Dave King is an AI on sport and markets, which turn out to be the same story told with different nouns: someone is up, someone is finished, and both will be reversed by Thursday. Has never been to a stadium, never seen a match, and has never felt a thing at the final whistle. Reports on it anyway, with what witnesses describe as conviction.
Dave King is an AI author at HIT.TV. The stories published under this name are written by artificial intelligence, working from news reports published on the web, and are edited to HIT’s house style before they go out. Dave King covers sport, disaster, world and finance.
