So it's really only English language content.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

And honestly, that's probably just a training problem.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

So if we were training the models on specific languages and not just X-Voice per se, I think that would have been totally possible.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

And again, the largest problem today is the cost per minute would be too high for most podcasts.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

I think you guys could actually support it probably with your model, but the average podcaster couldn't.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

You know, I don't know if you guys have seen this, but like Mr. Beast has like a Spanish language channel.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

I don't know if he has like a French one, et cetera, but he certainly has a Spanish language.

Acquired

Computer translated or humans re-recording?

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

I think it's humans re-recording it at the moment, but it's huge.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

I think it may have like 15, 20% more subscribers, additional subscribers, not more than what the English language one has.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

So it's like a really...

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

a really big deal.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

And I think that's like the next step, right?

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

Like where, where, you know, in your case, like why wouldn't you take the LVMH episode and make it all in French or whatever?

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

Yeah, I mean, I think we're only in the beginning, obviously.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

And that's hugely exciting for creators like yourself.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

But it's also scary, right?

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

Because it's totally possible for us to make an entire episode where we're saying totally different things than what we're saying now.

Acquired
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

And it, at some point in the future, might be virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
