I feel like it was inevitable, with the recent buzz around NotebookLM. I'm just surprised that it hasn't been done yet.

Next step- create an HNN news network with chyrons and AI news anchors that you can have running on the TVs in your office 24/7 the way banks have CNBC and Bloomberg News running

I would actually use that, especially if it had hourly summaries of the days news like some real news networks do, so you don’t have to watch all day but could just chuck it on when convenient.

The best part about these AI-reads-content things is the potential to let users do things like choose the voice, the talking speed, etc. As a non-American I hate listening to those American talking-head news channels because it’s jarring for me when I’m used to my own accent, even if I do want to catch up on some current events or something.
