- Good. But can be so much better.
It’s probably not using the Sota models in generating the script or the prompt was rigid. There is always this format about implication and critique etc which limits and sways the original content of the article and sometimes obviously distract from the original focus.

United Statesa month ago - Good use
No human would do this one by one chronically probably right. SotA quality voices pls, from 8 to 10 stars. Also def needs SotA model to not be slop btw haven’t listened to judge just know from experience, even Opus latest thinking wasn’t perfect. Thank you!

Kudos to Wondercraft AI for building and maintaining this podcast as an example of what their AI tech can do. I really admire the prompting strategy used to break down each topic, extract not only the core arguments but also include counter points and other tangential topics.
The text to speech voice quality is impressive!

Apple Podcasts5MoJo JoJo HoBoUnited States2 years ago - Perfect Summaries
This is what I’ve always wanted. The summaries get straight to the point, first summarizing the news, and then providing a topic wise summaries of the comments, which is really hard to do. I picked this over a human hosted podcast because this does not have the personal commentary of the hosts. AI done right. The voice narrative is very smooth and no glitches so far. Easy to follow. This is will be my morning routine from now on.
