Help me put into words/clear thoughts why autogenerating a podcast with 2 AI voices to talk about the photos on your phone is weird? (hexbear.net)

So imagine you have a bunch of photos on your phone, and then some software finds all your photos from your recent vacation to Brazil, automatically creates a slideshow out of it, and then generates a video where while the slideshow is scrolling, there's 2 AI podcast hosts talking about your life in the photos. Specifically in this scenario, the vacation to Brazil

One clear reason I can piece together is that it's narcissistic to want 2 AI humans to talk about your own photos like that

But there's also something deeply unsettling about this that I can't exactly piece together. I'm not against generating an AI podcast for like study notes or something for you to listen to while driving or cooking, but it's super weird if it's on your own photos right?

Is it the fact that it's weird to just listen to AI voices talk about your photos and yourself? Like it's some sort of artificial social interaction?
