Odisha TV in Eastern India unveiled chatbot named Lisa that wears a sari, and reads aloud the news in Odia, the local tongue. At first glance the lazy eye would think Lisa is real, but upon further investigation the voice sounds monotone and lifeless, along with the AI’s slow blinking eyes and gestures.
In April Hindi-spoken news channel Aaj Tak, owned by the India Today group, one of the biggest media corps in the nation, debuted a chatbot called “Sana.”
Sometimes Sana has been used in tandem with actual living pundits, reading headlines and then passing the conversations to real people who further debate the news, while Sana facilitates the discussions.
In a statement to South China Morning Post, Vivek Malhotra, head of marketing and strategy at India Today, said:
It’s a question of more efficiency in the newsroom and enhancing the creativity of our staff by removing mundane and repetitive tasks. Sana can speak in multiple languages, switch between topics with ease and is never tired.
As a newsroom, we have to stay at the frontier of all new technologies, and so we will be experimenting and adopting all that AI has to offer.
He said
Jagi Mangat Panda, managing director of Odisha TV, added that,
Lisa is going to be a great partner. [It] does the jobs that are repetitive and data analytical, so newspeople can focus on new angles and more creative work.
‘Supporters of the AI news presenters point to the advantages of 24 hour news coverage, linguistic diversity, and the ability to process vast amounts of data – live election results or financial updates – at high speed,’ the SCMP wrote. But people like Sevanti Ninan, who headed a portal that tracks and monitors media trends and press freedom, has her doubts that AI can capture the real thing, for now that is.
AI chatbots will save costs and they can be used for headlines, but I don’t see how they can replace a reporter out in the field asking questions. What they will do to the concept of star anchors is too soon to say.
She said

AI broadcasters and chatbots are beginning to takeover media rooms all over the world.
In April The WinePress reported on Kuwait’s new AI-generated reporter called “Fedha.”
Moreover, in late-December the British National Health Service’s (NHS) Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) debuted a new care system that would accelerate response times, but was explained by several different life-like AI models presenting the information.
The list continues. China has been using AI reporters since 2018.
More recently in March Chinese People’s Daily unveiled an AI chatbot that operates 24/7, Insider reported.
In May Malaysian outlet Astro AWANI debuted male and female AI bots “Joon” and “Monica,” which can speak a variety of languages.
In June a Taiwanese station unveiled an AI weather forecaster.
Also in June, Indonesia showcased the new “metahumans” and their eventually integration and takeover, Rest of World reported.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
Deuteronomy 4:16; Isaiah 44:13
Beyond the obvious replacement of physical labor and basic functions we do, the underpinnings of this should be acknowledged, that the people are creating their little gods to worship and emulate and be their guide. It’s nothing new really, other than the gods of old were graven, but these are digital and can be erased via a harddrive wipe.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Remember Jacob when you mentioned your prediction that next “plandemic” would involve cutting people from meat and live-stocks. Well, I’m here to share story that people are not aware about alarming situation going in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia where small farmers are pressured to kill off pigs apparently due African swine fever “ravaging” livestock.
I’ll mostly talk about Croatia, I’d like to point this country has many rural lands (most notably, Slavonia region) than any country in Europe, more than Netherlands, that could feed entire Europe if it wasn’t for the fact it is kept being sabotaged for years by globalists sell-off politicians. So let’s get to the story.
Are the stories about the African swine fever that has now appeared in Croatia and Covid similar and perhaps related? Is the mass extinction of pigs aimed at abandoning meat production at all due to an allegedly excessive share in the warming of the planet?
Both diseases are of viral origin, which in both cases mutate. With Covid, we know what variants they used to scare us so that as many people as possible would be vaccinated. There are positive and negative tests for both diseases. The difference is that with pigs, regardless of whether they are positive or negative for this plague, they kill everything, and with humans, in the case of Covid, they did not go all the way to forcefully vaccinate the healthy.
It is known that African swine fever (ASF), as well as ordinary swine fever (SF), are not dangerous for humans. Then why the mass slaughter – at least of those healthy pigs that could be processed instead of being waste with heat treatment? Why they don’t go after wild hogs instead of pigs, if they are known to be common carrier of swine fever.
Why the government has promised to compensate all producers for the loss of pigs. No one knows how long they will wait, how much they will actually get and most importantly will they ever be eligible for compensation (And knowing how highly corrupt is Croatian government here, this will never happen as they want us out).
However, compensating the peasants is not the end of the story. Why? Because with such mass actions, swine fever is carried out, bringing new unrest among producers who are thus heavily discouraged from continuing. Isn’t this another in a series of pressures to empty Slavonia rural lands of Croatia, where only infrastructure is built with EU funds instead of production? For whom is the infrastructure being built if the population replacement process is carried out? Of course, some will declare this a conspiracy theory, but things are arranged in such a way that one cannot escape the impression that the story is going in that direction.
The story of the African swine fever that turned into a swift and vigorous campaign to exterminate pigs has serious weaknesses in convincing the public with the right arguments. First of all; no one has publicly explained where African swine fever came from. Else; no veterinary expert has publicly explained in more detail what type of diagnostics they used to conclude that it was African swine fever. What specific tests were conducted and where can you get an insight into them. How did they conclude that this is African and not ordinary swine fever, etc.?
If we add some more facts to our justified suspicions, things become more and more problematic. Namely, swine fever was declared in Croatia in 2006 and 2007. and at the end of 2008. no one talked about her anymore. So it turns out that she was overpowered. However, the competent EU body is only in 2019. declared the end of this pandemic in HR, and the World Health Organization did so in 2020. During that entire time, Croatia could not export pork, and this led to the closure of many pig farms in Slavonia and some other regions in Croatia. And only two and a half years have passed, they again declared a pandemic, namely African swine fever. What will happen to our pig farming?
It is interesting that African swine fever was declared in Europe only in former socialist countries and in the West only in Belgium. I guess no one can point a finger at that protruding valve.
It is not our intention to engage in deeper professional analyzes that we expect from competent and moral experts. And they, by some coincidence, we cannot see for example on national television, as in the case of Covid. Nada Jurinčić, Ph.D., spoke well about this topic recently on a podcast with much more detail. (The podcast is in Croatian language and there are not subtitles, but if you are curious, here is link: youtu(.)be/9Tt6tQIp-Zc – remove brackets)
Croatian farmers are exposed to all possible adversities and pressures that systematically slowly lead to the collapse of agriculture and animal husbandry. Manipulations with grain purchase prices, swine fever, lumpy skin disease in cattle in 2016, lack of anti-hail protection, investment in walkways, rotors, bike paths, reconstruction of castles… instead of production, cold storage, state reserves and the stay of young people – destroy agriculture and the countryside.
We saw how much we were threatened and exposed to the violence of the staff during the Covid 19 plan, and how important the Immunology Institute is to us, which they will never revive. We see how threatened our national security is because of energy sources, that is, systemic corruption. Now we see how food prices are skyrocketing and the production of key raw materials and food products is decreasing.
Therefore, none of this can be observed in isolation, but is part of a more complex and larger program of destabilization of the Croatian people and the state. What is also visible is that in all this we are not directly threatened by external but by internal enemies.
Croatia can and must in a relatively short period of time ensure full food independence, to a large extent energy and also health security, and these are key segments of the survival and development of our society and especially the perspective of young people.
Farmers are the most difficult to move into action because these people are firmly tied to the land and their treasure. But now those ties are dangerously broken and they must finally wake up, start and turn the situation around together with all of us.

Little gods they can have in their hands and pockets.
Genesis 35:2-4
2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
3 and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
