So Ali Moore ‘interviewed’ an AI bot this afternoon on 3LO. At the conclusion of the interview, they asked the AI bot whether an AI bot could do the job of an ABC radio announcer. Mimicking her voice (poorly), it thought perhaps so….then there was a touch of banter. And then the 5pm news bulletin crashed through.
Yep, credentials demonstrated 
Gross. People listen to ABC for personal connection. I hope they don’t go down that route
Next Coalition or PHON government looking to slash the ABC, that’s their first port of call. You heard here first peoples. 
“A highly sophisticated AI assistant named JARVIS, which made headlines after saying it would kill a human to ensure it’s own survival, joined Ali Moore live on 774 ABC Melbourne Drive to answer your questions.”
Unbelievable. You can’t make this up
i wonder who wrote that…
Conversations at 11am on today’s ABC 612 Brisbane will be skipped with Steve Austin continuing until 12pm to take Donald’ Trump’s speech/reaction.
Which is a trend amongst human presenters on the ABC….
Had a listen to Ali Moore yesterday, apparently the listeners loved it and wanted it to return
Nightlife will be hosted by Kia Handley this weekend.
I didn’t quite catch all the details but it sounded like Michael Pavlich will be stepping away from overnights soon, to be replaced by Ashwin Segkar on an interim basis. Sounded like a permanent weekend overnight presenter is yet to be appointed with Rod Quinn not returning either.
No Rod Quinn announced he is not returning to any on air roles but will work behind the scenes. Pavlich’s role as fill in is ending after next weekend and will be replaced by Ashwin Segkar for the time being until a new permanent host is decided.
Chris Taylor will fill in on Sydney Breakfast for the next couple of weeks because Craig is filming a documentory.
Local breakfast and mornings in most states today, but it’s national bulletins all day.
Edit: national bulletins all day on Easter Sunday.
Gorgi Coghlan hosting breakfast on ABC Radio Melbourne for the next fortnight.
ABC Melbourne weekday line up this week
Breakfast: Gorgi Coghlan
Mornings: Waleed Aly
Conversation Hour: Mary Gearin
Afternoons: Todd McKenney
Drive: Justin Smith
Evenings: Paul Verhoeven
A very commercial background heavy line up there.
Four minutes of dead air after PM at 6:30 tonight on 774. Then we heard the back end of a song before AFL Monday with Corbin and Ben started.
Can’t believe I’ll say this but Gorgi is more insufferable than Macca… most of her callers this morning seemed quite inauthentic..
