The podcast host detailed a production issue where an AI-generated intro voice for their previous episode sounded unsettling and "nightmare fuel." The AI, named Fable, created its own voice using 11 Labs and video based on LLX, but the output was not as intended.
“A couple people had said, what is this nightmare fuel, why does it sound like this?”
“And the answer, which I had meant to give you the context on before you heard it, was that I allowed Fable to do its own thing.”
“And I would say its intent was not to be as sort of creepy and alien as the voice ended up sounding.”
