Artisan presenters



Channel 4’s Dispatches claims to be the first to use AI presenter

The programme, Will AI Take My Job? aired Monday evening, investigating AI automation's impact on sectors from law to medicine.

Viewers discovered at the show's close that its host, Aisha Gaban, was entirely AI-generated.


Interesting how essential it was to tell any viewers who made it to the end of the show that the presenter was AI-generated. This may give us an clue to the angle likely to be pursued by human presenters. 

Like artisan bread, crusty artisan presenters will be deemed superior to soggy machine-produced presenters. Much the same as artisan bread.

But machine produced sliced white bread is cheap... will we be given any choice by the mainstream press (including newspapers)? Perhaps 'blogs' and 'substack' will become the equivalent of artisan bakeries that rely on discriminating customers.

I remember Max Headroom, not quite AI but aiming that way.
