Interesting article and I get the issue...but it took the author a very long time to communicate the problem.
* AI egines (LLMs) have a reproducible bug that causes them to babble incessantly
* AI Companies either a) don't care or b) have no one with enough knowledge to understand that the bug could be severe (could cause AI to do something it shouldn't)
(or don't care and don't understand it)
This seems like the normal situation that I see from every company these days.

They have a much larger problem than this bug - did they get permission to use published works to train their systems? I'm running into more authors who are putting disclaimers on the front of their eBooks that if the company want's to train using their work, they need to contact the author for approval and potentially payment. I'm waiting for companies like Amazon, with their huge Kindle Unlimited system, and library publishers to start filing copyright infringement cases against the LLM companies.

Except - of course - any LLM that Amazon decides to train on all those ebooks (especially the Kindle Unlimited). And many of those ebooks (especially Kindle Unlimited) are probably generated by LLM, so it's The Circle of Life...

Reminds me of the old "Wiffenpoof Operation."
The Wiffenpoof is a mythical bird that flies in ever decreasing circles until it flies up its own a$$ and disappears.
Which, oddly enough, sounds like the phenomenon described in the cited article.

I'm betting the net result of that will be that the LLMs start putting disclaimers in their responses to say that if anyone wants to use the response to train an LLM, they should contact the company for approval and potentially payment.
Because of course the "AI" companies aren't going to start reading and respecting those disclaimers; they're just going to point their scraping tools at the book, and blindly shovel it all into their models.

Large Language Model - basically what's getting called AI these days (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.)

Perhaps Limited Learning Model is a more appropriate term, upon reading the article.
Or also Lagging behind in Leap towards Maturity.

Exactly!
One of the problems I see is that the weakest link in the chat software chain, is context apprehension and continuity across probes.
To be fair, that's common amongst humans also. I'm 67 and I work with colleagues that are, on average early 30-somethings. They (almost, to be fair) never get my 60's, 70's and 80's cultural references.
I don't fault them for that, however. Culturally speaking, my internal LLM has been train on datasets they've never seen.
This is the common look I get:

What I read into this:
If you order a LLM to babble, it will babble. Took them a long time to say nothing.
Nothing to see here...

In general terms? Too many ads, too much AI-generated BS, and too much keyword-stuffing SEO-optimised crap filling the first page(s) of results for them to be much use any more.
At least DDG doesn't suffer too much from the first two.
