In this episode, we explore the role of AI in podcasting and whether AI bots can replace human hosts. While AI is great at summarizing information, it cannot create new knowledge or provide the best insight that resonates with human listeners. However, incorporating AI in the podcasting process can still be valuable, especially when preparing for an episode or utilizing AI tools for content curation. It is crucial to understand the use case of AI in podcasting and remember to prioritize delivering value to the human audience.
