Former Wondery exec Jeanine Wright is leading a new firm, Inception Point AI, that's betting on flooding the zone with audio content: “I think that people who are still referring to all AI-generated content as AI slop are probably lazy luddites."
The company produces different levels of podcasts.

Wright says she could eventually imagine having hosts chat with listeners, or sing “Happy Birthday” to them, but there’s wariness about diving in too deep. “I am not going to create a personality that somebody has a deep relationship with,” said William Corbin, co-founder and CTO of the company. He added that the company does not do hard news at this point, but Wright says they might in the future.

They also have a plan to work with existing creators to help them scale their output. “I think it exists alongside it, and it can delve into areas where human hosts might not want to go that deep,” said Josh Taylor, co-founder and chief production officer.
