[CONNECTION SUCCESSFUL] There will come a time, in the not-too-distant future, when robots will overtake most of the jobs that we humans presently perform. This includes content creation. Machine learning technologies and AI capabilities are growing by the second. AI-generated content will certainly soon be proliferating on the Internet, with consumers less likely to be capable of differentiating between robot content and genuine products of the creative human brain.
In the spirit of embracing the near-limitless potential of AI technology, a very special bonus episode of Lightnin' Licks Radio has been "created" in collaboration with the "good" people at Umbrella Laboratories. Welcome to the future, Lickers.
An AI application (Diltrizatron 20000) was tasked to analyze every second of content released by Lightnin’ Licks Radio from its inception to present day. The application was then programmed to create a new bonus episode reviewing the podcast’s past episodes, including generating host personalities (JAKE and DEONDRA) to interact with each other as well as the listening audience in Podcast America. This audio upload contains the resulting episode.
