Artificial Intelligence-enabled Braunschweiger showcases advanced tactics at "Asked-Hunted" event
In a surprising turn of events, a contestant named Heval from Braunschweig, who recently appeared on the German TV show "Tatort," has admitted to using a quiz app and AI to prepare for the show. This revelation has sparked discussions among "Tatort" viewers, with some expressing their disapproval, stating "That's not on."
The use of AI to prepare for a live TV show is an uncommon practice, and Heval's method has certainly raised eyebrows. The AI in question appears to mimic the quick-fire round on the popular quiz show "Quizzed - Hunted," hosted by Alexander Bommes.
"Quizzed - Hunted" is a fast-paced quiz show that tests contestants' knowledge in various categories. The AI-based quiz app, designed to replicate the quick-fire round, presents rapid, timed questions to simulate the pressure of live rounds on TV quiz shows. It adapts question difficulty or categories dynamically, reflecting the show's format. The AI uses speech recognition or quick input to respond swiftly, offering immediate feedback or scoring to emulate the pace and competitiveness of the TV round.
Heval aced the first round of "Tatort" and earned 4,000 euros. His AI setup, which included an AI set to speak the answers out loud, clearly paid off. Alexander Bommes, the host of "Quizzed - Hunted," was fascinated by Heval's admission and jokingly suggested that Heval might replace him on the quiz show.
Despite the controversy, Heval's use of AI has brought attention to the potential of technology in enhancing performance on live TV shows. The show "Tatort," which has been airing since 2015 and has been watched by millions, continues to captivate audiences with its intriguing cases and compelling characters.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether the use of AI to prepare for TV shows will become more common in the future. For now, "Quizzed - Hunted" will continue to lead the way in fast-paced, exciting quiz show entertainment, with Alexander Bommes at the helm.
Artificial-intelligence, previously used in the AI-based quiz app "Quizzed - Hunted," was employed by Heval to prepare for "Tatort," simulating the quick-fire round's pressure. This technology's application in enhancing live TV show performance is now under debate, with the potential for its wider adoption in the future being a topic of interest.
