I don't hate the idea of AI generated podcasts (quite the opposite), but I can't shake that I can't trust what they're saying. High quality podcasts have fact checking and a reputation to uphold. On this, they just slap a disclaimer on that it might contain inaccuracies.

Will give it a listen tho!

It is actually only the good AI generated material that will even have that kind of disclaimer. The ones that want you believe in their lies will not even have any disclaimer.

Having said this, after having listened to 100+ episodes of this podcast, I have yet to spot a single lie, although they may still exist with a very small probability. The reason why any fact checking step has not been added to this podcast is because it hasn't proven to be too necessary in the first place.

I have a different project "newssurvey" which uses external data and has citations for claims, although I still need to add an extra citation verification step for it. Perhaps in time I will.
