Sportsnet ripped for bizarre Stanley Cup promo using AI to turn announcers into babies
Perhaps the Sportsnet braintrust ran out of material to pump up a much-anticipated Stanley Cup final. Article content Or perhaps they were sticking with the idea that lame attempts at humour were both in keeping with some of the jocularity the crew is known for and somehow endearing to a national audience awaiting the best-of-seven repeat showdown between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. Article content Article content Article content But whatever Sportsnet was thinking in using a bizarre artificial intelligence social media post seemed like a spectacularly bad idea. Article content Unless, of course, the idea was to go the parody route to mock their own on-air talent, which seems to be the end result.

Article content Article content While it may have caused the odd chuckle, an attempt at irreverence was instead immature at best. In particular, there were a couple examples of the commentators tripping over there words and another where Friedman was, shall we say, all chocked up. Article content 'Just stop with this crap,' Olbermann posted on X.
