We’ve been on a journey this season into the deepest pits of audio AI slop, mucking around in search of answers about what all this stuff is, and who is behind it. Now, for the final episode of our miniseries, we’re fighting our way back towards the light, trying to figure out who all of this machine-made content is for, and whether there is any hope for the future of human stories.
The answers arrive from some unusual sources, including a face staring up from the breakfast table, and an ant crawling over the sand.
Finally, our own attempt at automating a meaningful AI-hosted podcast, Evan Finds a Friend, is set and ready to launch. Will it sink into the mire like the rest, or rise to find its perfect audience?
Inside the soul of the new machine,
Evan
