Ok, now this was incredible.. playing with another ai engine called simply News, this one is completely free.
It asked me what topics I wanted it to cover. I typed in:
"Broadcasting AM radio under FCC part 15 regulation. Music royalties. Radio programing."
Theres a slider bar, that was default at 15 minutes which I slid back to about 8 minutes.
It ask the name of my station so I typed in "Back River Radio".
That's it, done.
From the text I entered it created the following Simply News episode entitled:
"FCC Regulations for Low-Power Broadcasting, American Music Fairness Act, and the Evolution of Radio Content"

That does sound very impressive.
And yet, while sounding impressive, it also demonstrates one of the failings of AI. It's only as accurate as the data it uses. The bit about 200 feet range for Part 15 just isn't correct for Part 15 AM. Debatable for Part 15 FM.
I also wonder about the built in biases of the technology. Where it gets the facts to create stories can introduce a particular slant to a piece. Many of the supposed factual news items I read on the Internet are, in reality, biased opinion pieces with bits of facts thrown in as support.
Still, a good find. I'll probably play around with it to see what kinds of stories it generates for current events. It'll be interesting to see how it handles politics.
..demonstrates one of the failings of AI. It's only as accurate as the data it uses. The bit about 200 feet..
Yeah, forgot to mention that. But really it's incredible what it came up with. The entire process of generation took less than 30 seconds.
But yeah, it's a curious document, and former FCC chief engineer said that it was "wrought full of errors". One of the last charts I know of R Fry posting was that one in Radio World demonstrating a fully compliant install can achieve a range of 1.5 miles from the transmitter. Not heresay, but physics.
So much for the 200 ft rule.
