Cool! How long does it take to make something like this?

I'm curious because it seems like you could do it with two calls to a third party LLM provider: one to prompt it to take the persons profile and generate a script for a podcast based on what the user wants, then another to get the audio file back that narrates the script.

I'm not trying being facetious by asking this either, I'm just trying to figure out what value creation actually looks like when using LLM's to do projects, what is to stop me from doing the same thing in a few hours?

Stupid questions like this over general lack of action. And the idea that you can make stuff just because you think you can.

What is it that you think is so complex about this?
Where is the project you built?
Stop diverting the question, tell me where my assumption is wrong of needing to make 2 API calls to an LLM provider to do this or prove me wrong. If you're going to be firmly on the AI fanboy bandwagon you will need to eventually face difficult questions like this.
I was just saying it's the psychology that stops people from building stuff. Not complexity.
Once thought about doing the same and I can already tell you it takes 3 days of research to accept that theres not better alternative than the pdf resume to get the linkedIn data for a profile. I am sure they tried various ways before ;)
