Today, we’re checking out a world of AI tools and, more specifically, AI for Podcasters. I start by asking ChatGPT what the top uses for ChatGPT (and you'll be surprised) are.
We also discuss the crucial balance between leveraging AI for efficiency and maintaining the credibility and trust of your audience. If you lose your integrity, you may never get it back.
Above all, NEVER have AI make content that is made public without human interaction.
