Like a radio disc jockey, DJ offers a curated selection of music narrated by AI-powered spoken commentary.Futuri CEO Daniel Anstandig tells Axios his company created RadioGPT to "save radio, not compete with it."
"Our research shows that seven out of 10 air shifts around the world are already unmanned with generic production or voice tracking," Anstandig says. "What we're looking to do is augment a station's ability to fill its programming with more live and local content."Much as we've seen as ChatGPT has gained attention, RadioGPT raises concerns about AI costing people their jobs.
"What made terrestrial radio appealing was the unique personalities of disc jockeys," longtime Cleveland radio executive John Gorman, who ran stations like WMMS and oWow Radio, tells Axios.

Oh come on you can't be fucking serious.

the “DJ” has no emotion to it’s voice, it’s clearly a computer talking
So, a supercomputer version of pushing 'shuffle'?
Sounds like a horrific nightmare
They actually call AInlive and local content. Truth and reality just isnt a thing. Just say whatever.
By transform, they mean firing thousands of people like me. Awesome!
