Last week another new AIgenerated reporter took the stage on a top television channel, this time in Thailand. The avatar’s name is Natcha and she’s described in the press release as having been created from “the most advanced algorithms.”

In this installment, we take a careful look at the quality and also at the opportunities for improvement for this new AI Personality, and compare her to three other wellknown examples: One from China, one from India and one from Kuwait.

Next, we turn our attention to how to create our own talking avatar, for Marketing or for training or explainer videos, or other uses. As part of that, we look at Synthesia, Meta Celebrity Avatar licensing, and Murf.ai. And, in the spirit of GoodBetterBest, then we look at an amazing new technology called EMO, which is short for Emote Portrait Alive, which far surpasses everything else.

Near the end of today’s installment, we’ll see an animation of the Mona Lisa speaking the lines of Rosalind, from William Shakespeare's play: As You Like It.

EMO is very exciting new technology outshines all the AI Presenters on national television channels around the world by a big margin, including the one that launched last week, and which was hailed in last week’s announcement as having been created by “the most advanced algorithms.” And that illustrates how fast this technology is evolving!
