Fake diversity: why hire a non-white DJ when you could just generate one with AI?
Video version, with clips of the bot-DJ
This sounds like the setup for a deeply fucked up comedy skit, or a Filthy Frank episode, or some shit like that, but nope, its real, its actually happened, the tech industry has invented a new and interesting form of racism.
Digital blackface was one of the first uses for genAI - turning white models or white voices "black" rather than hiring an actual black person
I am sensing a new standup comedy routine where a tablet pretending to be AI has a script to say some of the worse takes while claiming to be different people at different points. And the host dissects the responses with observational humor
"What the hell do you call that routine"
"the LEMMYVERSE!"
