@aronia@tech.lgbt what, does it like create a bunch of characters and have them banter about what's in the document? this is giving off such desperate energy. like "hey we know it's the end of the bubble and all but check out this cool thing we can do that's totally not pointless at all! you still think this is cool, right? check it out! please! the investors are after us and they're not happy…"

@aronia@tech.lgbt Some C-suite dork thought it was amazing, and here we are. I heard a sample of some of this "podcast from a document" shit, and it ought to be unbearable to anyone with a functioning brain cell.

@aronia@tech.lgbt I heard a story just yesterday from someone who was asked to email a PDF, which the recipient turned into a podcast using AI, and then asked questions about that made absolutely no sense.

@aronia@tech.lgbt you're laughing but that's pretty much what NotebookLM is as a dedicated app

@aronia@tech.lgbt I have a very dyslexic friend who also has ADD, who uses notepadLM to do this same thing. For him, reading takes too long, and using a screen reader is too boring to hold his attention. It’s a niche accessibility use case, but an accessibility use case nonetheless.

@aronia@tech.lgbt I particularly don’t understand what they even think a podcast _is_. Like, text-to-speech I get, but ‘podcast’ ???
