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."
Honestly if it encourages big companies to drop Joe Rogan and the like and replace them with AI that would be pretty funny because he commands a lot of money so obviously it would be preferable to replace him with something cheaper even if it has to be a dozen somethings.
Also the only group of people I could see this consistently working on would be reactionaries who just want to be spoon-fed rage bait and the same repetitious nonsense over and over again. You could probably make a bunch of reactionary political podcasts and get a ton of boomers and such subscribing to and paying for them. Might need to pay Twitter to license raw input content for the right amount of reactionary stuff but it seems totally doable. They all talk about the same thing and you could just have your hosts invent things to be outraged about and that would work too.
