Honest question, why?

I listened to the aging gracefully “standup”.

It starts with “hey you beautiful bastards” because I guess that is what comedians do? Then it goes on a rant about what it’s like to be a “washed up 35 year old comedian”.

Who is the audience for that?

Do you listen to what this thing produces?

Thanks for your feedback. For now, the process is fully automated, and it's impossible for us to manually review with our current resources. We will take audience feedback into account and block inappropriate content from the platform. This is our first version, and we are improving rapidly. We plan to introduce a subscription model in the next release.
Then I would remove anything that would require manual review.

A while back someone built a similar “automated” tool to summarize books and the summaries were wildly inaccurate.

I noticed your site also promotes “book summaries”.

That seems an area rife for misinformation without extensive work in manual review; ie, reading the books, and listening to the “summaries” critically.
