I look at it from a consumer of podcasts point of view not a producer. If the content is good and the voice quality is natural then this can only help unlock more good content, by lowering the barrier to entry. Can't see why that is a bad thing. Sure, there will always be the equivalent of content farms, but remember that content farms exist because of Google. Without Google traffic the incentive to create useless content diminishes. Podcasts are not like that. You might be tricked into listening to one episode of an AI content generated (not AI voiced) one but in all likelihood you won't subscribe, removing the incentive.
