More of a tech demo than anything else.
What's wild about this is that the voices seem way better than GCP's TTS that I've seen. Any way to get those voices as an API?
Great idea. I wonder how long until we'd see a lot of "autogenerated" podcasts with syndicated advertising inside spamming the podcast space. Like with robovoiced videos on YT reading some scraped content.
Would you listen to an auto-generated podcast? Seems like removing the humans from the equation kind of defeats the purpose.

If I get to control it and I can have it draw in enough interesting angles into something, I think it could be fun. I wouldn't replace one of my favorites, but I'd gladly use something that could generate creative new content.
This is really cool. Although I wouldn't put money on a Google project sticking around even if it was a full fledged product! More of a tech demo than anything else. What's wild about this is that the voices seem way better than GCP's TTS that I've seen. Any way to get those voices as an API?
