The first AI Anchor has gone online and this must be the beginning of the end.

Think about it, an Anchor that doesn’t complain out face time on the newscast, never takes a vacation day and never calls in sick or takes a two-hour lunch.

Also, no selfies!!!!!

The only thing that will never change?

When this AI Anchor is not on the air, it’s just sitting there doing nothing.

Some things in TV news will never change.
