Today, Academia.edu (with which I have a free account) offered me an AI-generated podcast about one of my papers. The voice was very lifelike: it took about a minute before its robotic nature became clear. But the text! It was ridiculously over the top for a very minor paper more than 35 years old constructing an algorithm of no practical importance, that I doubt anyone has looked at much after its original publication. Truly, the AI has me beat hands down at turning a molehill of content into a mountain of puffery.
I declined to let Academia.edu display it on my profile.
