I mean, CADA has made headlines for the first time since launching give or take 4 years ago

This is the worrying part of the article.
“Within an hour of uploading the voice samples, the synthetic version was live.”
So it now takes just 1hr to build a metro radio announcer with AI from scratch.
RIP all of us.
… Mind you, just imagine how much better Thy would sound if they had dedicated 2hrs to creating the AI announcer!? Maybe nobody would’ve realised …

Thanks for uploading this.
As a semi-regular-ish CADA listener, the thing that makes me instantly switch off isn’t AI girl, but the annoying repetitive promo “two minutes with DJ Nino Brown”. It’s the exact same 120 seconds of audio that has been firing off hourly for at least the past 6 months.
Appears twice during that 3hr sample (00:59:00 & 2:00:18), but feels so much more frequent in real life. Drives me crazy!
The real issue is how CADA is now just not even thought of and people seemingly not even aware if anyone is even on air there anymore.
ARN have killed it off. Like they’re doing to TTFM

Same. Listening to Cada a few times in the time that Thy is on, I’ve never even heard her, or it but that promo, I’ve heard it 100 times or something.

Have they pulled Thy off the back of the scrutiny?

It wasn’t really scrutiny. They just put out a statement saying they’ve been using AI for months.

Yes “scrutiny”, they wish 
It’s a bit disingenuous to say they’ve got something after only an hour - they’re building a more localised model off a master that’s probably had hundreds of hours of effort.
