Don't do this. A friend did this to me, and after listening to it, I suddenly realized it was AI vomit. My friend wasted an hour of my attention, and I didn't appreciate it.
I asked a friend if they had any ideas about something, and they asked an LLM, and it's like... If I wanted an LLMs answer, I'd ask it myself. I want your answer, distilled through your experience and opinions...
If it was vomit, why did you spend an hour on it? People complain about 2 minutes of audio sometimes, I cannot imagine a full hour of an unknown podcast, it must have been quite interesting.
Because they assumed that there was a good reason that their friend sent it!?
I had a friend who did the same to me, I was sent a message asking my opinion on a tech topic. I spent 30min researching/reading to make sure my reply was accurate and then found out the question was generated by a LLM, and he just wanted to show off how good a LLM was.
It will color every interaction you have with that person...
I think you are leaving the human out of the loop. When a friend of mine recommends me something I'll lower my skepticism because I'm assuming my friend would not send me garbage.
If a random podcaster says "I've proved that P=NP" I'd say "no you didn't", but if a math professor sends me that same link I'll keep listening to see where this goes. And I've definitely read texts making wild assertions that only at the end were revealed as hit pieces and/or propaganda.
Even if you think your friend would only send good things, you would realize that something is vomit in less than an hour. I cannot understand someone listening to something for an entire hour and then whining that they waste their entire hour and it was vomit, you're not in a cinema, you didn't pay a ticket for it, you listen to something because you like it or move on.
You can argue your point all day, it will not resolve their cognitive dissonance.
No matter how convincing, high-quality or entertaining it was, no matter for how long they happily consumed the content: it's AI-generated, they hate AI, therefore it's vomit, period.
I read some of your other replies and I can't quite get a read on your line of reasoning.
The issue is we would give less attention to these things if it wasn't for the social credit the humans gave the vomit. So we engage in good faith and it turns out it was effectively a prank, and we have no choice but to value requests from those people less now because it was clear they didn't care about our response.
You ever watched a reviewbrah video? he doesn't get to "without any further ado" moment until after the halfway point of the video. The prank is the wasted time. But the joke is every other YTber does it more subversively without you getting any laughs out of it. It proves we give way more attention to slop then we dare to calculate.
