Channel 4's alternative Christmas message will this year be generated entirely by artificial intelligence, the broadcaster has announced. The message will be delivered by Ameca, one of the world's most advanced robots. The broadcast, which will run after the King's annual Christmas message at 3pm, will see the robot speak about the highs and lows of 2022. During the address Ameca will also respond to questions about humans. She is due to say that human-kind should be "neither happy nor sad" about the past year and "take it as a learning opportunity, a chance to change the way we think about the world and a reminder to help those in need whenever we can".

England's BBC Channel 4 is going have an AI robot named Ameca provide the alternative Christmas message to King Charles' official royal remarks. A dystopian humanoid cyborg is set to give us the seasons' greetings this year on Channel 4. According to a report from Deadline, the AI robot, whose name is Ameca will be delivering alternate remarks to King Charles III's annual Royal Christmas message which will broadcast on its usual home on Channel 1. The robot was developed by Engineered Arts, a developing firm in Cornwall, England. The AI for Ameca is apparently set to deliver remarks which seek to calm the nation and the world at large, by reassuring us that 2022 was a "learning opportunity, a chance to change the way we think about the world and a reminder to help those in need whenever we can." This sounds suspiciously like some kind of terrifying cyborg threat, especially without hearing the accompanying Apple Maps voice delivering the statement, but Channel 4 assures us the robot supports the human race and loves a good laugh when times get tough.
