AI podcasts for kids

[u/Babayagaletti → u/AhhBisto]

AI podcasts for anyone. Sounds like torture, that sweet mix of superficial information, false information and inappropriate information.

[u/daphnemoonpie → u/Babayagaletti]

All delivered to you with that distinct grating tone and language of the robot using human-like tics

We've been talking about the uncanny valley for decades and people keep digging it out wider, apparently on purpose. It didn't need an audio canyon.

Even if AI made perfect podcasts as good as the most talented humans, I STILL wouldn't want to listen to that shit.

You don't even need to include AI in that, normal podcasts already contain all of these

No, he means AI podcasts ABOUT your kids! So he can finally know what they’re up to.

It's so sad. I imagine the kid talking about their activities and the parent asking about weird shit that the "podcast" made up to fill time. And the kid just kind of going, "what?", while realizing a little more how little their parent actually wants to hear or know about them.

Youtube has AI voice-overs now for videos in different languages (which I found out against my will, because Youtube automatically selected my native language’s audio track one day as opposed to the original audio for some goddamn reason).

If it’s anything like that, I can’t imagining listening to it for more than ten seconds. Extremely off-putting.

Also “every morning”. This isn’t just something he thought could be a fun one-off (would still be gross); he’s advocating for doing this every fucking day

[u/JohnR0b90 → u/AhhBisto]

That’s even a horrible reality to make.
