A partnership with OpenAI will let podcasters replicate their voices to automatically create foreign-language versions of their shows.

    It would help with accessibility, and it might help protect some lesser spoken languages because those people can grow an audience as well.

    The tech will develop regardless and people will abuse it for other means, at least this one feels like a positive use as opposed to say, a company making its own podcast series with a stolen voice.

    If the creator can choose to generate other languages for their own voice, that’s probably fine?

      In the short term, AI is only trained on popular languages like Spanish. It will not help less common ones.

      I agree, I think this should be an opt-in thing instead of fully automatic. If its as easy as pressing a button to increase your audience to other languages, I don’t see why creators wouldn’t do it unless they had a good reason.
