Listened to it and yeah... not only is the voice obvious AI, it drops an "It's not just X — it's Y" within the first 20 seconds. Copy-pasted straight from GPT.

Likely safe to assume that everything on this site is AI generated, including the book.

If anyone else was confused, they're referring to the Audio Readers' Briefs. I didn't immediately recognize it as AI. To be honest the voice sounds exactly like my coworker responsible for doing our product video demonstrations.

I skipped through it and heard it pronounce nginx as en-gee-onix and only then did I realize it was fake.

Hi, see the reply to Joel just up this thread for more info on this. It is not presented as "real" it's clearly introduced as a fun AI extra.

You might want to mention this on the website as well, where it's definitely not clear. I also don't see how to navigate from the website to the introduction where it's explained.

That's a good point. I just redid the sample audio to include the opening section that adds that opening track that sets the stage with the positioning I put above.

I appreciate the idea.

You are not talking about the podcast, you might want to be a bit less straight in your claims it is.
