I find this AI technology a bit unsettling. Sure it’s a fun party trick and can be fascinating/entertaining as a novelty, but I do worry that it potentially starts us on a slippery slope towards inauthenticity, duplicity, fraud, and distrust. I mean, talk about “fake news.”

Not everyone follows the same moral/ethical code, as we see most glaringly in the political sphere. Who knows how this AI technology could be used to manipulate, defame, influence, or undermine.

It just gives me pause.

Yes - I do agree with that. What I find ineffective about these two "reviews" is the sense of generality that neither Atkinson nor Kerr would have settled for. To write something "in the style of" is easy enough, even for a computer - but those reviews sound too much like someone who had never really seen the show, but could figure out what might have been generally highlighted in a review. They don't pass the test to me at all.

That said, yes, I do think there will be potential applications of AI that will be much better, where we would have a much harder time questioning authenticity.
