This Podcast Never Happened – But It Shows Where We’re Going

We recently tried something unusual: creating a podcast without microphones, cameras, or even people.

The video you can find below showcases what the advancement of artificial intelligence can do. The video's script was composed through AI, the voiceovers were computerized, and even the expressions on faces were sculpted using sophisticated tools. Everything was created through imagination. There was no studio and no crew.

It is not flawless; there are some strange gestures and there's bound to be something that feels amiss. There's beauty in every experiment, and this is exhilarating because just a year ago, achieving this amount of realism would involve a full production resource team. All it takes now is a few hours of AI.

That's a big shift.

As we all know, there is unprecedented rapid advancement in the things we create as well as the way we communicate. Tasks that used to require several weeks worth of effort can now be completed in record time. This does not merely apply to marketing and media, but to internal communication as well as training, customer service, and many others.

These observations do stimulate change, but there are always questions to be answered such as the application of AI technology, preserving creativity and the balance between authenticity. These are the challenges of true innovation and figuring out what the future holds through AI experiments is the start to tackling them.

So no, this podcast never actually happened. But what it represents is very real: a shift in how we work, how we create, and how we think about what's possible.
