Episode notes
AI Voice Mimicry Gone Wrong
- Matt Whitman trained and tested AI voice models on his 10 Minute Bible Hour audio and got grotesquely wrong and offensive outputs.
- He used those outputs to demonstrate AI’s uncanny but incorrect mimicry of his voice and style.
Current AI Mostly Pattern Matching
- The guests conclude current AI editing is pattern matching, not true thought or creativity.
- They view present tools as workflow optimizers rather than genuine artificial intelligence.
Support Audio With Contextual Visuals

- Match images to theme and era rather than literal keyword hits for meaningful storytelling.
