    People who don’t like podcasts and/or just want to quickly skim over stuff.

    Even postgame recap podcasts will probably be automated to some extent quite soon once you get better text to speech programs.

      what is even the point of that? you can go to a website and do text to speech. i thought podcasts were meant to offer insight and opinions. listening to an ai read box scores sounds painfully dull

        Which podcasts do you listen to?

        My point is that most of the sports writing outside of a few good beat reporters is very generic. You can notice the patterns very quickly for most of the bread and butter articles released by most websites.

        A good AI/boilerplate can make it a narrative. Team X went up, then continued to maintain a lead with additional scores until Team Z finally scored. Then…

        There are ways to make stuff interesting.
