In this episode of the Treble Victor Podcast, the podcast especially for Treble Victor Group members and prospective members, we are taken on a discussion of a recent academic study using massive amounts of US Military data that shows the link between post-service thriving and regular exercise. While this is interesting regardless of the delivery mechanism it is useful to note that the entire main conversation is AI generated.  It is a very natural sounding conversation between two bots who are summarizing the academic paper and making it very accessible to the layperson.  The academic who brought this to my attention was very impressed at how well it drew out the most salient points in the paper.  AI created this conversation in about two minutes. We hope that you both enjoy the content and are impressed by the quality of the current state of AI in this realm. See you next time.  Subscribe to the pod wherever you get your podcasts so that you never miss one when they drop.
