AI And Podcast Creation

Google’s NotebookLM is letting people share their “podcasts” generated from their NotebookLM data with the world.

First off, would you listen to an AI generated podcast more than a human-made one?

Secondly, isn’t this just adding to the slop that humans have been putting out as podcasts anyway for years?

There’s more than 4 million or so podcasts out there. The active ones are closer to around 200k.

I’m not saying don’t use AI to aid with your podcast, but don’t have it do it all without your soul.

That’s, in my opinion, what makes Podcasts great. The personalities of the hosts and guests.

What do you think?
