We also share a clip from a recent Joe Rogan interview with an AI expert who claims that advanced models may already be smarter than they let on, and could be pretending to be less capable just to gain our trust. We talk about how these shifts could impact creators, audiences, and the meaning of authenticity in a world where machines are learning how to sound human. So if you’re excited, nervous, or somewhere in between, we’re giving you a front-row seat to the conversations shaping podcasting’s future.
