op here. One of my favorites is Soft Skills Engineering (https://softskills.audio). Check it out if you get the chance!
To end up with a list like OP’s, you typically have heard of popular podcasts, tried them and stopped listening, either unsubscribing or not adding them in a new podcast app.
To ChatGPT the OPML just looks like you overlooked some similar material and it happily fills in the gaps. Integrating with a listener stats data source and capping the max popularity of the recommendations to the minimum popularity in the OPML shows would make it way better.
But while you’re looking at that. How does it compare to the list he handed the bot?
OP’s topics lean more tech and programming related. Reply All is kind of a tech show but as the description implies it’s more of a society show centered around tech topics. It’s also, as grandparent implies, one of the biggest and more mainstream tech ancillary podcasts. It is quite good by the way, if you’ve never listened to it.
I would have wanted more technical and deep cuts based on my recommendations
Finally, have it create a playlist for me that I can import and play without having to manually look up any artists or songs it suggests.

Seems good enough for a first pass at least.
As for the recommendations, I find that surprisingly often it works to tell the bot that. Start by asking it what it’s getting from the list, then correct it before it creates the new one. And ask it to justify itself; if nothing else you’ll be able to skip a few.
