“What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?”

Wages. They’re trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

      I don’t even know what it can do that’s useful. The prompter maybe, and captioning if you’re feeling frisky and don’t mind airing something insane by accident.

      But what, you’re going to let an AI handle chyrons and cut-ins? I did briefly work at a TV station and back then we had two separate continuity guys and three redundant automated sources for all canned content just to make sure you never got a black frame. I once saw a guy get fired for three seconds of dead air in a commercial break because at least back then absolutely any mistake around commercials was a huge, automatic money loss.

      I absolutely believe you when you say it’s degraded, because… well, again, Youtube and Netflix, but at most you can… you know, cut one of the two guys so you can still fire the other when the AI plugs in something random instead of an ad.

      Alright, let me rephrase that. You can definitely cut more than that, but you’re probably going to have to un-cut that pretty fast when some AI claims that someone is an international art thief in a chyron or something.
