  • AI generated ‘presenter’ is extremely awkward

    I just listened to the episode, ‘Tariffs will reshape Asia’. It was read by a robotic, awkward AI voice. The topic is so relevant and important, but the voice was just terrible and made it really difficult to listen to. I usually regard NHK as a trusted source of news, so I’m so disappointed.
