Rob Greenlee predicts human hosts will stay but AI co-hosts will become standard, working like a sports broadcast team where the human does play-by-play and AI handles facts. He's launching a new show called Spoken Human to explore AI and humanity's convergence.
Chapters
I don't see human podcasts going away. I agree with you 100%. Podcasts are becoming the media. And, but maybe in the near future, we will have a podcast host with an AI co-host. Well, I mean, I did that last, last time I did an episode and I think it turned out, it turned out pretty good, but it's kind of like a sports sports broadcaster team, right? So you have a main host and then you have a color commentator of sorts, right? That knows all the facts and the details and, and knows everything about each player and stuff. And it's always been this like tag team of the, this announcer, you know, does the play-by-play, is the main host, and then the, the color commentator, which brings in all of the facts and the details, right? I think that's a good analogy for what AI is capable of doing. So anyway, well, thank you so much for being here with me tonight. I wanted to make this a little bit shorter of an episode and let me know what you think about what I did tonight and what, what's different about this than what I've done in the past. And also let me know about your thoughts about me as a podcaster shifting my my focus to trying to deal with this AI-human convergence, conflict, and opportunity in a podcast called Spoken Human. So I'm looking at trying to launch this in the next couple weeks, and I'm excited for it too, because it may be a little bit like what I did in 1999 with my WebTalk radio show, talking about the growth and development of the internet and the web and how it was gonna change culture and how it was gonna change society and how people increasingly needed to understand what was going on here. And so that's what I hope to bring here. Like I said, thank you for being with me here tonight. I appreciate the, all the live listeners. And if you're watching this on, on demand, you can certainly find this podcast in all the podcast apps. It's also an audio and video podcast. So you can actually watch this in Apple Podcasts and I'll try and get this out. Tomorrow. And so you can actually watch it on iOS or Android.
