She's a new BBC presenter in Singapore apparently - or so the BBC claim. She's on the early morning news commenting on various financial and political things.
I'm absolutely sure she's an AI bot. She talks in a VERY American accent and she never makes a single mistake - no stumbles over words or anything. It's always just a string of words. But she does that thing that bots do in that she gets the emphasis of phrases wrong - as if it's someone reading a text but has no understanding of what any of it means. And she never seems to say anything. She also said that Nicola Sturgeon was the leader of the BNP which is quite a gaff really.
Has anybody else heard this "woman"?

The reason she talks in an American accent is that she is American...

Is there a YouTube video or something we can watch, to make a judgement? There is info about her on the Interweb, one source says nothing is known about her family. |

So there are people already heading down the Conspiracy Theory route with this woman.
Okay. Let's play, and assume that she IS, indeed, an AI bot put there by the BBC as part of some sinister plot.
What's the BARE MINIMUM number of people who'd have to be in on this?
(Hint - programmers, editorial staff, gallery crews, all the studio crew who wonder why there's nobody on the set, hair and makeup who have an empty chair every morning.. Let's be conservative and guess fifty?)
Why has no one blown the gaff already?
Do you know how bad people are at keeping secrets?

Today you are sure, but I would caution the certainty half-life on this issue is probably as little as six months. In six months time, you will only be half as sure that a similar claim is false - and six months after that, half again. |

I find most newsreaders, particularly newer recruits, have a tendency to emphasise parts of their script that really require no emphasis. I find it annoying and then even more annoying knowing that it's not an issue to be annoyed about. |

She's "selling" the news as a product we should be interested in.

Let's be conservative and guess fifty?) Why has no one blown the gaff already? Do you know how bad people are at keeping secrets? I don't think many people would have to be involved in "the conspiracy" at all. When I mentioned that the CO2 theory of climate catastrophe could be be part of a disinformation campaign (probably initiated in China) I was accused of peddling a conspiracy theory, but you need remarkably few people to start off a daft theory nowadays. The internet has changed everything. All you need is one guy making a video on Youtube that goes viral. The daft theory then has a life of its own and will grow or die depending on how stupid people are. The initiator can quietly disappear. So 95% of scientists believe this theory now - yet there has never been a poll AFAIK. And no one has ever managed to find one, but it doesn't stop politicians from all parties quoting the figure. In the case of "Maria Miller" my opinion is that she's an AI bot that the BBC are using. I don't think many people would need to be involved at all. It's just an early morning report on Radio 4 (not TV) about the economy and finance, which is exactly the kind of thing that can be done very easily by AI - and voiced by a synthesiser. Like I said the giveaways are that the delivery is always faultless apart from the fact that the emphasis on the clauses in the sentences is wrong - which is always a giveaway. Her photos on the internet all look like bad photoshops and the American accent is fake IMO. It'll be interesting to see if she's actually real. Maybe she'll appear on TV one day. She's certainly a fucking sight better than the BBC's "economics correspondent" Faisal Islam who's apparently paid over £250 thousand for his infrequent and illiterate pronouncements. And she almost certainly looks nicer. |

The reason she talks in an American accent is that she is American... LOL. |
