AI Voices - Too Artificial, Not Enough Intelligence

One of the UK's smaller radio stations is now using AI to power it's hourly sports bulletins. 

They're using the voice of their regular sports presenter (I hope she got paid for that!) which will read the new sports news to their listeners.

For me it's not real enough yet, it doesn't sound quite human and hasn't got the inflections in the voice that create a connection with the listener... yet. It's worth pointing out this is the worst it will ever be, the technology is only going to get better and more realistic.
