‘The team behind Notebook LM has claimed they are working on a tool to detect AI-generated audio, but as of now, it remains unavailable to the public—even after more than a week of back-and-forth emails with their product manager.

@csb my stance is that they need to be identified, for either filtering in or out of searches in client apps

including them in the mix with everything else will frustrate listeners and make the app look bad, so this is going to be quite a germane area of focus in the next few months

yez, whereby please notice: already now, before notebook LM, there are podcasts where majority is AI generated or text-to-speech and yet there is some human talk and such "podcasters" claim that these are valid podcasts

@csb @js How are they not? What makes it invalid? What arbitrary standard says that a podcast that uses an AI generated voice to aid in its production is not a podcast?

John Spurlock

@rgblack316 @csb they are podcasts, but worth identifying in apps for listeners that care

@js I agree with that statement 100%, but the argument by @csb has little weight in saying they are not a "valid podcast," especially with the rise in attempts to change the definition of a podcast is by Spotify and others while these are using RSS and are, by definition, a podcast.

@js Shocking.

Todd Cochrane

@js The ability to get a free account ends up with a ton of trash on all the sites that do not require a CC to get started

PodknowsNeal

@js but wait, isn't Listen Notes that platform that tells everyone they're a top 1% podcast? Do we take any thing they say at all seriously?
