Reddit’s AI is turning posts into podcasts and short videos

Reddit is experimenting with converting some text posts and comments into short videos using AI voices. The clips highlight the text as it is read and disclose that the content is a "Real conversation voiced by AI."

The test shows Reddit exploring AI repackaging to make its archive of text discussions more accessible and easier to consume on mobile. It could help Reddit compete with video-first platforms, but may also raise questions about consent, attribution, and how communities feel about their posts being reused.
