Ha! I remember that. I watched it once or twice for the novelty of it. I seem to recall that it was very bland except for the naked women. According to Wikipedia, they are still around and I think that may be more shocking than this AI news.

As far as news quality goes I think it was actually a good program but the whole "local news" format makes it feel dated and using a green screen 90% of the time makes it feel cheap.
