Listening to @Adam Curry :pci: :pc2blue: and @1e2637ad…4583cbfb from last week. Really fascinating - the disconnect between “AI is great! Nobody doesn’t like it!” from Adam, and literally everyone else in my entire world who hates AI-generated content with a passion only reserved for the worst of things. In podcasts or radio, AI is fine for short bursts of information where you aren’t investing time with the human doing the show. The weather? Travel news? Finance news? Sure, that’s fine - particularly if AI means that every transmitter or streamer gets hyper-local near-live output that would be impossible without hundreds of humans. Basically, any piece of content where the name of the person doing it either isn’t important, or isn’t even given. But for anything more than that, people expect a human being and feel cheated if they get an AI voice. It is perplexing that a former radio personality doesn’t understand that relationship between the host and the audience.

I find myself with a visceral reaction when I see obvious AI images with articles - I instantly don’t believe what the article says. (Interestingly, even if it’s disclosed as AI). I assume that if you can’t be bothered to spend a few minutes on a proper photograph for your article, it probably means you rushed the writing as well. I can’t believe that podcast listeners don’t feel the same way.

podcast listener that I speak to, really do hate AI images. However it’s more AI image cover art that they dislike, if a show has AI image as the cover art and it’s like obviously AI users tend not to want to engage with it, at least from what I’ve been told. @Adam Curry :pci: :pc2blue: @1e2637ad…4583cbfb

Agree. Yes, slop is a good term when expressed like that.

Yeah, gross mischaracterization of what I actually said. I came with examples that are not much different from your.s You brought: "literally everyone in my world" There is no argument that we live in different worlds. We all do. The genesis of the conversation is what you said: "The podcasting 2.0 people will argue forever about the tag" That is a feature, not a bug James. We serve more than just the people in your world.

If I already know a show it doesn’t bother me too much. But if it’s a new show I haven’t heard before the AI art just turns me completely off. 99% certainty I will never give it a chance. I can’t explain why. It’s just how it feels to me.
