A company is creating 3,000 a week

This new podcast creation company has reached a conclusion that from the business point of view has no fissures: investing money in a sophisticated and that works without stopping generating content instead of signing podcasting personalities, much more expensive and slow. INTECTION POINT AIhowever, also puts on the table the most immediate dilemma facing the creation of content for the Internet: quality or quantity?

Who they are. The Startup Inception Point AI is led by the former WonderyDective (a traditional podcasta platform) Jeanine Wright, and is betting on a Massive audio content generation strategy using 84 Autonomous AI systems (including models such as Plexity, Claude and Gemini) to produce and climb podcasts at high speed and low cost. The premise is to avoid the high spending of signing famous as presenters and, instead, create “talents” one hundred percent artificial.

The numbers. Each episode costs Inception Point AI approximately 1 dollar, and integrates programmatic advertising. With only 20 listeners per episode, there are already benefits, without counting general expenses. Under the podcast network QUETE PLEASE PODAST NETWORK has launched 5,000 programs with more than 3,000 weekly episodes, and since September 2023 the network has reached 10 million downloads. Each episode has been producing for a team of about eight people, since it occurs with the idea until it is ready to be released.

The programs, of very different formats, are presented by half a hundred characters generated by AI, with names such as Claire Delish (gastronomy), Nigel Thistledown (nature and gardening) or Oly Bennet (alternative sports) .. INTECTION POINT has already begun to produce short videos and establish profiles in social networks for them, with the intention that someone can become influencer digital.

Slop content. INTECTION POINT AI seeks to position itself as a complementary, non -substitute option, but nevertheless, its low cost and the idea that everything is automated has once again put the issue of the theme of the issue of the table Slop content or junk content: Material produced through generative tools, prioritizing speed and quantity on value, novelty or precision, and is characterized both by its banality and the ease with which it expands on the web. The phenomenon arose in 2022 Together with the deployment of large generative models (LLMS and the graphic), and has been consolidated despite controversies such as the integration of systems such as Gemini in Google.

But is this content “garbage”? Although we cannot qualify exactly Slop What does Inception Point do, its content fits with many aspects in the definition: as explained in The Conversationhe Slop It is a material ocean that overflows the user’s ability to filter the relevant and erodes the general quality of information on the network. Here we have absence of originality (From the moment there are no humans creating, but machines that regurgitate existing content), embrace a standardized aesthetic (as demonstrated by the chilling images of the broadcasters), volume and speed are valued above precision and algorithmic exploitation is favored, that is, it is material designed to capture attention and be monetized.

Field paid for the Slop. Podcasts are spaces where the content created by AI can bloom without barriers. There are data that talk about access to podcasts mainly through smartphonesespecially during activities such as driving or exercising, with 38% of listeners listening while driving; And that 23% listen to podcvuts more than ten hours a week, which points to possible listening while other activities are done. Therefore, a light content, which does not require total attention, can find here where to expand, since unlike YouTube and social networks, it does not need full attention to be enjoyed.
