SolderSmoke Artificial Intelligence -- Where the AI Podcasts Came From

 

The aticle and the podcast (don't worry, it is NOT an AI podcast) explain how we were able to generate the AI podcasts we presented during the last two days.

The audio podcast feature was introduced only ONE WEEK AGO!  Rarely have we been so close to the cutting edge!  

The product itself first launched in 2023 as Project Tailwind, and has since been rebranded and expanded in big ways. Just last week, the team launched Audio Overviews, which generates a podcast — with two chatty hosts, plenty of back and forth, and a truly remarkable penchant for the phrases “deep dive” and “buckle up” — based on the information you provide. It’s fascinating, it’s complicated, and it’s getting better really fast.

Thanks to Bob for alerting me to all this!

  1. Bill,
    this was the scariest thing I've ever encountered. You could create an AI political candidate, have conversations with it, and no one would know the difference.
    Skynet is just around the corner!

    1. While not exactly what you are referring to, this will do the voicing and video. You supply the conversation.

  2. I was alarmed at their implicit sexism: the woman made simple observations, and the man “taught” her throughout. It was that which alarmed me the most. What a future for our clever daughters!

  3. The guy sounds a bit like Mike Rowe. I wonder if that was part of input to the AI
