Yes? It's nothing personal, human women, but once "having a pleasant feminine voice" is something that machines can do more efficiently than humans, why shouldn't those machines be given the job?

Cheaper too I bet.

Sure, you just have to hire a team of AI engineers who's job it is to train the AI on thousands of races and test it and test it and test it. Definitely cheaper than just hiring one human to be an announcer.

Not really. The real power of these LLMs is their ability to understand the written word, context and emotion then generate text based on it.

Bing AI uses search to get its sources and its training to summarise them. It doesn't need to be trained on the specific things it's generating off. It just needs to understand them.

Anyone who used ChatGPT to get information and not generate text was using it wrong. This is a very common misconception.
