   The dystopian world of an entirely AI-generated newsroom means that privileged men can continue to own and control everything but still give the appearance of diversity.
   
   "News anchors" can be of all ages and backgrounds, and there can be 50% women presenting. The men in control can of course also give each woman exactly "the personality they want" and decide what they wear.
   
   The men will definitely be applauded for their diversity efforts.
   
   When I say in my talks that much of this forward motion is bringing us back in time, this is the type of "innovation" I am referring to.

     Actually, this is a case in point for prohibiting AI generated anchor(wo)men, etc.

     We greatly rely on the looks of a person when evaluating a piece of information.
     If this information is utterly misleading, as in the case of AI persons this constitutes, in my view, a new kind of #DeepFake.
     Better to go back to the voice-only radio 📻 and audio podcasts, then. (Though that doesn't eliminate racial and gender bias completely either.)

     This is deeply disturbing.

     Quite likely.
     #Enshittenment / #Enshittification is rife.

     I think, though, that #humanity has experienced something similar before with the advent of #newspapers.
     Branding /the #handle/ #URL will become very important.
     I could actually see a sort of "white listing" feature, where the user predetermines which sources (s)he finds of good repute.

     @HistoPol @axbom ...where you'll be getting AI-generated voices.
