I read a story on CBC the other day that was all about how an AI voice was taking over from hosts on off-hours at some local radio station, then deeper in the article it revealed that everything the "AI" reads was written by a human. So it was about someone using text-to-speech technology that has been around since at least the 70s the whole time. Hardly newsworthy in any way except for "IT'S AI!"

Mind you there -are- TTS tools that use machine learning (which is what advertisers call "AI" now) for more realistic voices. No idea if the radio was using those at all though.
