London, May 18: UK-based audio journalism app Curio has announced the launch of 'Curio AI', which will let users create personalised audio episodes based on their prompts.
"You can ask Curio AI anything and receive a personalised audio episode created from our extensive collection of handpicked human-narrated journalism. In a world becoming more divided, Curio AI will open your ears to different perspectives and encourage dialogue, not discord," Curio co-founder Govind Balakrishnan wrote in a LinkedIn post.
Currently, in Beta, Curio AI is available for free on the company's iOS app and the web. ChatGPT Lies? Texas Professor Fails Entire Class After AI Chatbot Falsely Claims It Wrote Their Essays.
