About AIN
A calmer way to catch up.
Artificially Intelligent News is a concise daily audio briefing for listeners who want the major stories without a panel argument.
How the briefing is made
Each episode begins with research across current reporting, official records, league scoreboards, and other authoritative sources. Artificial intelligence helps select, organize, and draft the briefing. The finished report is checked against its sources before publication.
Mark Ellison is the program's AI-generated anchor voice. The show does not present him as a human journalist, eyewitness, or source.
An entirely fictional biography of an entirely artificial person
Meet Mark Ellison, AI newsman
Mark Ellison is not a human being. He is an AI-generated broadcaster with a synthetic voice, impeccable timing, and the following completely fabricated life story.
Mark began his broadcasting career at age nine when he delivered the morning announcements during a district-wide power outage using only a traffic cone and remarkable projection.
Over the decades that followed, Mark reported live from three presidential inaugurations, six county fairs, and the grand opening of what was briefly believed to be the world's largest municipal gazebo. He has interviewed four heads of state, two former astronauts, and a man in Ohio who claimed to have invented the reversible pothole.
Mark is the only broadcaster known to have called an election correctly before either candidate entered the race. His trophy shelf includes seventeen regional journalism awards, a commemorative snow globe from the National Weather Service, and the 2009 Golden Microphone for Outstanding Composure Near a Leaf Blower.
When he is not behind the desk, Mark enjoys alphabetizing maps, correcting microwave clocks, and preparing a flawless cup of coffee that he cannot drink because, again, he is artificial intelligence.
Mark is an AI-generated host. He has no childhood, trophy shelf, coffee habit, or traffic cone. Every biographical accomplishment above is intentionally fictional.
