What did I misunderstand? What they did or why they did it? It seems to me that I understood it perfectly or they've explained it terribly.

It's amazing how many people think doing one job is "running a company." I've worked in radio. What happens in the studio is 5% of it. The staff in that room certainly gets less than 5% of the revenue.

The most popular formats are news and talk. For a reason. It's almost as if the people at this lab lack a fundamental understanding of how the world around them works. I would solve that immediate problem before I go about imagining ways "AI" can replace anything in any capacity.

Finally, I apologize, I'm just not willing to suspend basic disbelief because "AI" is unaccountably involved.
