An AI-generated radio host in Australia went unnoticed for months
- vunderba 2y agoFrom the article: > Its owner, ARN Media, confirmed to the Financial Review that while Thy is AI-generated, the host’s voice and likeness are modeled after an actual employee in the company’s financial department. Thy’s voice was created with the AI voice generator ElevenLabs. I get that it's a cloned voice, but it's a little unclear if the actual spoken content itself was: - LLM generated - Written by humans - A mixture of both
- Gee101 2y agoWould it not cost more if they had to get humans to write out all the content instead of just having a human DJ?
- staticautomatic 2y agoWriters are cheaper than hosts and typically both are union members.
- cibyr 2y agoGiven how inane pretty much everything on commercial radio is, I'm not surprised nobody noticed.
- kunzhi 2y agoI think it's more that it's Australia. I visited once and literally all that was on the radio was Rugby League and Vegemite.
