Lemme tell ya what day it is
I guess it’s the tech bro conception of being creative.
It’s truly amazing how mind-numbingly stupid people will act if you offer them one simple thing - convenience.
The future will get very strange. Some guys will prefer the company of their AI sexbot to anybody or anything else.
I’d never listen to a typical by-the-numbers podcast. I think it’s sad that anybody does. But some people like the worst slop. It’s reality tv without the visuals. But I’m having a hard time trying to imagine anybody listening to an AI podcast. It’s not reality tv or reality. It’s an sour uncanny valley of humanish slop. If a typical podcast is junk food - an AI podcast is like the steak in “The Fly”. Why would anybody choose to consume that?
“Hey!”
“Hey!”
“You ready to talk about the 14 words to-day?”
“The 14 words??? Hit me. As I like to say kay-know no-ledge is power!”
“Some people don’t like 'em and say theeeeeeeere racist. Let’s dig in.”
“In the end, it’s actually a story about teamwork, making the dream work.”
Google isn’t making things up when it says the AI hosts will “banter” with each other, either. When trying out Audio Overview for myself, I plugged in one of the sample notebooks about the invention of the lightbulb, and the results were… a bit uncanny. During the 10-minute-long overview, the two hosts had a lighthearted discussion about how Thomas Edison wasn’t the only person behind the lightbulb and that “in the end, it’s actually a story about teamwork, making the dream work.”
My point was that the scammer could also go on a pure fishing expedition. And it was easy to do that as a joke.
