Honestly, I don't even think I care. I like Al Michaels, but written recaps are fine for the events I miss anyway. An emulated voice can do this as well as a person. At least when I worry about AI-generated slop replacing quality entertainment content, it's not the recap I'm thinking of. As long as the recap is of real competitive events that were actually contested between humans, so be it. Software-generated voice can replace a talking head reading off a result sheet, but it can't replace the Olympics themselves.
- soco 2y agoI'm sure any human could have done those recaps, it's not like Michaels was some Nobel prize winner commenter. And even if he was, he definitely wasn't the only one. Instead of hiring another person they just wanted to cut costs, and it's all a race to the very bottom of the bottom of the bottom.
