This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I wonder if they'll cry "the AI did it!" when the chat bot hallucinates up some random misinformation.
I watched the whole thing. I think most anchors talked a bit too slow which seemed fake. Those hand gestures were weird especially for (I don't know his name) the black anchor. Very rigid fingers.
The main cringe section was the movie section where they tried to have the black anchor act sassy but that's hard with a very level speaking tone and speed.
Honestly, I'd watch something like that once a week.it was nice to get a broad cross section of news.
Brings a new meaning to POV that "The real Journalists are doing print"
This is wild. I almost wonder if it’s actually a real thing or an elaborate hoax. It’s impressive in either case.
As far as the concept of AI news, there are obvious drawbacks but also some advantages. In particular, the anchors are less animated and emotional, which eliminates quite a bit of bias. Cable news anchors with their incredulity, snide remarks, and expressions have done a lot to help ruin the news. That alone can easily undermine a story or a guest in a way that causes the audience to pick a side.
The idea of using AI to scour public records and create stories is another really cool idea. There’s so much out there and not enough reporters with the time or inclination to investigate everything.
I’m not too keen on the AI generated imagery, although traditional news outlets essentially do the same thing. It’s a dangerous thing to be presented with artificial pictures and videos in a news format. Before long, you can’t distinguish between reality and artificial, which is more or less the same problem a significant portion of the country has had since the 2016 election. In that case, they were mostly fed stupid memes and fabricated stories on social media. This is a completely different level. In the wrong hands, this is a weapon of mass destruction.
So people are just going to be blatantly lied to and exposed to completely made up deepfakes, and no one cares.
Yeah, that tracks.

Me waiting for the news channels and free lance writers to start asking them for money for all of this. Also fact checking is already non-existent in news is going to get so much worse. Can't wait for this to start up their own tik tok account.
