What Exactly is AI Slop?
Send us feedback/questions via Text
Today we got a question from Kenny from the CuzWilson Show (not a typo). "I'm Kenny Wilson and my new podcast is The Cuz Wilson Show and I talk about people, places, and things named Wilson. I created a YouTube show to supplement the podcast with topic visuals and showcase personalized merch with Wilson in the graphics to support non-profits named Wilson. My concern is about AI Potslop because I hate it like you guys do, however I love Notebook LM. My YouTube show is half my real recorded text invoice and half Notebook LM hosted explainers with static images but no videos or AI talking heads. I record my real voice for the intro, tease the topic of the day, then I describe a Wilson thing or place and then I show the explainer and then I discuss the explainer after that. I do a transition and then I repeat the format for the next topic. It helps me to have visuals to describe the things I talk about, but I don't want to turn off those who also hate Potslop like I do or reduce my credibility. I categorize my cautious use of AI as Potslop-lite, therefore I like your definition of what makes Potslop so I can avoid the irritation it causes. I know you say it's your podcast and you can do what you want, but I highly respect your opinions from all your help over the last two years of being a member of the school of podcasting and listening to your show. Thanks guys!"
Today we attempt to answer that question. We reference Jeanine Wright on the New Media Show.
