A partnership with OpenAI will let podcasters replicate their voices to automatically create foreign-language versions of their shows.

Bigger audience sure, but I'd imagine there's a fee for the translation as well, or some other catch.

I don't like making assumptions, but knowing Spotify almost certainly.

They might offer it for free at first but once a couple of people publicly make bank they'll make it a premium charge and dangle it front of hopefuls, no doubt in my mind.

Or, knowing Spotify, they will just do it anyway and just quietly increase their cut.
