  • You're listening to 20,000 Hertz, the stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.

  • I'm Dallas Taylor.

  • There's nothing I love more than hearing other people tell amazing stories on 20,000 Hertz.

  • So last year, we held a competition where we invited listeners to send us fully produced short stories about sound.

  • Basically, they were many 20,000 Hertz episodes made by you, our listeners.

  • The results were legit incredible and we ended up filling three entire episodes with those stories.

  • It was such a success that I knew I wanted to do it again.

  • So now, here we are a year later.

  • With another group of outstanding stories.

  • What you're about to hear is the first set of stories from this year, which we'll call the bronze collection.

  • The silver and gold collections will follow later in the summer.

  • Enjoy.

  • Story one by Miles.

  • It's gotten good at a lot of different things.

  • From generating books, generating images, generating videos.

  • It's gotten to the point where it's nearly impossible to differentiate

  • AI-generated content from human-generated content.

  • And that's scary.

  • Nearly every single field and industry is getting impacted by AI in some way or another.

  • But there's this one field that people don't often think about that is getting severely impacted.
