Listen "45: Can AI Replace Scientific Podcasters?"

Episode Synopsis

What happens when you hand the mic to artificial intelligence and ask it to run a journal club? Can it replace us, scientific podcasters, in our efforts to make scientific papers more accessible? In this episode, we explore how AI breaks down a neuroscience paper. We’ll see how it summarizes the research, points out the big takeaways, and even tries to critique the study. Can a computer really capture the curiosity, skepticism, and creativity of human researchers or do scientists still do it better? Tune in to find out what AI gets right, what it misses, and what this experiment says about the future of science communication.
