Some of your favorite 'on-air' media personalities have been replaced with AI versions of themselves

And you didn't even know it...


What will they say next?


Licensing your identity - or controlling your own AI version of yourself without having to show up at the office. A work from home on air talent.


Some of us are aware of this and some of you may not be aware of the entire scope of this as delivery of streaming content material can be manipulated again on another level at the point of delivery to a target audience in a streaming environment. For example, a content consumer in one demographic may receive program content, such as spoken dialog during a news broadcast, that includes alternate versions of the program material such as a different script.


Streaming content delivery can be manipulated midstream, altering the original content material targeted toward a specific audience to 'personalize' the experience - an end user 'watching' program material may receive a different version of the original program material in an effort to 'customize' the experience for the end user based on 'user preferences.'


The media personalities themselves may or may not be aware of this due to the preference of selective interpretation of language in contracts regarding work-for-hire or other performance rights that overlap with network broadcast agreements, for example.


The terms of service for their individual contract agreements may not be subject to change at any time without notice, however, the tech related or software connected to the AI or other tech tools used by the networks have a a separate set of user agreements that may be subject to terms of service that are subject to change at any time without notice.


During a news media broadcast, for example, the addition or subtraction of one or two words can change the entire reality, perception or factual basis of the material being delivered.


Assets of the network. The network uses AI tools. The Fountain of Youth that can stream your beauty forever and ever even long after you are gone. And they can make you say or make people think you said anything they want.


This can happen mid-stream. For example, if a favorite news broadcaster appears in a segment on a YouTube video, the preferences for content delivery can be refined as such so that when the personality views their own video, or a video with them in it, it appears one way, but when an end user of the content views the video, it can be manipulated in a way that is specific to a designated target audience. This can alter the perception of the personality directed toward a certain audience in a favorable or unfavorable light depending on the motivation of the entity that controls the distribution of the content material.


This can make not only reporting on, for example, a highly publicized investigation difficult for reporters, but also members of law enforcement conducting the investigation as this technology can be used to disrupt party to party communications both between the individuals involved in the investigation and the individuals reporting on the investigation as well. And then, of course, there is the third layer of manipulation that can take place when the content is finally delivered to the end user.


The personalities, reporters, law enforcement and the end user may all be unaware that this is happening. A platform may claim it is unaware that this is happening. This can be executed with or without knowledge of 3rd party interference.


Think about it like disinformation ad campaigns that target manipulate the delivery of content material to distort how the the information is received by a targeted end user demographic.


This does not have to be executed in a wide swath all at once in order to be effective. One or two manipulated words during the delivery (not the recording) of a highly visible news video on a social media platform on election day, for example, can influence voter turnout toward a hyper targeted demographic just enough to accurately predict the outcome of an election.


Some of your most trusted news pundits are literally phonies. Not necessarily a bad deal if you license your identity and let your persona ride on autopilot while collecting a paycheck. As long as you do not care who controls the words that come out of your mouth.


the syntax is a dead giveaway
