Quoting from the CEO
I think that people who are still referring to all AI-generated content as AI slop are probably lazy luddites
We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI

If they’re producing over 3,000 episodes a week, this is quantity over quality, which is definitionally slop.
Did you see the part where they pick topics that are trending on google via AI? So they will make a thousand podcasts about whale facts that are all wrong because they think it will fet more clicks?
I actually can’t believe companies are cool with hosting and storing all this garbage on their servers that they complain are costing them so much money these days to make $5 for a group like this.
Yup, it’s a preposterous business model.
They’re churning out a thousand different “podcasts” in the hopes that maybe 20 people will listen to 1, and that 1 will get new episodes?
They’re viewing podcasts as a business + marketing exercise, which ignores the whole reason that podcasts became popular in the first place; unique creators making unique works as a labour of love.
This could also be SEO’d to shit if targeted. It would end up all being about products and scams.
All the while jacking up my electric and water bill to support these data centers use. Need legislation to push the burden on these companies and not the general public, especially people like me who don’t use or support this shit.
If they marketed it as “Hallucinating about whales for an hour” it might get genuine interest.
