intentional, a socially referenceable way to keep the
AI out of the uncanny valley. I suspect this hobbling is
important for helping a television viewing community
to feel comfortable and to accept such an information source.
While the audio quality does seem like it has a long way to
go, many individuals seem happy to rely on low fidelity
recordings and streams. Digital artifacts, skipping audio
and glitchy video are in some ways the accepted norm.
I would be curious if the video as well as the audio were
generated with
GANs. My first impression is that no
meshes or usual 3d rendering software was used in the
production of this news anchor. It is amazing how far

LOL and computer voices haven't improved much since the System 7 days of Apple. LOL they all sound like Hawking and or the Dalek.. Question: is this AI the computer game sense? AI the Autobots, or Terminator sense? Where it can possibly think on it's feat when New, news comes or correct itself?
Or like a computer game AI just crashes in some awkward way, or amusing way?

Nice font with the subtittles though, it has some issues with visual artifacts and the fancy speak 'uncanny valley' where you know somethings fake, but part of your brain doesn't know how to sort out the fakeness.

I didn't look very hard. But I didn't find any papers or descriptions of the bot. My guess is it's like game AI.It may only be "AI" in the relation between the facial expressions and the text being read. It would be much more fun to give it some poetry or comedy to read... maybe some Slayer lyrics. 8^)
