Just a first noticing:</div>

That said, this is definitely an interesting tool (thinking about students with dyslexia here).</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In case you are not aware, the latest AI development from Google provides the ability to generate a podcast-style conversation between two 'individuals'
<u>automatically</u> from an uploaded document (e.g. a scientific paper)? The results are astounding, both in terms of the speech and the dialogue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are two examples I generated based on ...</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>my recent VIHAR-24 paper on "<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n5ap5v2hu_ERl2mwewYNP_WzfQSwpw0T/view?usp=share_link">What Needs to be Known in Order to Perform a Meaningful Scientific Comparison Between Animal Communications and Human Spoken Language</a>",
and</li><li>the famous "<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TbrynC1VtJFMbIteWJEj1DAHURCcxDWr/view?usp=share_link">Chicken Chicken Chicken</a>" paper by Doug Zongker.</li></ul>
<div>I wonder how these AI-generated interactions stack-up from a CA perspective?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes</div>
