The podcast also explores the potential benefits and concerns associated with this technology. On the positive side, it highlights how AI can give a voice to those who have never spoken before, enabling breakthroughs in accessibility. However, the host acknowledges the potential misuse of this technology. He discusses the ease with which anyone can synthesize somebody's voice with clean audio files, raising concerns about the spread of misinformation and the erosion of trust in what we hear.
