So the NFL can bring back Madden/Summerall for the game of the week on Fox? Jon Miller and Joe Morgan for Sunday night baseball? Bill Walton for college basketball games?
For Al Michaels, this is good. For NBC, this is outstanding. For the average viewer, this will probably be a little distracting, but eventually with future revision, largely unnoticeable. For a young sportscaster (who might be named Brodie) who might have hopes of one day calling Olympic action for NBC, this is disastrous. If real Al Michaels retires, someone levels up to take his place. And someone levels up to take that person's place. And eventually that young broadcaster gets called up to work the games. But now when AI AL can never retire, that never happens. Plus, AI AL can call more events than real-life Al ever could've.
I wondering why we have A.I. doing things like this and art and music instead of working on solving actual human problems. Humanity is what makes art, music, film, and broadcasting so great. We don’t need A.I. for this at all.
It will solve many things from all aspects of life. It's something we will just have to all accept. If Ai can do what a human can do more effectively it will ultimately replace the human.
@@j.r.weaver9110at doing certain jobs absolutely. Look at how many jobs the internet has replaced throughout the years. Similar things will happen. I work with Ai daily and its progressing crazy fast
This is not a problem for Al Michaels or other established sportscasters. However, Ai certainly will take over, and we’ll miss out on the AI Michaels of the future, and it will eventually morph into something samey and lifeless.
Al Michaels is and has been one of the best since the old Monday Night Football programs on ABC back in the day, with the late Frank Gifford, and Dan Dierdorf, which I used to watch every week with my dad when I was younger. As well as the current Sunday Night Football programs, with the late John Madden, and recently with Cris Collinsworth, that I still watch today. Al will always be remembered as one of the best sports casters out there.
I've dealt quite a bit with A.I .in the couple of years, including audio/video A.I. Al is most likely right in that it's "98% Al Michaels". It will be the 2% that sticks out the most and I don't think most fans will be forgiving of NBC when it comes to the end result. The issues with voice-to-mouth synchronization, facial expressions, incorrect phrasing, etc. will stand out and there's no way that humans will be able to check everything on that kind of a scale. This has the potential to be an all-time broadcast network decision failure. Luckily for Al, he's so iconic that he should come out of this relatively unscathed, and even if he gets any blowback from this, he's nearly 80 so he doesn't really have a lot to lose by being a part of this. From his perspective, it makes a lot of sense.
@@brodiebrazil : true, but I see this being one of those things where someone says "THIS IS AMAZING!" and wants to implement AV yesterday. It's quite common in tech.
Would've rather had an announcer that would've needed the experience. I guess that'd "be an expensive venture that the network doesn't want to take" (Or code for "As a network, we're cutting 'expenses' for profits for a better bottom line"). The conversation by most crowds around AI is negative. I'll never understand why cooperate execs love AI so much when people who need to pay rent would do the job a thousand times better than some generated script thumped out by an algorithm.
This definitely seems like something that is morally playing with fire. Right now, it seems to be fine, but what if God forbid he passes away and the model is still used by NBC or more likely a 3rd party. It would be like the AI Tupac or Biggie songs that feel like it's someone playing with a corpse
Basically it’s Al Michaels as if he was broadcasting the Olympics on a PS4* game. *-there hasn’t been a licensed Olympic game released since 2020. It was on a PS4.
It's already an issue in Hollywood... AI was one of the big fights, the big studios wanted own extras / background actors images in perpetuity, that they could re-use in other films. I know that James Earl Jones and his estate have already reached and agreement with Disney / Lucasfilm that they can use pre-existing sound bites to AI-generate future voice performances. Being that broadcasters are part of SAG, better start looking hard at your next NBC contract. :)
Will the A.I. be programmed to do that thing broadcasters do where they start a sentence at a normal rate of speech and then…slow down…for no reason…at the end?
I need time to think about this. I’ve spent a lot of time with AI since major wrist surgery and I’ve seen the major benefits. However, I need to see the career paths A.I. creates. Ie. Will it create a bottleneck for up and coming talent who could be getting their hours in doing these recaps? Music created with samples, loops and auto tune have already crushed an industry I assumed I’d always work in. Will A.I. open opportunities or just annihilate it? Idk.
This stinks- there isn’t any better or new up and coming announcers to help take the spot? Just need a couple more a.i. and in a few years we won’t need any humans to pay to cover sports and the money can now all go back in the broadcasters pockets instead
Thank goodness its Al, and not a buc. How cool for Al , or any of else, our voices can be heard infinitum. The year:2135, Brodies calling the Utah Athletics World Series for his ancient prodigy.
what normal person wants this shit? who still finds this cool? this jetsons dream is a nightmare. if your broadcast isnt worth you having a live person covering it its not worth watching
I don't work at NBC, so I can say it for you. This sucks big time, and it is a crap idea.
So the NFL can bring back Madden/Summerall for the game of the week on Fox?
Jon Miller and Joe Morgan for Sunday night baseball?
Bill Walton for college basketball games?
Just like everyone else, they're coming for your job, Brodie. Nothing could possibly go wrong, go wrong, go wrong....
ai me will be so much better looking too 😳
@@brodiebrazil😂
If they're gonna do this, how about A.I. Howard Cosell for the boxing reports? 😄
a little more difficult to endorse with somebody who has passed already. don't have their consent.
@@brodiebrazil They can ask his son Greg for permission; or whoever in his family is authorized. Seriously though, I was being facetious.
That would certainly be a blast from the past. Howard was unique in sports coverage.

I find this creepy and scary... but that's just me.
It's not just you. Just wait until you are forced to go before an A.I. judge....
And in unrelated news, curiosity kills cats.
I like the idea of personalization, what I’d really like is to be able to switch off the filler/ human interest stories.
Same. I don’t need to hear how every athlete is overcoming [obstacle] and competing for [dead family member].

@@brodiebrazil Don't worry, satisfaction brings them back!
I love when Brodie is so proud of himself. Whether it’s A.I. Michaels, his overlay Coloring Markers, or love of gradients… he’s our A.I. Peter Pan.

The only AI I’m for is medical /disease research and finding cures though algorithms etc. Keep it out of art & sports.

I think voice only avoids a lot of deeper technical & logistical complications.
@@brodiebrazil : true, but I see this being one of those things where someone says "THIS IS AMAZING!" and wants to implement AV yesterday. It's quite common in tech.
It's 98% for now. Give it a year or two and it will be 100% very easily

I'm sure if this doesn't work, it will fade into history
If I get to decide what my voice is used for and what it cannot be used for be, paid appropriately, etc I'd absolutely sign off on it.
Al is the greatest sportscaster of my lifetime. Tarnishing his career, and pissing on my fondest sports memories is not cool NBC. 😡

So, it seems the movie "The Congress" has come to pass. The dystopian nightmare marches on.
No algorithm is ever going to replace you Brodie!
haha, you never know
At least it's not Matt Lauer.
What I want is an AI Dan Rusanowsky to read my emails to me.
Basically it’s Al Michaels as if he was broadcasting the Olympics on a PS4* game.

Dystopia is so much stupider than I was expecting...
It's bad but we aren't close to how bad it's going to get.
Robots replaced many factory workers, and they will replace all of us eventually.
It's creepy as fuck.

AI is going to put mankind out of business.
Next; depopulate the planet.
"I work for NBC." Not for long. AI will replace you before too long.
AI should not be used for this. People connect with people and not AI generated systems. Yet another reason to not watch NBC.
I need time to think about this. I’ve spent a lot of time with AI since major wrist surgery and I’ve seen the major benefits. However, I need to see the career paths A.I. creates.

AI is coming for Broadcasters, Newscasters, Voice Actors & Movie Actors, Animators. Also Playwrights, Book/Movie Authors, Script Writers etc.
Good.
So if NBC did AI on you would it be… Brodie BrAIzil? 😏😉
or, just: Ryan Seacrest....? 😳
@@brodiebrazil if that’s the case, I can’t wait to watch you host Wheel of Fortune in the fall! 😎👍😃
Enjoy your adult take on things. Not jumping instantly to freak out or indignation, but keeping curious.
That sucks
Thank goodness its Al, and not a buc. How cool for Al , or any of else, our voices can be heard infinitum. The year:2135, Brodies calling the Utah Athletics World Series for his ancient prodigy.
The interesting possibility is that A. I. Michaels could be speaking multiple languages. But it still seems very creepy and dangerous.
As long as NBC/Universal gets Al’s blessing and is paying him or he could go full Scarlett Johansson on them.
what normal person wants this shit? who still finds this cool? this jetsons dream is a nightmare. if your broadcast isnt worth you having a live person covering it its not worth watching
This is an insult to humanity
I love the A.I. Michaels joke! 🤣
I don't understand the point
Who makes that shirt? That’s a really nice shirt!
hah, thanks! lululemon
You can retire off your UA-cam Channel?! Good on you, Are you going to have reports from Paris too?
Huh? I have a broadcast job to hopefully retire from someday.
@@brodiebrazil love ya man! Please continue your coverage of The Utah __________ and anything in Arizona hockey. Thanks!
