Reddit Experiments with AI to Convert Text Posts into Podcasts and Short Videos

In an effort to diversify content consumption, Reddit is testing a new feature that transforms text posts into audio and video content. This experiment involves adapting certain posts into videos, where artificial intelligence voices read the main post and selected comments. The videos display the text as it's being read by the AI voice, with a disclaimer stating it's a 'Real conversation voiced by AI'. An eight-year-old post from r/boardgames, featuring 101 responses to a request for good road trip games for adults, serves as an example of this AI implementation. Instead of the typical text thread, the post now presents a three-minute video version.
