It seems to be like it is time to introduce a ‘hosted by people’ badge for podcasts: Bloomberg reports<\/a> that some 39% of latest podcasts are actually “seemingly” generated by AI, as per knowledge from the Podcast Index that tracks the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

This should not come as a shock actually, as producing AI-hosted audio is now extremely easy, and really quick. You may make your individual AI podcast via a instrument equivalent to NotebookLM in just a few minutes<\/a> \u2014 feed in a couple of sources to work from, and also you get two AI hosts chatting via them. You may even interject with your individual feedback.<\/p>\n
