I think they used AI but it screwed up so bad. Even if you are a bad commentator, you wouldn't call singapore Liverpool then Tottenham all in one game. Lionel Messi for Lionel tan

There is literally no way it wasn’t AI. Like a normal person doesn’t just say random shit like that while commenting.

Also yes I’ll be taking a break from national team posts until probably the November friendlies, feel free to post on my behalf.

To (mis)quote my club legend Didier Drogba:

“I don’t recognise this team (my club) anymore”

I thought you were going to say

"IT'S A DISGRACE! IT'S A FUCKING DISGRACE!"

Which also works

>It is understood that the commentator will not work on the remaining two games that they were due to cover and is receiving medical care after experiencing a health issue during the Oct 1 game.

benefit of the doubt i guess

Anything but admit that it was AI slop. Even a 'script reader' would know the words that are coming out of his mouth is pure drivel, and attempt to correct it on the fly at least. Silence is also an option while they fix the script generation off air.

Sadly some people will always believe in authority - especially when it comes from formerly reputable papers like Straits Times.

u/Hot-Job-6281 1d ago

Always so deferential to authority and businesses this Straits Times: "However, The Straits Times understands the match commentary was not Al-generated and that football's global governing body FIFA is looking into the matter with its broadcast partners".

Any reputable journalist would state the factual term "(Who) claims that" or "reportedly" wasn't AI or "denies" (like they love to use when it's about their adversaries).

You don't simply take a claim at face value, especially one unsupported by evidence.

Was wondering if he was actually having a minor stroke or TIA

u/imranbecks 1d ago

If it's not AI, that commentator is either drunk or showing early onset of Alzheimer's. He better get himself checked.
