Recently, as videos of artificial intelligence (AI) weathercasters delivering weather spread online, there have been a series of cases where they are mistaken for actual terrestrial broadcasting screens.
According to online communities and social networking services (SNS) on the 28th, videos and capture images of female AI characters wearing skirts conducting weather forecasts were quickly shared. Some posts drew attention with the explanation that “terrestrial broadcasting stations have replaced weathercasters with AI.”
However, it was confirmed that the video was not a terrestrial broadcast, but a Generative AI content posted on the YouTube channel “Weather Environment Agency” operated by weather and air service company KWether.
The person in the video is a virtual character called “Kim Si-A AI weatherman.” The original video includes a guide saying, “This video was produced using Generative AI.”
In the video, the AI character points to a weather map and explains the weather in a format similar to the actual weather broadcast. Some say that it is not easy to distinguish that it is an AI product if only captured images or short videos are encountered without original information phrases because the screen composition is also similar to existing broadcasts.
Online, people responded that they were surprised by the development of AI technology, and there were also voices of concern.
Netizens responded by saying, “Isn’t the time when AI will take charge of news anchors now?” and “The speed of technology development is really fast.”
On the other hand, there were not a few critical opinions, such as “Should I have made it with such clothes?” “It seems to focus on appearance rather than information delivery,” “I still feel AI’s unique awkwardness,” and “It is difficult to focus on the content because of the heterogeneity.”
