Reddit’s AI is turning posts into podcasts and short videos

Reddit has launched an experimental feature that uses artificial intelligence to convert text-based posts and their associated comments into audio-visual clips. The tool generates synthetic voices to narrate content, creating a multimedia experience for users who prefer watching or listening to reading. This test follows a broader industry trend of platforms utilizing generative AI to repurpose community-generated text into formats designed for mobile video feeds.
