AI-generated video podcast content fails because AI writes bad scripts that people instantly recognize as slop, destroying credibility — the value of this content is the human take, not an AI summary.

42:00on the list here. And Wes has something that I found to be pretty disturbing, honestly. This Hey Jen video podcast, which I think sucks. Uh Wes, what do you think? >> Well, okay. I was I changed my mind after Scott baffled the [snorts] uh all the things. He can't baffled. Not even saying the right thing. Anyways, Hey Jen, which is a uh a company that will train video on

42:25your likeness. So, you'll be able to I've used it. I used it like a couple years ago and I've recently tried it as well. Basically, you can like upload a video and audio of you talking and it will be able to create um video of that. And we saw a similar thing with Sora. there's a bunch of people sort of in the space. Um, and they released a new

42:44feature which is video podcast which is essentially just like two people sitting in a room talking back and forth. Um, and it's so odd because a technically extremely impressive that this is like this looks really good. Um, if you look really closely, you can you can tell and there's there's things that are like odd about it. But it is very very impressive that you can actually do this, right?

43:09But on the same side, like I don't know that that people necessarily want this type of thing where it is just entirely AI generated. Where I think this will do well is um AI is really good of if you can give it a whole bunch of data sources and say just please summarize and distill this down into a document that I can read. But also a lot of

God, you know, >> this is good. People are going to use

43:52this like crazy. But other than that, I don't think people actually want this. And I think the most important thing is that AI sucks at actually like writing a good script for this type of thing. I can hear I scroll through Tik Tok, Instagram, reals all the time and I can within like like 5 seconds I can hear when somebody has used CHP or AI to write a script. And if you're trying to

44:17get into the space, you're trying to build something, people don't want to hear your garbage AI script that's over and over. People can notice it right away. You're going to immediately lose all of your credibility. We saw that this weekend with Hank Green, who's like a massive I guess like science YouTuber, sock salesman. He DM'd me when I was doing my sock thing. He people noticed that he was he was has

44:43all these like little chat GPT isms. And then he came out and says, "I have an unhealthy relationship with AI." Um, which is really funny because everybody thinks that they know where the bar is for their healthy relationship with AI. And I don't think it's a huge deal that he used it to help him and to to assist with writing his his script, but he just straight up was reading the script that
