I like your thinking :) I thought horoscopes (Because they are kind of repetitive) was a good first fit - because the scripts could be generated from stock fragments 'A chance encounter' etc...

I think when the little glitches are ironed out of 'real' TTS - we'll be awash with generated content.

I can imagine. Imagine a podcast generation system. You'd simply have to describe the personalities of the host(s), the topic, the general vibe of the theme music, length, hardcode any sponsors, and a GPT-4 powered MLops service could produce something liked by a list of demographics 8 times out of 10 in 5 minutes.

There really is no stopping this train. In 2030 90% of internet content adopting the guise of being from the "real world" will be entirely generated by machine learning models. 90% of conversations you have with strangers online will likewise be with bots catered to influence you in subtle ways to maximize the return on revenue of your attention.

In a parallel to email spam-bots, we get personal agents which (by your choice) filter out the generated content and make sure you only get the real deal.

The fight is real.

This battle between bots and detectors will consume 99% of computer resources by then. Total GANnihilation.
