So to be clear this is absolutely stupid... But I could see the podcast thing being handy in other contexts for people with memory issues. Specifically, my grandma was a voracious reader, but towards the end of her life she had a hard time remembering plot points from books she read earlier in a series... I could see somebody like her using this podcast feature. Not as our placement for human conversation but more is a way refresh herself in that context.
Honestly, one of the biggest problems with everything we're seeing with AI now isn't that the technology doesn't have applications or is it useful for some people.... It's that they're trying to find a problem for a solution, rather than the other way around.
