> If a month from now there are 1.3 million generated podcasts, what do you anticipate the fallout to be?
Is this a rhetorical question? Because the answer for podcast indexing and search services is surely pretty obvious.
Why is it a problem? There's even more material for those services now and for their customers, the value these services can provide is even higher.
Wouldn’t the value be lower if podcasts end up the way product review blogs have? Endless spam that causes people to append “Reddit” to their searches in hopes of finding something human generated.
Exactly this. It's obvious that generative AI content is bad for search and indexing, and I wish more people would learn to extrapolate from the forms of the problem that already exist, that the quality of the generated content is not going to solve the "please, god, find me something a real person actually said about this real thing" problem.
I just don't understand how people can pretend this isn't happening just because they find each new twist of a technology fascinating.
