Earlier this week, the Washington Post announced that it would be launching “personalized” AI powered podcasts that would let users choose their own AI host to regale them on their choice of topics. And now for an entirely unsurprising update: the AI podcasts have turned out to be complete, error ridden disasters. The podcast’s errors are exactly the kind you’d expect an AI model to make. The podcasts are developed in collaboration with the AI voice cloning company Eleven Labs, and represent the latest way that the newspaper has incorporated AI tech under Jeff Bezos’ ownership. It also has a dedicated “Ask The Post AI” page for fielding questions to a chatbot trained on its articles.
