    What else does a racecar reporter have to do? There’s only so many ways you can say the cars are going round in circles.

      Never really watched racing, have you…

          But any insight it might have about racing is not its own, and so it may not feel genuine to someone who knows it’s AI. It’s nice to have former racers as commentators because they give you information that few other people have, like Martin Brundle for example.

          Some AI could say the same stuff, but you’d know it was coming from a computer, not experience. Maybe that would change over time, but I’m not convinced.

      Such a Brave Little Toaster.

      So should be pretty easy for a human to do then right? A lot easier than training an AI model to be able to spontaneously describe what’s happening on the race track at any given moment.
