More and more, the human element is being removed from the news. The most horrific events will be reported by blank-faced robots with no empathy to human emotions, at least in AI channels. Imagine what kind of emotional intelligence future people will have when they constantly hear stories from poker-faced (and voiced) human-like images.
I'm not sure what idea I hate more: Blank faced puppet cg reporters reciting horrible events, or cg puppets acting sad about their reports. Both are just...not fun.
I mean I think part of this is that the technology is reaching a point where emotion is actually reasonably emulatable.
Hopefully we may be able to get some, at least intellectualized, empathy in models in the future. https://laion.ai/blog/open-empathic/
I fear that for this kind of work, because of the stakeholders, the goal will be passable acting and not a genuine regard for people's emotional well-being.
