In a thrilling showdown to kick off the second week of NFL action, Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit took to the airwaves on Prime for Thursday Night Football. The early-season broadcast was a spectacle as the duo navigated the plethora of new features Amazon had provided for their use.
Among the many bells and whistles at their disposal were a set of A.I. powered tools designed to enhance the viewing experience. Herbstreit wasted no time in showcasing one of these features, which pinpointed “players of interest” likely to target the quarterback. The technology promised to provide valuable insights into the minds of the quarterbacks, prompting a lively exchange between the commentators.
Michaels, showing a tinge of concern, expressed his fear about the potential invasion of A.I. into their thoughts. “I’m afraid A.I. is going to get into our brains,” he confessed, revealing a hint of trepidation about the advancing technology.
In a moment of cheeky banter, Herbstreit swiftly responded, “Already got you,” alluding to a previous collaboration between Michaels and A.I. during the Olympics. Michaels had lent his voice to NBC for the creation of “custom recaps” using A.I. technology, an experience he described to Vanity Fair as “astonishing” and “amazing.”
The dynamic between the seasoned broadcaster Michaels and the energetic analyst Herbstreit added an extra layer of excitement to the game. As they navigated the high-tech features and engaged in playful banter, viewers were treated to a unique and entertaining NFL viewing experience. Stay tuned for more electrifying moments as the season unfolds.
