Brings a new meaning to POV that “The real Journalists are doing print”

This garbage video contains the clip.

Here’s a marker to the promotional video embedded in the junk; youtu.be/yRFDG1QltBI?t=29

If it means the end of overpaid talking heads then I’m all for it.

MrPoopbutt ,

So the executives will be overpaid by the amount the talking heads made plus the amount they were already overpaid by

grayman ,

They’ll get rid of everyone. It will just be a few at the top that already have power and money. A more efficient version of what we have today.

ech ,

“More efficient” in that there is zero point to be opposed by anyone else down the line. While it’s not like we’re getting a lot of resistance from media workers all the time right now, real people are going to have a breaking point if things go too far in some direction. Now all executives will need to worry about is appeasing an audience, and with robot reporters that will say anything and everything, that’s not a problem in the slightest.

…what the fuck is Channel 1?

jayandp ,

Looks like it’ll be one of those free streaming channels on things like Pluto TV. So not an actual TV channel.

Their hand moments took me out instantly. Just the same opening and closing of hands with some variation thrown it made it feel weird.

RainfallSonata ,

The voices had a weird pacing, too. They sounded very close to real but just not quite, in an uncanny-valley sort of way.

Fucking hell we’re at the point of having Eliza Cassan from Deus Ex Human Revolution be reality aren’t we

Okay… so honest question: how long did it take for you to close the linked video?

In my case it was about 45 seconds. The weird hands/body language creeped me out and when combined with the synthetic voices I just couldn’t take it.

I got to about two and a half minutes before I shut it off.

berg ,

I saw it all, albeit without audio. It honestly didn’t look that bad to me. They seemed a bit stiff and something was off with the hand gestures, other than that it was visually passable to me.

I wonder how they did it though, and how procedural it can get.

MojoMcJojo ,

It’s only going to get better. Soon you won’t be able to tell.

Shazbot ,

I’m convinced the AI had the hand on a loop. It’s like watching someone’s first presentation in speech and debate class. It will look better eventually, but I doubt it’ll figure out the subtle emphasis great body language adds to speech.

I watched about 10 minutes before I got bored

Magrath ,

The voice didn’t sync up to the lips and hand gestures when I watched it. That was enough for me.

PsychedSy ,

Even AI have no clue what to do with their hands.

I’m waiting for the youth version where the anchor is dropped into an endless runner game.

Joker ,

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.

What if AI generates ugly people?

Kylamon1 ,

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.

Kiernian ,

If they make one of them look and speak like Morbo the Annihilator, I might actually watch.

Like, with the anti-human sentiment and everything.

First Anchor: And today, a local law firm files the first lawsuit in a series over a deadly salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupe.

Morbo: Next time, we will put the salmonella in more than just the canteloupe.

or maybe:

Morbo: Canteloupe tonight, Bridegroom has the runs!

Wonderful. Nothing will help people differentiate between real, trustworthy news and fake opinion-laden disinformation like AI generated people and content!

/s for the kids in the back.

mPony ,

pour one out for the kids in the back.

foggy ,

Yeah, In gonna need names of everyone who contributed a dollar to that before I use it as a news source.
