00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,440
Welcome to podcast answers. It's a show where I help people start and grow their podcast,

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:20,200
answering any podcasting questions along the way. That's right guys. Today we are going

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:26,760
to be answering podcast questions and this is something that is kind of new to me. I've,

4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:35,640
we're going to be talking about AI today and using AI to do your podcast and have it create

5
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:42,960
things for your podcast. And I've not actually done this for very more, very much, but for

6
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:53,520
this episode, I actually did do it. I created a cover art for this episode. And so today

7
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,960
we're going to be talking about that, you know, AI is all the rage today. You know, you see it

8
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:06,360
from chat GPT. Everyone's doing things with chat GPT. In fact, last night I was at somebody's house

9
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,960
and they were just playing around with chat GPT. They were uploading pictures and asking the chat

10
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,840
GPT to describe the people in the pictures. So they were saying, please describe in words in

11
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:28,520
very much detail about the person that's actually in this picture. And it was interesting to see

12
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,480
the stuff that would come back from chat GPT because chat GPT was talking, you know, they would

13
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:41,840
do all sorts of crazy stuff. Chat GPT was, was explaining, oh, this is a very handsome young

14
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:48,640
man who has a audacious smile and his eyes are beaming like the sun beams. And it was kind of

15
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:59,200
ridiculous to listen to your chat GPT actually describe someone in that way. So I've not really,

16
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:08,480
I have to admit, again, I've not really used, used AI in my podcasting until now. And so I was

17
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:16,080
starting to notice that you could generate art and you could generate a lot of things. And so I

18
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,440
was like, you know, this is something that I kind of want to talk about on podcast answers because

19
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:29,440
lots of people are using it. So what are some ideas? What are some ways that we can use

20
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:39,200
not just chat GPT but AI. So content ideas. So this is something that I actually did recently

21
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,760
is I asked chat GPT, you know, something that retains pertain to my podcast. In this case,

22
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,240
I asked them, you know, what are people asking about podcasting? What are people talking about

23
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:57,680
podcasting? What are people wondering about podcasting? And I got a list of things back

24
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:05,760
and I elaborated on some of those and I went ahead and copied them down. Now don't just copy

25
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,720
all of the things that it comes down with and make a podcast about it.

26
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:18,480
Right. So you're not, you're not just going to want to take the stuff that comes back from chat GPT

27
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:26,880
and bring it in to your podcast as that you don't want to do that. You want to change it up a little

28
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,560
bit. Do your own research. Use it as a research tool. Use chat GPT as something

29
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:40,160
like a research tool where you're not just going out and copying what it says because

30
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,000
who knows where it's actually getting that data from. I mean, yes, it is AI. It is

31
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:52,400
artificial, but it is pulling the ideas. It was trained on something. So it is pulling those

32
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,680
ideas from somewhere. So don't just copy and put that in your podcast. Don't just have it generate

33
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,720
a script. Don't just say, Hey, chat GPT, what can I use podcasting for? What can I use AI for in

34
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,640
my podcast? And then copy that down to make an episode. So I didn't do that for this episode.

35
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:20,720
I did not say, Hey, I'm going to go and create my podcast episode and just use the content that

36
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:29,680
chat GPT gives me. No. What I do is I put all of that in my notion book. I use notion for capturing

37
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:39,040
all of my podcast ideas. I use notion for having it so that you can keep track of my podcast episodes

38
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,440
that I've produced and things like that. And so what I do is I don't necessarily take

39
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,280
all of the things that chat GPT says. I copied a few things down for ideas, for episode ideas,

40
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:59,360
for content ideas. But then what I did is I actually expounded on my own. I did research on

41
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:06,480
my own. I didn't just contact, copy down what I was going to be talking about from chat GPT.

42
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:14,000
I expanded on my own. Now, another thing you can do is I did mention notion. And that's the

43
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,520
app that I use to keep all my ideas, my episode ideas and kind of write down what I'm going to

44
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:30,080
be talking about. And notion actually has an AI text prompt. And so actually, so do a lot of

45
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,440
different apps right now. But so what you can do is even in notion, you can type in an ask it things.

46
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:43,040
You can ask it to come up with a three point talk on how to better yourself or whatever,

47
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:50,240
whatever your topic is about. You can use apps like notion because a lot of apps are incorporating

48
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:59,120
AI right into their app and able to bring in prompts right in their app. So

49
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:05,760
you can use something like notion and it has a text prompt. In fact, you know what, I wonder if I

50
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:12,160
can do this right as we do this this episode. So if I let's see, it's I'm going to ask it to

51
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:22,640
tell me what are three topics that pod casters are concerned about.

52
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:32,480
And we'll see what it we'll see what it comes back with. So it says AI is writing and it says

53
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,000
the topics that pod casters are often concerned about are monetization strategies for their podcast,

54
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,680
increasing their podcast audience and reach, improving the quality and production value of

55
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,600
their podcast episodes, which by the way, you can have me help you with. I can do all of these things.

56
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,560
That's what my goal with podcast answers is, is to help you do your podcast and make it better.

57
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,200
I help with monetizing and increasing your listener reach, improving the audio quality.

58
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,200
And then it says these topics are all important for podcasters as they strive to create engaging

59
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:09,120
and successful podcasters. So one of the things that you do need to be careful with is when you do

60
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:17,600
use AI is make it sound like your voice. Like those things may not sound like I am saying them.

61
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:24,800
They may be sounding like AI is writing them. And so we don't want to do that. We want to be

62
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,040
careful and concerned with the way that we talk because again, AI is just a computer language.

63
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:37,040
It's computer. It's using a computer data model. And so the way that it spits back and like I

64
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,520
talked about in this beginning of this episode, when I was with my friends last night and they

65
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:48,640
asked them to describe the photo, it was using words that sounded like a poem on a front of a

66
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,480
card. It sounded like something that he wouldn't. I mean, in fact, it was funny because he was

67
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:58,560
asking it to describe a picture of his wife. And so I even joked, hey, John, you should actually

68
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,440
just write that down on a card and give it to your wife because it sounds like a love poem,

69
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,320
but not anything that you would say. So it would be important that if John was going to tell his

70
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:14,480
wife those things that he changed it up into words that sounded like John because people are

71
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,040
going to believe that it's you writing it. And in your, the way you write is unique and special and

72
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,280
not anyone else is going to sound exactly like the way that you talk and the way that you write.

73
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:33,280
And so it's important that you go about and actually take the, take the

74
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,480
content that the AI has generated and change it up a little bit.

75
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,360
You know, in this case, I may say that, you know, today we're going to be talking about how to make

76
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:50,400
money for your podcast, several things you can do or increasing your, you know, I'm going to teach

77
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,920
you how to take your podcast and grow it really big or, you know, something different or, you know,

78
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,240
you're, we don't want your, your podcast to sound like a crappy audio production.

79
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,160
So let's improve your audio quality. You know, something like that. I'm going to take the content

80
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,320
that comes out of chat GPT and I'm going to reformat it so that it sounds more like I am talking.

81
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Now, one of the other things that you can do with, with Canva is you can use it to create text

82
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,440
in there in Canva. And again, Canva is a program that a lot of people, a website that a lot of

83
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:29,360
people, a lot of podcasters are using to generate their episode art or generate their podcast art.

84
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,720
Canva does a lot of things Canva and it's great. And I may eventually do an episode on Canva

85
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,960
specifically because Canva does things really well and they're, they have a lot of templates

86
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:47,200
out there that you can create graphics with and you can create, you can create things, text in

87
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,240
there too and documents and presentations. And so you can, you can even use Canva. Canva has a lot

88
00:09:52,240 --> 00:10:01,280
of AI in it now to write and generate text. Again, I would be careful and I would rewrite all of that.

89
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:08,800
I've used, so the app that I use to live stream this podcast is called Ecamm live. And when I'm

90
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,320
setting up my live streams, I can put a title in there and hit a button and then it'll come back

91
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,840
with AI generated titles that it thinks are important. And it's funny sometimes to listen to

92
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,360
that to go back and figure out, oh, and see what it actually is talking about. Because a lot of

93
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,720
times it, it is close, but it doesn't make sense. Or it'll give you like three different suggestions.

94
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,080
And what I would suggest to do is take a combination of those three and make your own title. Like,

95
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,000
don't just generate and use the title that it's going to use. In fact, for Ecamm, a lot of times

96
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,800
it comes back and it has emojis in the title and things that I wouldn't necessarily do. I'm not

97
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,960
going to put emojis in my podcast episode title or my live stream title. I'm just not going to do

98
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,320
that. And so it's definitely, you definitely want to take that and change that. But again,

99
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,760
now you can, another idea instead of just content ideas for your podcast, and this has actually

100
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:09,840
been a time saver for me, is use an AI art generator. So Canva Premium has an art generator in it,

101
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:17,200
bing.com slash images slash create. You can create 20, you get 25 credits per day to create

102
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,880
content from, from that. And so what it's really cool. In fact, if you look at the episode art for

103
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,440
this episode, this podcast episode, whether you're listening to it in the podcast app,

104
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,800
or you're listening to it on, and watching it on YouTube, the cover art for this episode

105
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:42,000
is actually generated by AI. So I said, generate me an art talking about using AI

106
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,880
in podcast creations. And so I got back this like robot type thing with a microphone hand and a

107
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:55,040
headset. And it was interesting, but I thought it was a great idea to use it for my podcast episode

108
00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,800
art. Because again, I could create those things in Canva. I could ask it for a robot and headset.

109
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:11,200
And I could do that. But it's not necessarily going to be easy and quick. And, and again,

110
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,280
quick and easy come with its downfalls. I mean, if you use something quick and easy,

111
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,560
you get what you actually, you know, put into it. So if you don't put a whole lot into it,

112
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:25,760
and I know all of my, my, you know, artistic friends now are saying, screaming, saying,

113
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:33,120
don't just use AI to generate your, your images. And I agree. But what you can do is in kind of

114
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:39,920
inspire it or use it, but then put your own text on top. Because again, AI doesn't do a super great

115
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:46,480
job. I mean, at, especially doing humans, a lot of times they have extra fingers or extra hands or

116
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:52,080
a hand where it's not supposed to be, or it's just really kind of creepy and strange. And so

117
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:59,360
I would not have it generate people next necessarily, but you can have it generate images. And it

118
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,600
doesn't do text really great either. A lot of times it'll take text and it doesn't look quite right.

119
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:12,080
The words are spelled wrong or, or whatever. So I wouldn't necessarily use AI to generate

120
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:19,280
text in your, your cover art, but you could do that. You could use Canva

121
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,600
and you can create, have it generate the image and then use Canva to put text on top of your,

122
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:33,440
on top of your, your episode art. And so that's just a few things that you can use to, to generate,

123
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:40,080
to use AI in your podcast. So again, tech kind of recovered. Should we use it?

124
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:46,000
I think it's okay to use the, the generated art, however, be aware there may be copyright

125
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,560
possibilities. You know, it could, it, because again, it is just it's pulling and it's using

126
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:56,560
ideas and things from other things that it was trained from. So again, in theory, it shouldn't

127
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:02,000
produce something that's copyrighted, but what happens if I use it to generate my art?

128
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,480
Someone else puts the same prompt in and gets the same thing back. Now I don't know if they will.

129
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,680
I mean, I don't know, I don't think that they will. I think as I've done that before, I've put

130
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:15,360
the prompt in again and I get something completely different. But there's just things to think about.

131
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,680
I think it is okay to generate art, but be aware of possible copyrights. Now

132
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:28,960
for text, I would use it for ideas only. Don't just straight copy it. It might be,

133
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:35,120
be original material too, but be original. People can tell when things are written by AI,

134
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,720
like I was saying in the beginning, I'm not going to describe my wife as somebody that has eyes of

135
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:48,880
the sunset raising out of it. And like those are just not my words. They may be a poet's words.

136
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:57,200
They may be somebody that has good with words, but they're not my words. And so I'm not going to

137
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:03,200
have AI create content for me that I'm just going to straight put out there because that's not my

138
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:09,360
content. I want to be original. Everything that you hear on this podcast is original to me. It's

139
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:16,480
my ideas. And so you're not coming to this podcast to listen to AI's ideas because you can Google

140
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,280
that and you can read that. This is me and talking about my experience. I've been podcasting since

141
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:30,560
2007 and I've gone through a lot of podcasts and I've helped a lot of podcasters. And so I know

142
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:36,560
the ins and outs of podcasting. Well, you could get some of that same thing from asking AI. It's

143
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:42,880
just going to be a generic type of ideas and it may or may not even be right. So I would suggest

144
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:50,240
that you go ahead and use that as ideas, but definitely fact check. Take your podcast and

145
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,440
fact check what it's coming back because it may not even have the correct information. It may give

146
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:03,040
you a URL for something completely wrong or be 100% wrong. I could ask it to talk about who Andy

147
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Layman is and there's 100 or thousands of different Andy Laymans out there and it may not get the

148
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:19,680
right information. So one of the things that you definitely need to do is fact check your

149
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:27,440
episodes, fact check whatever it's coming back with, making sure that it is 100% right

150
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:39,520
and it's 100% in your words because you want to make sure that your podcast is unique. So guys,

151
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:46,160
if you, this podcast is value for value and if you've received any value from the ideas and

152
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,640
topics that I've shared on this podcast, I consider that you give, I ask that you consider giving

153
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:58,160
back some value, either your time, your talent or your treasure. And I'm looking to get a new

154
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,920
Sure SM7B microphone for this podcast setup. I just have a really generic microphone, but I love

155
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:11,120
the sound of the Sure SM7B. And if you want to help contribute to this fund, check out podcast
