What if you discovered a podcast you loved was never human to begin with? Our journey kicks off with the thrilling and somewhat unsettling world of AI-generated podcasts, where technology, creativity, and ethics collide. We question the authenticity of AI voices and dive into how trust is built—or broken—with listeners. Their insights challenge us to consider our own connections to digital hosts, much like our relationships with fictional TV characters, and they provide a thought-provoking look at how AI might redefine our media landscape.
