I think this is as much an indictment about how shitty and formulaic most podcasts are as opposed to strictly an AI hellworld thing
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?

What if empty vapid slop full of privileged dudebro pablum... but without the privileged dudebro's direct involvement? THE FUTURE!
I imagine the first treat peddler to make it into a virtual waifu format will sell like hotcakes.
The future will get very strange. Some guys will prefer the company of their AI sexbot to anybody or anything else.
Already happening.
Yes, I actually do agree with the party line that it is wrong to bully people for being lonely or for seeking ways to offset or mitigate that loneliness, but at the same time I am really, really fucking tired of the misanthropic babbling from the waifu-cravers especially as LLM shit continues to push the rest of us into further marginalization and precarity.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The AI podcast doesn’t bother me. It’s using your notes to make it that pisses me off.
