HHH Issue #1  Podcast

New and intriguing AI tools are making headlines every day. From the latest controversy regarding China’s new AI, deepseek, to virtual note-taking tools like Otter.AI. It would be an understatement to say it is difficult to stay up-to-date in the AI sector. 

As we are all familiar podcasting has taken the world by storm, with approximately 4.18 million podcasts worldwide as of May 2024. One thing anyone who has a podcast can tell you is that it is a lot of work. From finding a guest, choosing the topic, scripting, recording the audio, and editing the audio; it can be very time-consuming. Now, it looks like AI may have a solution for easier podcast creation.

Google's NotebookLM has recently emerged as a great tool for transforming text and documents into engaging audio content. This AI-powered assistant allows users to upload various documents—PDFs, Google Docs, or web URLs—and quickly generates audio overviews, effectively turning written material into podcast-style discussions. 

Though it is a very interesting tool, it is not perfect. The AI voices lack the passion, realness, and character that bring authenticity to podcasting. As we delegate more tasks to AI, we must consider what is gained in efficiency and what might be lost in human connection. 

I am not sure if Joe Rogan would have become the controversial podcasting powerhouse if he had done it using AI, that being said with how technology and AI have been advancing who knows how much better tools like this will become?

We have converted the first issue of the Hotel Hui Newsletter into a podcast using Notebook LM. Listen above and let us know what you think about this AI tool! Will it be distributing the podcasting industry anytime soon?
