US has had robot Tee Vee anchors since 2016.

Problem is, they never learned any words besides “Russia,Russia,Russia ...”

And anchors & actresses!

Any actor & actress could be recreated from the past, even though AI I am sure they would be fine for most TV & movie roles. Additionally producers, directors ,etc. won’t have to tolerate actor\actress tantrums. A computer program is not going get addicted, drunk or punch out someone over a parking space!

A year or two ago I saw short clip of Abraham Lincoln walking and talking. It was AI based on photos of him and it was very realistic—and eerie.

There might actually be recordings of Robert Todd Lincoln to base the voice on. ( He died in 1926.)

Well anyway, Jeff Denham has fallen behind in Cali, 204 GOP now is max (if Mia Love can’t come back from 5K down, still just 79% counted WTH Utah).

Mark Harris has officially won so cross one off the potential theft list.
