in all manner of situations,
and here is one more, now so good that Government organizations and broadcasters are using them to
replace actual humans and save money, meet J-na, in her weekly YouTube program, Jeju Weekly, the
provincial government of Jeju Island, in South Korea, the computer-generated
virtual avatar managed was made by a private contractor, the news she appears
to read on-screen is also a script generated by AI language models like
ChatGPT according to the island province, switching to a virtual news anchor
was a much cheaper option, as J-na and the news generation script reportedly
cost only 600,000 won per month, at today’s rate £354.60 or $447.00,
“Employing human news presenters incurs significant costs,
so we sought an alternative and opted for J-na,” a Jeju Island official
told The Korea Herald, although J-na is currently in charge of
delivering the news on a YouTube channel, the low cost of a virtual news anchor and the increase in quality is
sure to make this sort of service appealing to cable news programs as well,
lets face it, no bathroom breaks, no paying for holidays, health care or hissy
fits! It is a win, win situation I would guess for almost any service.
