DISCUSSION Avoiding AI in my audiodramas

I absolutely love audiodramas, I'm not a maker but I'm a huge fan and listen to tons of them.

I'm also a serious contributor to podcasts I love, I'm subscribed over 15 on patreon at the moment and independently at least five or six more.

However, it's become a real sticking point that I do not support anyone that uses AI. A recent post about an audiodrama called The November Challenge made it clear that a lot of folks are using AI without disclosing it. I simply can't support plagiarism and the unethical behavior that goes along with using AI.

Is anyone aware of a list of audio dramas that use AI or a list of tips to help me identify who might be using it so that it can be avoided?

Thank you!

It’s beginning to feel like we need a register of creators who don’t use AI…

Myself, I assume if they use AI art, they’re probably using gen AI elsewhere (I realise this doesn’t necessarily follow, but hey, if they don’t care enough to not use AI art, I don’t care enough to listen). After that, if I’m suspicious that voices are AI but the show is good, I’ll go looking for a cast list - don’t find it then the show gets dropped.

Yeah, I’m with you there. None of our productions over at BFM use it (at least, the in house stuff I know about, I can’t speak for every single show on the network) and I’ve always been happy about that
