Garbage in garbage out
Likely all anyone puts in the calendar is "Simon's basketball game" so it will at best reference basketball and Simon playing it and have some fake podcaster say, "And don't forget about that basketball game at 8pm!", and at worst invent/hallucinate tons of details it could never know.
One thing that worries me is even the c level executives offer the worst ideas when it comes to AI and their own AI products. Like, AI can manage to do a lot of useful stuff, but also a lot of terrible use cases... This being one. It takes 1 minute to glance at your week's schedule. An AI podcast invites the worst kind of hallucinations. Whenever you give it a tiny bit of information and expect more back than you gave it like upscaling, you invite the worst hallucinations and inaccuracies.
The fact that they're still struggling to make it sound relevant means they don't even believe in it as much as they're trying to sell it. Bubble is bound to pop soon with this sort of weird behavior... Seems like a year ago they were talking about the machine god being here by now, and now they're like "hey did you know this thing can make a fake podcast?" Yeah I fucking knew that, it was a stupid use case 2 years ago and it's a stupid use case now.
It's funny, my job has been pushing AI hard for a couple years now... So I've been using it on them. I had it write my year end review 2 years ago, because I absolutely hate that I have to do that rather than my manager, and it was all bullshit, but I got a good raise. Last year I tried to be honest, and ended up half assing it, but because I was doing well and everyone knew it (so arguably I shouldn't need a year end review in the first place) I got a promotion and another big raise. Now I'm using it to write my goals, another thing that I hate having to do myself, but the problem is, by now I don't want to put any effort into it, so it's half assing it, and what it put together sounds great, but there's no way to measure it, therefore no way to achieve the goals... By the time I put the effort into giving it the data it needs to make something useful, I could have just done it myself...
