GMA Network’s latest attempt at integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into media production has stirred up controversy and negative reactions from social media users. The network recently announced the debut of AI sportscasters for the NCAA Season 99 men’s basketball tournament. However, many people find this innovation “alarming” and “unsettling,” expressing concerns about the lack of human emotion in AI commentary and the potential impact on job opportunities for skilled broadcasters. PBA star Javee Mocon even joked about losing his job as a commentator due to the AI sportscasters. GMA’s Facebook post about the AI project has received over 11,000 shares and 30,000 reactions, with the majority being “Sad” and “Angry.” Despite the backlash, GMA Network sees this AI project as a groundbreaking initiative that promotes inclusivity and wider service to the nation. The AI sportscasters, Maia and Marco, are expected to debut at the NCAA Season 99 opening ceremony. As the controversy continues to unfold, the question arises: Is the future of sports commentary in the hands of AI? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
