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.

The problem is that filtering/searching on that massive catalog and weeding the useless stuff out.
One problem I see with this is legitimizing LLM-extracted content as canon. The realistic human speech masks the fact that the LLM might be hallucinating or highlighting the wrong parts of a book/paper as important.
Imagine reading a math or programming textbook where each statement was true with probability 0.95.
Cool tech. Now we know that very soon no one will be able to trust podcasts or video narration.
You shouldn’t have been trusting podcasts in the first place, Joe Rogan says plenty of false things no AI required.
I've seen YouTubers provide tutorials on auto-creating YouTube videos and podcast episodes on niche scientific subjects, on how to build seemingly-reputable brands with zero ongoing effort. That is all totally novel. Being able to lie or be wrong before is orthogonal to the real issue: scale.
So podcasts are now automated, anything with a speaker or a screen is now assumed to be not human. Is this supposed to be a good thing that we want to accelerate (e/acc) towards?

This tech can allow "content creators" to spin hundreds of podcasts with garbage simultaneously, saturating the search space with nonsense. Similar to what is already being done with text everywhere.
What makes one skeptic regarding conspiracionist ideas is access and visibility to more enlightened content. If that access gets disrupted (it already has been), many people will not be able to tell the difference, specially future generations.

Of course if you listen to podcasts because you like the parasocial aspect or the celebrity interviews, then yeah... Not really a point.

Is that audio all generated? All the pauses, breaths, speed ups and everything?
