Response to the move was about as vitriolic as one would expect. Exacerbating the anger was the fact that Radio Kraków's human hosts were no longer at the station because they were "external collaborators" who had not had their contracts renewed, and "not because of AI," claimed editor-in-chief Marcin Pulit.

In an Amazon-level move of PR brilliance, the radio decided that the first thing the AIs should do is interview Wislawa Szymborska, the Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet and writer who died in 2012. This was, of course, another AI recreation, leading to even more outrage.
