      Im sure the AI will be able to report on tyre selection, pit strategies and driver errors before long.

      Really as far as reporting and commentary goes motorsports is about as easy as it gets for an AI.

        But any insight it might have about racing is not its own, and so it may not feel genuine to someone who knows it’s AI. It’s nice to have former racers as commentators because they give you information that few other people have, like Martin Brundle for example.

        Some AI could say the same stuff, but you’d know it was coming from a computer, not experience. Maybe that would change over time, but I’m not convinced.
