Svoye TV premiered its new program, ‘Future Forecast,’ on Tuesday, showcasing the capabilities of its AI weather girl, Snezhana Tumanova. The channel revealed that the program operates using neural networks, with one responsible for the virtual presenter, another for preparing the text, and a third for generating graphic content. The program is set to air five times a day, providing viewers with regular weather updates.

Snezhana Tumanova, whose name is a play on the Russian words for ‘snow’ and ‘fog,’ is an ambitious AI presenter seeking to outperform her human counterparts. Despite her potential to revolutionize weather forecasting, the management of Svoye TV has clarified that they do not plan to abandon traditional weather forecasts featuring a human presenter at this time.

The use of artificial TV presenters is not a new phenomenon. China has been a pioneer in this field, with the state-run Xinhua News Agency launching an ‘English AI Anchor’ back in 2018. Since then, multiple outlets have followed suit. Just last week, China’s leading newspaper, the People’s Daily, unveiled an AI presenter named ‘Ren Xiaorong’ that is set to broadcast the news 24 hours a day.

Some TV newscasts can be momentarily mistaken for Victoria’s Secret specials. In an apparent attempt to capture channel-surfing male viewers, stations have hired attractive female anchors, often outfitting them in attire that emphasizes their sexuality.” These guys watch but they couldn’t tell you what was just reported.

I’ll tell you when I first noticed this. I lived in Kansas City back in the seventies and one local station there went out and made a big deal out of some new weather girl that they had hired, and I gotta tell you, when this woman stood on the East Coast and faced the West Coast, the first state you saw was Missouri.
