So many of you know so much more than i do, but here's my concern. Amature radio licenses are used for two way communication. We can not broadcast (pre-recorded music, etc) one way, hence the check in at the beginning and breaks for questions or comments. I'm thinking AI would fall into the broadcast rather than the two way communication category and be disallowed by the FCC.

I personally would not like to have to listen to a net hosted by AI.
Nets are about operators doing the net.
I am against AI in amateur radio. It’s about us talking on the radio.
If you want to hear a perfect weather report get it on TV.
Just my opinion.

For my rebuttal :
 Ai voice / synthesize voice is used on Public safety frequencies ie : “Dispatching “ along with several  “other applications”  that fall under the all mighty FCC control ..Ham radio hobby is an ever evolving concept in its own self . With experimentation / development/ research  etc. that is going on daily in several different directions within this Hobby . ..as “change” disagrees with some ,but maybe it should be embraced in order for the hobby to advance…

 Bruce,

In my ever so humble opinion ... The Commission wouldn't be all that happy with an AI on the air on amateur frequencies.

Repeaters identify using a synthesized voice, but that's canned with a limited vocabulary. It won't say something it should not.  An AI is going to say whatever is on the script.
