    what does this even mean? There has been text to speech for web pages forever (I have to click a whole bunch of fire hydrants to find out)

      I found out basically it is nothing different from what has already existed in basic text to speech. This is basically just "entrepreneur" repackaging of the same thing that already exists to get people to buy a new thing and justify their investment lol

        More proof """"AI"""" is more of a marketing term than actual artificial intelligence. It's dot com/blockchain/cloud shit all over again.

      the "innovation" here is that the AI summarizes whatever corpus you feed it (often in a shallow or incorrect fashion) and then writes a bland NPR podcast script to tell you about it in bland NPR voices

        that's so bad lmao. because that's literally what the writers of the thing already did to get you the information in the article/book whatever

        It's gonna be really funny when people use this on AI written articles and then it gets AI summarized and you get telephone gamed by your own products
