Yeah, I remember reading about things like sports reports and weather being generated by computers ages ago in the likes of SciAm or New Scientist. I don't recall if they used the term AI, I think they did but this was a long time ago.

A couple of financial reporting sites use machines to write articles on small cap stock ticker quarterly reports. It ends up being pretty generic but occasionally is nice to have at a glance human readable summary for when random tiny biotech is suddenly in the news out of nowhere.
I mean, sports reports are on the same level as airport announcements. There is really no need for a person to waste their life away just reporting plain boring numbers.
