Virtual Fools
Virtual Fools is the first podcast named, written, and hosted by AI.
It was a creative project by the Creative Services team at Oxford Road from February to September 2023 with the goal of exploring how much of a podcast can be generated with AI, one episode at a time, with as little human intervention as possible.
From the artwork to the music to the editing to the voices and more.
AI-powered creative tools used so far: ChatGPT, WellSaidLabs, Descript, Podcastle, CleanVoice.ai, Beatoven.ai, and StableDiffusionWeb.
