I don’t care if his son is behind it. AI Parky is just fucking offensive. And I hope most celebrities will refuse to be interviewed by a robot (but probably not). Maybe they can send their own AI for AI Parky to interview.

TLDR

• Legendary British TV talk show host Michael Parkinson to return in AI form

• Polish radio station Off Radio Krakow sacks its hosts and uses AI instead
• New Tom Hanks movie Here uses AI to de-age its stars

AI is being used to launch a new podcast from the late, great British TV talk show host Michael Parkinson, who died in 2023 aged 88. While that might sound creepy to some, the project called Virtually Parkinson is being fully backed by Mike Parkinson, the son of the legendary talk show host, and his estate.
