NFL Faces AI Accusations Over ‘Move the Sticks’ Podcast Feed
The podcast posted a new episode hosted by an unidentified voice.
The NFL is facing backlash on social media for releasing a new podcast episode on the same feed that previously hosted the popular "Move the Sticks" show. Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks, the former hosts of "Move the Sticks," continued to be listed as the hosts of the new episodes, which began airing on Tuesday. However, the new shows were actually hosted by an unidentified broadcaster.
The feed on Apple Podcasts still showed Jeremiah and Brooks as the hosts, but a disclaimer from iHeart, NFL's audio partner, stated that the show was guaranteed to be hosted by a human. Observers on Twitter/X suspected that the programs were AI-generated. NFL spokespersons did not respond to requests for comment. Daniel Jeremiah, who no longer appears on the old feed, told Twitter/X, "No idea.
I no longer appear on that old feed. I'm launching a new pod in a new home in the very near future." Some have called the situation "truly bizarre."
