  1. This ain’t it. I’ve seen more and more swiss companies start to use it and I can tell everytime and it fucking annoys me.

  2. As long as it’s clearly stated and as long as it is not used to create the majority or even entirety of the work (for example AI music or some shitty AI “news article”) I don’t mind.

  3. As an AI researcher, I want AI to be used where it is needed and useful for humanity in general. Some of these places are medicine research, use cases for blind, deaf and disabled in general, energy management, disaster monitoring systems, analysis of large set of documents etc. Image generation(Artistic – can be useful in other cases like astronomy), content writing and artistic designing are certainly not areas where we need AI.

    Replacing artists with AI slop is only to cut costs and impinge on the creative forces that are necessary for a well functioning society. It’ll only fill the pockets of rich.

  4. SRF using AI it means some people will get fire or they won’t hire any more? If that’s the case, I’m completely against, if not, They’d better use a good AI, because you can really tell the difference between news written by AIs and by humans.

  5. In this specific case it‘s pretty well done and much, much faster and cheaper than having an artist do the work. We cannot demand the SRG to cut costs and at the same time condemn the use of AI in situations where it‘s useful and appropriate 

  6. Disgusting and appaling. AI has its uses and can make daily life easier and more efficient but State funded media is not one of them in my opinion. Its Already bad enough that more and more well known public companies and public transport such as VBL in lucerne have turned to make AI generated ads.

  7. If I am forced to give money every year to SRF via the Serafe tax, I expect them to at least maintain jobs in this country. Nearshoring + AI = abolish the television fee.

  8. As a strategy, maybe a very large, almost colossal amazon package could break down the front gate with some help from a package with armorer sides…

  9. Really don’t mind if they use it to illustrate a situation or something that would be hard to with “real” pictures. What I despise is content creators that use AI generated thumbnails that don’t get used in the content at all. So long as they don’t do that we’re good imo.

  10. Well, aren’t we constantly trying to defund them even more? Wonder why they look for cheaper options than human resources… I don’t like it, I want to have a well funded public broadcaster

  11. Sad, especially knowing they could hire local artists who are already struggling with AI in the private sector

  13. Public broadcasting is not the target to pick when it comes to cost-cutting through AI, especially not with fluff like the above illustration, i.e. not the kernel of journalistic work. SRF is under enormous pressure to reduce costs and is constantly attacked from the right, a significant part of which would rather see the entirety of broadcasting fully privatized, for reasons that ought to be obvious. No need to pile on top of that.

  14. A crappy article all around, the ai generated image fits.
