Channel 13 admitted that part of the audience appearing in the finale of the reality show 'The Voice' was created using artificial intelligence. The admission came after videos from the finale, which aired last night (Tuesday), raised questions on social media about the audience seen in the studio. The channel explained that Static's performance was filmed in an empty studio, so it was decided to artificially add viewers, 'so it wouldn't look weird.' In one of the clips, a young woman is seen disappearing from the frame and being replaced by another. Users on social media identified the discrepancies and claimed that the uniform applause and exaggerated movements indicated an artificial audience. The current season of the show recorded a sharp drop in ratings: the finale garnered 4.9% ratings and only 151,000 viewers, a 59% drop compared to the premiere episode and 43% compared to the previous finale.
