Product Hunt Daily Digest
March 31st, 2024

Huge news today so let’s dive in.

🗣️OpenAI is testing a new model that recreates a person’s voice from a 15s recording. Product Hunt is one of the first to gain access to this model. Say “Here kitty kitty kitty” now to activate it.

✍️Yahoo’s Creator Program will let lifestyle writers publish under Yahoo News.

🎙️Google Podcasts is shutting down after capturing only 4% of US listeners.

Let’s be honest: AI-generated content is both incredible and sucks. It can clear brain fog in seconds but is also littering the internet.

In fact, earlier this month Google recognized just how bad your search experience is and announced some fine-tuning to their search algorithms to combat AI-generated content. Google will now downrank sites where AI is producing thousands of low-quality articles a day.

While I’m glad to see the changes, I will give it to Google that it's facing an uphill battle. Weeding out spam is like fighting a proliferating Agent Smith.

That’s why products like Arbor and Circle to Search catch my attention. They give you your own tools to save yourself from spam because even Neo needed some programs to learn Kung Fu.

Arbor’s mission is “to reindex the internet and save it from AI-generated SEO articles.” It aggregates and summarizes content across the web while duplicating and clustering content. For instance, it will give you a summary of a news event from all articles on the same topic and can highlight the differences between articles, too.

Circle to Search caught my eye because it took a familiar IRL action of circling content and powered it by AI. Though this tool is not as directly focused on spam content like Arbor is, it could definitely help you cut right to the chase — just circle an image of a steak to get results from recipes to Wikipedia articles on the topic, skipping Google entirely.

Try them out or stay stuck in a matrix of bots. The choice is yours.
