It's decent background noise about a topic of your choice, with transparently fake back-and-forth between two speakers with some meaningless banter. It's kind of impressive for what it is, and it can be useful to people, but it´s clearly still missing important elements that make actual podcasts great

It’s intentionally fine tuned to sound that way because Google doesn’t want to freak people out.

You can take the open source models and fine tune them to take on any persona you want. A lot like what the Flux community doing with the Boring Reality fine tune.
