    We'll they'll probably need 3 people working full time to setup the AI and decide what it says and fix errors and other stuff. Then at least 4 managers. So thats 7 new jobs.

    Schonely announcing on Spanish radio would be nuts and yes the AI can do it perfectly. My wife colleagues setup test presentations of themselves with AI in other languages.

    Selling Lord of the Rings books prevents someone from spending that money on a new book.

    I don't see a big difference.

    A. I. Mike Rice with A. I. Jack Daniels would be more entertaining.

    They'll just create the all new Schill Bonley. Then nobody is harmed.

    Actually does kind of make me wonder about that, why use a real person when you could use a fictional character or historic figure and pay nothing.

    Maybe Abe Lincoln will be announcing Blazers games next season.

    I do it in my head all the time. I hear you as a cross between Tiny Tim and Peewee Herman.

    Fun fact: Among the broadcast crew, Mike Barretts nickname was Schill Bonley.
