For all the hype over generative artificial intelligence, how far has AI really advanced? Where is the new line between humanity and technology, and what does it mean for the future of our daily lives and work?

GeekWire is exploring these questions in our Bot or Not series, and this week on the GeekWire Podcast, we share and assess the preliminary results of an experiment that we\\u2019ve been doing as part of this effort. We created AI voice clones for GeekWire\'s John Cook and Todd Bishop, and had those clones read an AI-generated podcast script.

You can hear a short clip from this experiment in the first segment of this week\\u2019s episode, followed by reactions from our colleague Kurt Schlosser, and from John, who was hearing his own voice clone for the first time.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a more in-depth look at this process and the larger issues raised by AI voice cloning as part of our Bot or Not series.
