    > The pipeline takes an episode from research to published podcast automatically, with quality checks that catch hallucinations and anything that can’t be sourced back to an actual document.

    What always gets me with this type of thing is that folks don't trust the LLM to not make things up (rightfully so), but will solve that problem with more LLM. What makes the LLM-based quality checks less prone to derailment?

    It's not so surprising to read this further down

    > One person can now do what a newsroom did and I don’t think people fully understand what that means yet.

    This kind of naïveté is a major contributor to the ongoing spread of LLM-powered disinformation.

    I scrubbed through two episodes. Half the playtime is focused on hypothetical conclusions and the AI making sure to constantly repeat that there is no evidence for XYZ... It's sensational garbage content at best.
