AI bots may well be assist in the program making but should not be used as a crutch to generate program output.
Relying on an AI bot for program output is a lazy way of doing radio.
A bot may generate commentary which is unacceptable. The broadcasting station may be subject to attending federal and state tribunals and a licencee may have their licence. This issue was raised at an earlier discussion on this site on AI bots.
While bots may be acceptable for linking songs and news bulletins, they don't innovate, lack sponteneity and are not creative.
They certainly are not responsive to impromptu news-breaking stories.
Therefore use AI bots with caution.

I feel this is another nail in the "personal touch" aspect. It should be avoided at all cost. A "certain" news service started to use AI voices to read bulletins. They soon found out it was a bad idea. Avoid!
