This felt a lot like Naked News but y'know I'd rather look at titties while being given a bland delivery and near robotic gestures.
But AI, so I'm sure naked AI news anchors are right around the corner.
Ha! I remember that. I watched it once or twice for the novelty of it. I seem to recall that it was very bland except for the naked women. According to Wikipedia, they are still around and I think that may be more shocking than this AI news.
As far as news quality goes I think it was actually a good program but the whole "local news" format makes it feel dated and using a green screen 90% of the time makes it feel cheap.
An you'll be able to adjust everything....voice, boob size, feminity or masculinity and muscularity.
Maybe you can make them look exactly like your highschool sweetheart or the lady at the bus stop that you always wanted to talk to. Or for the gay guys and women you can make the guy look like James Bond and he'll even talk to you personally by first name.... Hello there Jonathan, tonight I gotta tell you about this tragic accident at the tallest senior citizen Bolivian rollercoaster.... everyone stood up on a turn. Oh, it was horrible as they all fell 23 stories onto the rocky mountain side right through that fresh La Paz air.
Might even be able to adjust the "facts" they say, given a malicious enough company.
Probably you can set it to Alarming, cutesy, nature news, local mom news, Republican filter, dioses Christian rock band related news. Possibly highschool style news mostly about the hottie you used to like? With proper ads...always Cocaine Cola!...hey Stacey, sho loves it an so should you!
